Not a big fan of the sea scheme but it worked out well. I used Humrol 90 sky, Hu 224 grey and hunbrol slate with alclad matt clearcoat

I'm just the opposite...I really like the FAA 'colours,' and you've done a gorgeous job! Those modern Airfix kits look superb.

Yes Well done! Yes

Thanx, As an airframe teck working with fabric mostly I have always loved Hurri

The temperate sea scheme is not "ugly" but the difference between the grey/slate is very slight and from a few feet away it all blends into one color

Fantastic Build!! Haven't built any of the newer Airfix kits as of yet even though I have several. Have heard nothing but good reviews. Doug
