Thank you all for your comments !

Some more progress to report....

Revell acrylic Dunklegrun applied by brush in about 3 light coats. The yellow is brush painted Humbol 24. All will need a bit of a rub down before brushing on Humbrol Clear prior to decalling.

Everything going well so far.

Cheers

Good work so far!

Brushed yellow paint can be a horror show but you've pulled it off brilliantly. Very nice.

Yellow with a brush ? That's kind of like drinking orange juice right after you brush your teeth unpleasant ! Nice job on it though !

Thanks Folks!

Thin multiple coats seems to work, most of the time for acrylics.

Nice and I like the Romanian markings.

Great job with the brush

Jock Tamson · Mar 20, 2020

Thank you all for your interest.

More progress......

Im still painting the tail band before applying the Donald Duck emblem between the 64 and the band. The model will receive a matt varnish once all the decalling is complete. The rudder national colours are painted on as the decals are a bit inflexible and brittle.

All going well i shouldn't be too much longer with this one.

Cheers

Looks great Greg. A very colourful bird indeed. I think painted stripes always look better than decals anyway.

fubar57 · Mar 20, 2020

Agreed. Just starting to paint the stripey sections myself after years of struggling with decals

Donivanp · Mar 20, 2020

As with all very colorful and looking great!

Airframes · Mar 20, 2020

Agree with all - very nice, and good to see an different colour scheme.

Gnomey · Mar 20, 2020

Hello again!

Apologies for the delay, i have finished this one given that i have been sent home from work as part of the UK lockdown.

A nice easy build and i think it looks like an Me 109, so RESULT!

Thanks for looking,

Cheers, Greg
