Gnome with slippers.

Slippers are from an Airfix Firefly which is shedding parts quicker than a leper in bad taste joke (remember leper jokes?  they were all the rage when I was at school).

[loupgarou]

Wow, it's getting pretty!
Are leper jokes at least still allowed under political correctness rules? Every other minority joke seems to be banned! 

[63cpe]

It's really looking good and effective!

All jokes are banned as being political incorrect    Sigh......now what was the purpose of a joke??

Put some pink primer on today in the areas which will get yellow stripes.

[zenrat]

Not much to report.  Some yellow paint on the wings and fuselage.  Pink primer really does add richness to it.  I used RLM04 which is gold-ish anyway but over the pink it really has a harvest gold like glow to it.
Nice.

In my experience it needs to be a very pale pink. I've not found one out of the pot that is pale enough yet so I use a white + dash of scarlet undercoat.

This was Tamiya pink primer which is designed to go under red.  It's the colour of calamine lotion.

Sorry, but, I've an inclination to drag things off topic lately. Calamine lotion has to be one of the last vestiges of 'snake-oil.' I remember as a child being ate up with mosquito and chigger bites from being outside and at times I'd be slathered up with this crap. I don't recall it ever helping aside from making you not want to disturb the pinkish plaster of paris drying on your arm.

But, man.. what a glorious color!

With you on the lotion B.  It never seemed to help much with the itching.  All psychosomatic if you ask me.

I have found, just yesterday, a pot of flesh colour paint lying around. Tried this under yellow. Seems to work.

In my experience (and in my family for that matter) flesh is rarely pink.  Unless it's been own the sun for too long.
However I do have some Vallejo Pale Flesh acrylic paint which looks a bit like dried calamine lotion which I may try under yellow.

I'm not sure about flesh colour ?? I just use white with a few dashes of scarlet well mixed in.

Well, the one I had, forgotten in a drawer, was a northern-hemisphere-white-anglo-saxon-protestant-flesh colour 
It looked appropriate as undercoatfor yellow. 

[zenrat]

I have one similar to which you describe as well (sort of pale beige - although there is more yellow in northern-hemisphere-white-anglo-saxon-protestant-flesh colour than people would think* ).
For general Australian skin colour I use Tamiya wooden deck tan which I then adjust by adding hints of other colours which depend on what racial origin I decide the figure in question has,

*Not a racial comment, just an observation on paint colour.
