| Painting the Cheetah ... (page 4) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The red ("Firethorn") was applied, then after the appropriate time for drying, it was remasked for the "Claret". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The registration numbers were to be in "Claret", so the masking for the numbers was uncovered, and the exposed base paint was hand-sanded so the trim color will adhere properly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The control surfaces were painted, still separate from the rest of the airplane. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Steve removed the masking from the newly-painted white drop-shadow on the registration numbers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Control surface balance was checked by an A&P, decals and placards were applied, and the Cheetah was ready to go. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Home at last! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|

| To help with your Grumman paint project, download the "blank" Cheetah photo, or download original side-view sketches of the AA-1, AA-1A/B/C; AA-5; or AA-5A/B/AG-5B. Good luck! |
