Undersides got painted couple days ago - FS36375 Light Ghost Grey; topside painted last night - M-485 Blue Grey FS35189 - closest I can find for Blue Grey. Currently masking for the FS25042 Dark Blue, aka: Sea Blue (ANA 606). I have a couple possible colors in my stash but I will paint that later tonight.
All my pylons are assembled with my weapons of choice - AIM-9s, GBUs, Snakeyes, tanks, a single AIM-120.

Paint session is almost done! Just need to touch up on a couple spots where tape pulled paint and minor overspray. All is left is spray clear gloss to prep for decal session.
Anyhoo...
Radome Tan on nose was last paint session for the night.

Touched up on oversprays/bleeds. Ready for gloss clearcoat for decals. Will do the same with the Viper kit I've held off, too.

Almost done with THE most difficult decal session. All is left are stencils and other roundels. Then I’ll jump in in finishing this one up hopefully by Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving night.

Decals are done, underwings pylons are installed, all is left are the fiddly bits, landing struts/doors and minor painting to do. Once that’s done, a clearcoat will be applied before calling it done.
