Overall Light Aircraft Grey (LAG).




Light Aircraft Grey masked, waiting on Medium Sea Grey (MSG).




Following the MSG, I mixed a grey to fill the gap between MSG and Dark Sea Grey (DSG). Unfortunately not only was it too close to DSG in tone, it also flaked off when I came to remove the masking tape.











So.... I rubbed-down the offending mixed grey, then masked the whole thing off, mixed up another grey and sprayed it this afternoon. Now it looks almost exactly how it did in my minds eye when I was planning it.

Thanks for looking.

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

Looks great Ian! the geometric camo looks perfect on this bird, I also think the colors worked out well, Molson Grey? Hmmm the intake does look a bit like a bottle opener  :lol:

Wow, very artistic, Ian.  Cutting edge stuff.
What brand paint do you use?
