Thanks FightinJoe

I just love that particular blue-grey Navy color especially a little faded like you have it on the model.

Even on those 1940 era color photos that color comes through and it is cool looking.

Thanks for sharing.

Before I had read what you had wrote on this Forum. Rustoleum has a spray can with a color that came really close.

We have 3 of those kits in plastic bags I bought when Monogram/Revell was just a few miles from our home.

So we painted one with the Rustoleum Spray can which I nick named "cheater painting" to help get Joey on his way to finish his school project. It really worked out fine, we sanded the dust off with 1200 grit sand paper and used oil paint washes and the kids at school as well as his teacher thought it was a "cool job". He did get an "A" on his History project!!! So now we are taking our time with this new one and will use the colors you suggested.

Thanks for all the help!!

You are all very kind.  Thank you.

 

Session seven is in the books.  Almost there.

 

This session was all about prepping for the finish.  The gear for the aircraft being on land is on.  Other little bits and pieces are on.

 

 

Next up is the final push.  

 

The final update will be the finished build.

Well the Kingfisher is finished. 

 

About the kit.  Not really a bad kit.  Went together ok.  I will say construction would be much easier with the main float cut away from the fuselage.  This would allow a less awkward situation for both the construction and seam work.  The decals were a bit thick but they went down fine.  

 

All in all I am happy with the paint work.  It has a used but not abused type of look.

 

Pictures.
