Title: Juno conversion
Post by: chriswil42 on November 10, 2022, 03:07:24 PM
Just started this - should be fairly straight forward. The converion kit is Air Graphics and I'm using a Revell donor kit.

Don't tempt fate with "should be straight forward", we've all made that mistake!!!

Main fuselage halves together. Part of front engine section removed so that a resin part from the conversion can be inserted.

Two coats of the yellow. May need a third.

I usually undercoat with white when I use yellow, not so many coats needed then.
