Finished up the smoke boxes on the AC-5/7.  The AC-7 also has the front painted silver.  Another 2 hours in the toaster oven.  The aluminum foil in the tray works well in keeping fresh paint from sticking to it.

Started to put stripping on the walk boards.  I found paint pens to work well.  I pick them up at Michael's craft store. Trying to paint them with a brush can be tricky without getting paint on the top of the walk board.  I've also used chart tape but it can come off when handled plus, when baked after putting a dull coat finish on, it can come loose.
