My wife always tells me "if you drink water along with that booze, you won't have a hangover"!!!!!!!!!!!
I find Stoley the best for a Russian. In Oz a black russian is half as much Kahluwa as Stoley and a can of Coke! Still a killer.
I tried something different for the panel lines using a pencil. I'm not 100% satisfied with it though, the lines look somewhat shinny. I'm hoping that the dullcoat tones this down some. I also painted the prop shafts bare aluminum portion and will assemble it tonight.
Don't forget to use a clean rubber to go over the lines a portion at a time and carefully, once you run a gloss coat over the lines and flat coat it they will lose the metalic shine.
Thanks Lewis. That paint is Testor's Model Master Russian Underside Blue. I think the green background made it look gray in the picture. The pictures in post #143 will show you a better representation of the color.
Nice work Glenn and that blue looks ok to me, it could well be the same as I've just sprayed on the Lavochkin, I used a Vallejo Model Air colour similar to RLM 65 which is as close as I could get to VVS AMT7.
RLM 65 is close, but the Russian blue is a little 'blue-er" maybe a little closer to RLM 78, but as you can see they're all pretty close.
I assembled the prop last night and will be putting on the gloss coat from a fresh bottle of Future.
