Outstanding work Claude. I did this one a few months ago and liked it so much I'll be doing another shortly. Thanks for sharing...

Outstanding work ! The meander camo is spot on.

I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

This is the kind of paint work I want to be able to do someday.... just subtle enough but with obvious skill to make it look very realistic. Great job!

Thanks. I started by painting the fuselage overall with rlm 65 Hellblau. I then masked off the top and painted the lower surfaces with floquil grimy black.Did irregular splotches with rlm 75 Grey violet. Hit it with testors glosscoat for the decals. then topped it with glosscoat and did a wash with vallejo acrylics smoke. When that dried, sealed it with another gloss then testors dullcoat. Canopies were dipped in Future floor finish and then masked with Bare metal Foil. cheers. Claude

Thanks. I was intimidated by the camo. I really should have painted it dark grey overall and then done the meander scheme in the lighter color, but my meandering skills are less than perfect. Happily surprised at the finish.

cheers
