Doing great Karl.

Cheers Andy.
Though i have noticed i painted the full length aileron thingys upside down, ie, RLM 65 on the upper surfaces and RLM71 on the lower !

That sounds like an easy mistake to make but not hard to fix.

I knew you'd been at the sherry of Staropramen !
Should be easy to rectify though.

That's some good masking Karl. I notice the upper colours don't have as much contrast as I've seen on other builds, yours being more true I think

Dont know if you guys can see the difference in shades.

Contrast still looks good.
Not sure about the latest interpretations of the colours, by most model paint manufacturers though - they seem a bit 'off' to me.
I got a couple of different brands of RLM 70 and RLM71 recently, and compared to the original Xtracolor paints, and others I've used (which seem to match original colours well), they booth seemed rather grey in tinge, especially the RLM 70.

Vallejo RLM 70 is labelled bronze green, RLM 71 is olive grey ?
