OK, the light grey underside is on with some weather/dirtying of rivets now. Also got the camo colours mixed up to spec. These are simply the 'base' colours - they will be dirtied up and 'bleached' out towards the top of the fuse as the sun would do in real life.

Rgds,
Mark

OK, the very basic camo colours have now been added. Now the magic really begins!! Bleaching/dirtying/weathering/details/logos/squadron numbers/stencilling etc!

Well, what I do is get up and go to work and then when I come home they are done

I will ask my paint man how he does it!!

As this will be a pseudo scale scheme I have asked him to add some more dark green to the front left fuselage as, to my mind, it 'looks' a bit wrong!

Hope to have pics of the wings tonight. Then it is the laborious task of turning this into a heavily weathered and bleached indonesian jungle machine!

Rgds,
Mark
