I ordered the paint last night. I've never tried Vallejo paint but have heard good things about it, so... got dark earth, middlestone and intermediate blue. I asked my wife and a good friend, separately, to look at two sets of color profiles, one in the grey, green, grey, and the other in the Med/Africa, and then look at the B/W photos of MH660. Without hesitation, and with no hints from me, they both chose, ...
Well, you get the idea.
And... as long as I had the nice girl from Squadron on the phone, I got a couple of kits for some future GB's.
A Revell/Monogram F-8 Crusader to go with the Hasi F6F I already have for the Carrier GB,
A Testors R3C-2 Curtiss racer, (extensive scratching coming up!) to go with the Arii K5y Willow for the Between the Wars one.
And because I am a glutton for punishment I decided to get the Lindberg F-94C, a kit that I had as a kid, and try to scratch in the entire thing. As some of you will remember, this was one of those really early kits that were basically hollow inside. No wheel wells, no engine, no cockpit, I think it just has a couple of sink marked pilot figures molded to the seats.
Not for a GB, but apparently because I'm insane.
Anyways, back to the Spit,
I cut away a little too much and had to shim a little on the port wing fairing, and the wing to fuselage needed a bit of sprue.
Chin needs work.
