After a thunderstorm passed through, I noted there was a problem... the paint was apparently still wet from the warbird weekend at Maam!

Crikey E, did you make your own bare skin or download it ?Im having a heck of a job getting the area around the nose clean and would kill to get my hands on the bare texture for the cargo version ! I have most the fuselage clean and the tail section ready for a repaint but the nose really has me stumped.rgds Jeff
