Very nice Ian  :mellow:
It certainly suits the colour scheme for sure. I might have to borrow that if I do my 2 Rafales as Honduras AF birds.
Cheers,

I might have a go and finish one in Royal Navy colours, as they will be flying the real thing shortly.

Wow, that is embarrassingly good...I feel like a kid working with crayons next to your painting skills.

Just can't get over how you master the airbrush.  Are your color hues custom-mixed or right out of the "tinlet"?

This is really something, Ian.    :bow:   :thumbsup:   :cheers:

Mr. Shrieking Rodent
Both the greens are straight from the tin Xtracolour RLM70 Schwarzgrun, and RAL ???? Leuchtgrun (that's the lighter green from the short-lived German Euro 1 type scheme from the 1980's). The tan is one part Humbrol 09 to two parts Xtracolour RAF Dk Earth Brown. All paints are heavily thinned with cellulose thinner and sprayed at very low pressure 12-15psi in two or three thin coats.
