Olive drab over neutral gray, or natural metal finish?

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.

Does Santa use FS or RAL colors? Surprise

Did you match the colors to paint chips in the Official Monogram Santa's North Pole Color Guide? Stick out tongue

Philo: looks like you used RLM colors.....did you use red lead or red oxide primer? BTW, nice white wash.

I suggest setting your router at a shallow setting and plow some panel lines. A nice med grey wash on the lines will add some depth. How many gallons of Alclad will that project take if you decide to go NMF? Propeller

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

For the instrument panel, will you be using the kit one with the decal, or are you going aftermarket? Big Smile

He could dry brush the details Hmm

That usually works well on the old Monogram kits. Big Smile

The nose profile isn't right. Was this made by the ChiComs? The manufacturer should have asked me for my help since I know a guy who dated the sister who cut the hair for the mailman of the actual elf who worked on the original.
