Merci. Heading back to PG for a few days so rushed to get something posted = not great photos. PRU on; I mixed Tamiya XF-18, Medium Blue and XF-2 White. 3/2. Close enough for me and the colour chip from the webs. In real life, the colour is in between the two pics

​

Not happy with the seams, hence the putty at the front. Not happy with the fact that I will have to try and match a paint mix so I'll make enough to lightly cover the entire bottom again. Shouldn't be to bad as there is only two colours

Liking it.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks all. Seams done and repainted. I made sure I had enough paint to go lightly over the entire underside to lessen any contrast. In real time, the model is closer to the chip, the overhead light washing out the colour a bit

Thanks all. Top colour on, Tamiya XF-83, Medium Sea Grey. Quite stoked that there was no bleed under or lifting as I didn't feel like doing a mix again. Canopy just posing

​

I'll let this cure and then gloss coat tomorrow
