Blue is going on a GP-35 this afternoon. Nice day for painting outside. I'm not an airbrush painter either, so I have to rely on good weather. Hopefully 385 will be up and running this week-end. Then on to some GP-38's.

Here's another one from April 7 in Cadillac. Crossing 5th St at Third Ave headed north.
