Well I'm done with the painting with no further glitches. Decal time along with a ton of teeny tiny stencils and a glass of single malt, and my readers !

Good stuff Graham. Love the tail mottling.

RLM 73 was one of the colours used for maritime aircraft. Model looks great.

Yes, I do my Maritime 72/73 but I see a lot of people use the 70/71 scheme which I believe is wrong.

 

[Bustedwing]

Good stuff Graham. Love the tail mottling.

I over sprayed it with a light coat of a 50/50 mix of RLM 76 and flat clear. Never tried it before but it worked to soften the mottle a bit.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far!

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice job man.....

 

[Bustedwing]

It's looking like I won't get this finished in time. Touch and go at this point.

GB extension is possible ................

 

[Vic Balshaw]

An extension option has been put forward by Wayne so it is out there if you want it.

 

[Wayne Little]

Extension activated....!

 

[Bustedwing]

Well the extension period sure helps !The missile or rocket racks. I spent some time figuring out the best way to paint them. I thought about cutting some very thin strips of tape to mask between the rockets but it was too hard to cut strips thin enough. Then I decided to wrap thread around them in between. Pretty simple and worked not too bad !

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Good thinking.
