Probably right, but the solid dark blue overall kind of threw me. Many that I see have the grayish underbelly if cut and pasting?Nice one Ralph. I think the "76" is a copy/paste error from another scheme.

And here she is? When I've noyhing better to do I'll try znd find this kit in the Eduard collection
Yes. A battle of who has the truest/bluest finish. Other than that, if you are building Eduard, all you have to do is put all the parts in a bag, sprinkle in some glue, and wallah...a perfect build! Yeah, right.This was the first choice I had, but I thought I changed the model so go vary more models
let's go ralph!!!!
Yes, thanks. I had already bookmarked these for reference. Great builds to peek at as I progress, especially the pit.Built 2 Eduard Hellcats and the kits do build very easily.

Andy - thought it was going to be easy picking up the correct colors, using Mr Color Aquious acrylic, but no local shops carry. So I can either substitute for something else or pay more for shipping than the paint is! What brand and colors did you use for the blue and interior? Maybe you mixed? I have a ton of Tamiya and Vallejo to grab and mix if necessary.Built 2 Eduard Hellcats and the kits do build very easily.

I did, but quickly. I'll go back and see if there are any search hits on paints. Just getting frustrated, like Don, on having huge collections of paints and nothing to use. Don't mind buying additional, just (my fault) don't realize that after reviewing the instructions, the ones already here are not close and yet another mail order (1 week +) is needed for delivery. I guess that's why I really like the Luftwaffe builds; plenty of RLM XXs in stock and there is usually no surprises kit to kit.Ralph, I assume you looked through my thread. If I didn't say it there then I will need to go back and see if I made any notes on it. I'll get back to you later today.
Seems that you did. And darn it you had to do a bit of alchemy to get what you wanted!Ralph, I assume you looked through my thread. If I didn't say it there then I will need to go back and see if I made any notes on it. I'll get back to you later today.
Just built in another delay in getting this started though.
