So I spent a bit of time on the G.55 again.
I managed to get the colours sorted, as well as apply clear gloss on the areas where the decals go. So then I I obviously had to put the decals on, right?
The next step was a coat of matt clear to seal everything.
I then followed the clear with a coat of brown panel liner over the entire upper surface, and grey panel liner on the lower surface.
I also did a bit of pre-weathering on the prop blades, but kept it fairly limited, as this was a relatively new machine.
Next up, a little more wear on the prop, exhaust staining and oil stains, finish off the landing gear and a final coat of matt clear.

I'll only be able to post pictures tomorrow (my laptop's playing up), but I'm done with her.
As you'll see from the pictures, I I decided not to go with the white band after all, but she looks good enough to pass muster.
Not my best work, but I'm happy. She's as good as she'll get. The next one'll be better.

Thanks for the heads up. Make sure you post the required 6 poses before your laptop craps out altogether.

Turned out very nice. We need a mainstream kit maker to step up
