Looks good!
If the colours are representative in the photos, it looks more arid than the usual Swedish camo - which makes sense to me. Pretty dark blue on the underside? Has that been done In Real World?

Ma-a-a-ate! That's awesome! :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

The camo scheme is perfect! Simply brilliant! :bow:  :bow:  :bow:

I love it! :wub:



@perttime: That blue, or something very similar, was used on RAAF aircraft operating in the North Australian/Asia-Pacific theatre during WW2. I don't think it carried over into the post-war period, but it may have.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That camo really is spot on  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Cheers Rui mate 👍 😉
It's uppers are glossed now but not underneath..still have some painting to do there .
I would work on it more today but after changing the fuel filter on a 96 Toyota Windom I now have a rather large chunk of meat missing from my right wrist and it's quite uncomfortable  :lol:
Oh the fun of work on cars 🚗 🙄 😅

That reminds me of how i used to "love" stripping a nut when working on my BMX bike... i have too many scars on my knuckles to count and some were done over older scars of the same type of accident... :rolleyes:  :banghead:

Mate I know that all to well..ive a plaster in my little finger on my right hand..right at the joint..tore it open yesterday..exact same place from 3 weeks ago and it's in one of those places where it's a right bugger for a plaster to stick properly..bloody annoying 😕

It's more frustrating when you have to get stitches because of a blade slipping...  :banghead:
