We had a beautiful warm dry day which allowed me to start painting the color on the wings. I decided, on the lower surfaces, to use Tuscon Cream with some Aluminum powder added to reasonably match the fuselage and tail. This seemed like I could get a good match without all the work. I added 4 Tablespoons of Aluminum Powder to a gallon of Poly-Tone. I like it but I should have added a lot more aluminum. It looked like a match until I painted it. If you look at the wing closest to the fuselage you can see I could have added a lot more aluminum. I never had good samples to match for this color so I'm leaving it even though I have enough Poly Tone to repaint everything. I'd rather get this done and back in the sky.
My next bit is to start on the markings. I need White under the Red and Blue.
