OK, now it looks more 'military' - Overall Xtracolour RAL6005, that's the lighter green from the Luftwaffe wraparound scheme from the 1980's.









More in a minute !

Masked over the lighter green last night, ready for another colour - which I'll be spraying later this morning.

Humbrol 9 isn't as orange as it looks in that pic, I'm guessing you're going for some kind of SEA style finish, Belgian maybe???
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Colours just didn't 'feel' right when I took-off the masking this afternoon,  :banghead: :banghead:  so out with the Fairy Power Spray :









Need to rethink the 'tan'.

Is not that radical? :o
But if you were not happy, I agree with you. :thumbsup:

Well had a couple of paint sessions this week, and got a tone I'm far happier with. mixed-into the Humbrol '9' some Xtracolour RAF Dk Earth Brown and got a much better 'look' - Actual ratio was 1 part 'Tan' to 2 parts 'DkEB' - Looks great now. Very happy - pics over the weekend, the greens will start to go back on, on Wednesday.

Ah, more Des O'Connor this time rather than the full David Dickinson!

A profound if not a little smart*rse of an observation, young Simon  ;D - It's masked now and ready for paint tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

With only the radome, fin tip and all the ECM & sensor 'buttons' to paint, that's pretty much it. Have to say that now, it absolutely matched the images I had in my imagination when I set-out. Really happy with this one...... So far  :blink: - definitely worth the re-start/re-paint.





















Thanks for all the support and encouragement.

VERY nice sir!  :thumbsup:  If I thought that we'd soon see RAAF roundels go on would I be a fool?  ;D
