Wow, a balsa builder. You're a rare creature nowadays.  8)
Just finished restoring my old Genital Lady a couple months ago, I built about 15 years ago. Flies like a brand new one.
Oh yeah, looks like progress on the scooter, too.

Haha, no it's  toy aeroplanist nickname for something far less interesting. Google "gentle lady" instead.  ;D

Thanks guys! It's actually a dark, 2 flake gunmetal gray. I hope it comes out good. Kinda just guessing what it will look like completed with this color.
No more painting right now....lots of rain here.

You had mentioned maybe doing black on black for the decals on the tank.  Is that still going to happen?  Nfield Gear still has the old logo in black lettering on their site.

I can't wait to see the finished product.  This is exactly the cool kind of stuff having a modern 'classic' allows you to do.  Modify and change to your liking without destroying and 'value' a collector might place on such things.

Keep up the great work!   8)
