That's a good idea.

I sprayed 2 coats of clear gloss on the top part.

How's it looking?

I guess the answer is shinny.

Has it dried yet?

Probably. I think I'll put a clear coat on the bottom then do the decals. You can see gaps where the 2 halves of the fuselage join that's because I don't have putty yet. I ordered some but this model will be finished without it.

Still, it's a good first model build.

It's not as good as it could be but I didn't destroy it yet.

Most things can be done to varying degrees and this one is going to be very basic.

Check this out? How cool is this? The evolution of a jet all in the same scale. I just got the F-86A today. At this time the only other version that I know of is the Australian version. They put a different engine in it and stretched the fuselage. I don't know if there is a model of it or if you could tell the difference if there is.

I just applied my first decal to the shuttle. All I have right now is TESTORS decal set. I'll have to order some of that MICRO SET & MICRO SOL.

The 3 decal names for the shuttle that I have to choose from are Discovery Atlantis Endeavour.

Looking at photos of Atlantis it has a blue NASA emblem on its sides along with UNITED STARTS and flag. My decals don't have that blue NASA emblem.

Discovery has it also.
