Or is it just standard sand finish? it is just the standard finish - with one exception, it appears that the area for the 14 on the left side was freshly repainted before the numeral were applied. The thing that i liked about the solid finish was the chance to work on producing that "sunbleached" look to the upper surfaces. Interesting............... With darker colours, ya just lighten up a tad, and it's done. BUT with lighter colours, like the sand, I reckon it would be a little harder to lighten without making it look 'chalky' I have never tried on a lighter colour, too scared of stuffing the whole finish to be honest

When this engine gets here, probably late next week (onya Aussie Post), if it looks like to much of a chore to fit, I'll send it to ya I have a kinda strange feeling that it suits the ICM kit more than the Hase, seeing as CMK's other stuff is made for the ICM kit. Tweety Mate i think the only problem you would have are the 2 parts that make up the intake under the engine, that big chunk of plastic that the intake sticks on to will have to be completely removed........Does the resin engine come with the mounts

Y'Know "Marsielle" flew a G in the desert as well as an F, both carried the yellow 14........ Thanks for the info, I saw the canopy differences about two hours after i had shot the paint onto it. Oh well, guess that it will have to be the G then. Just didnt want to model the last type of 109 that he flew. Although how many times do you see a display that reads " This is the aircraft that finally got the better of Marsielle"!!
