Re: Jssel's Salamander
Will you need an extension or are you confident of getting it done? You seem to making good progress so far.

Re: Jssel's Salamander

So as I finished at the bench last night I snapped a couple of shots before the gloss coat. The colors are Poly Scale RLM 81 and 82. I used the Blue Tack Rope method for masking.

Re: Jssel's Salamander
Jeff, that looks really good and the paintwork is excellent. As of midnight tomorrow night this GB will close so I hope it's finished by then.

With 2.5 hours left on the clock US time, I am calling this one done.

Very good, glad you could do a 2nd Blitz this month
