I wonder if it's related to the Skyray that I'm building with the fit issues. It looks like a pretty easy fix though.

I don't think this is insurmountable as it looks from here. I think this is going to be one heck of a build, Joe.

Got the topside colors on and was hoping for a little better definition on the mottle pattern. May come back over it with some more over the weekend. Disregard the hard demarcation line between the upper and lower colors on the gun bay doors as I'll not be using these. I'll be using the open panels. Here we are as of now.

Looking very sharp! I’m so used to seeing green 262s. In gray, the thing looks even more like a shark!
