Been there,(Phu Cat) done that. Gotta remember the time frame and the fact that SEA had no OSHA or EPA.And Phu Cat had ONE hangar for inspections (phases).That “Hun was obviously “new” in country and needed to conform quickly,plus she’s carrying an inboard pylon,NOT an SEA configuration without a TER or MER.:dev2:

This is the second thread on watching someone paint an F-100, thankfully both have been quite interesting!
I wouldn’t have believed that some of the colours were applied by spray can before now!

I just loved that it was done outside! In a Revetment.
No staging, No overalls, mask, breathing system, goggles, gloves even!
I also loved the way he just sprayed over or into all those little hole things…

I note how carefully he masked the denmarcation lines between the different colours and refered to the manual to make sure that he had the right camouflage pattern for the particular aircraft type! – just like most modellers do on their plastic kits when using an airbrush.

Now that was more interesting than watching paint dry – many thanks!

Interesting to see he used a rattle can for the tan colour.
