Hi! Hope you you don't mind if I barge in and ask a few questions. What color was the inside of the radiators on mc202 painted in? Where did the camocolor and ''radiatorcolor'' meet?

Hi Voidses, no probs, poke your head in whenever you like. Also post finished pics here if you like. As for the questions.The insides of the radiators, they would have been either interior green (Same as the cockpit) or they would have been left airframe ally colour, the choice is yours fella. As for the demarcation between the two, as long as you can make out the inside colour, its not important. Remeber these things were painted in the field. They may have been masked off but i doubt it. The radiator faces themselves, i do by painting them mat blk to start and then a large portion of dry brushing silver.

As for the freebie plane that you got Roy, much as id love to say it was me....it wasnt. You can pretend it was me and worship me more than normal, but hey thats your choice.

...Guy

Every time I look at the kit and the paint scheme I want to do a get a BIG grin on my face.  This is the coolest thing to happen in awhile.  Since Sean set me something

As for colors, I plan to use Model Master enamels; Italian Sand #2110, Italian Dark Brown #2111, Italian Olive Green #2112 and Italian Blue Gray #2113.  I read that RAF inter. green is a good match for the inside?

So what does the experts have to say?  I'll get the paints ordered today.  The boss gave me the go ahead

Thanks for the welcome Guy & guys. The postmark is from Cheshire, UK.  If it's not you, then perhaps it was ordered via evilbay using my address as the shipping address Whoever you are, thank you so very much for this kit.

I bet it was this guy ....

Welcome aboard Roy

Guy according to Roy the return addy is from the UK. If you are not the generious fellow who supllied him with the kit then who is? Unless Aaron first sent it to you and then had it fowarded it Roy. Looks like we have a good old fasion mystery on our hands. Either way it worked out great for Roy.

Welcome aboard Roy. As for your Secret Santa? The only forum santa that i know, goes by the name Sarge (And a few others LOL) Chesck te post mark. If its texas, then Macneals your man.

A few GB rules before we start.

1. Any problems with the GB, we all know who to blame, DAVE!!

2. Dont think your getting off without an introductory video. (Nor you Charles and Frank)

3. No moaning if i take for ever to update pge 1, (See rule 1.)

4  No getting Aaron Sectioned! Its a swine trying to persude them he's sane.

Woo hoo, have fun and post lots of stuff. Modelling stuff as well.

...Guy

Roy I have his addy. If you PM me the one on the box I can tell you if Guy is the mystery postman. He has been known to use all forms of pursuation and abuse to keep us all in line and building Reggia Aeronautica aircraft. I would not be surprised if it was him.

                                                                                      Soulcrusher

 Wow I'd forgotten about that one. Very color schemes you don't see that often Roy!  It will be a great addition too this GB !  Are you going to do one of the Aircraft in the pictures?

 Will from England? Hmmm sounds like Guy is punishing the tardy with more homework! Better be on your P's and Q's!

Great to have you with there Captain!

Roy there is only one Limey in this GB and his name is definetly not Will unless he used an alias. The Host Guy is the only UK member in this GB and I am sure he would have no problem with you building such a cool entry here. I am sureyou will get the official nod from him when he wakes up in the morning. That is a really cool subject. Now I have to go see if I can find one too!

Hi guys  There's some great looking builds in this GB.  I was planning on joining the build doing a S.M. 81

But my boss said (wife) told me that I had enough kits.  So I decided not to join you guys

Well today the postman gave me a package  I'm thinking I didn't order anything what is this.  The return address is from someone named Will in the United Kingdom.  I have no idea who this person is or what's in the box.  I open the box and what do I find

I have read through the whole GB and I can find no one named Will from the UK.  So who are you?  Whoever you are I'm so thankfull for this gift. 

Now that I have the kit can I play with you guys?

Hi Fellas,

We'd appreciate it if you removed the "fantasy" pics. They're walking a tightrope line over the Forum's Rules & Regulations, and they've generated some complaints from fellow Forum members. 

Thanks for taking care of this.

Kelly, FSM
