Ahoy
The updates for today is the painting of the upper surfaces. From my understanding the new mitchells the J model they were shipped to the united kingdom in all olive drab and nuetral gray. They remaind in that color schedule the roundels were added and the faded out Red squadron codes were added as well no invasion stripes I was hopeing that the j models were painted in dark RAF green with Dark Earth nuetral gray and invasion stripes like the picture I posted earlier in the group build thread. I would lijke to thank Terry for the info on this without his help the paint schedule would be incorect pretty but not acurate. On the update I painted the olive drab color gave 3 coats of olive drab over the nuetral gray. I mixed thye olive drab myself useing fedral standard color chips the olive drab is right on the money. Here is the update for the night more tomorrow.
