Cory, Vintage Wings of Canada's Mustang is a pretty good go-by for your colours:

 

[Catch22]

Yes it does, thanks for the nice pics Andy, I assume they're yours? I took a walkaround of pics when I went to VWoC, so I'll have to find them.

 

[Crimea_River]

Yes, I took these at the Hamilton Airshow last June. These are the colours Terry mentioned.

Good stuff Andy. The colours are OK, but not sure about that camouflage pattern - it should be the standard AM scheme fro day fighters (in matt paint of course).

 

[Catch22]

Terry, according to photos in the link in the first post, it's correct. The one I'm doing is painted in the same pattern.

Coming along great Corey!

OK Cory, just didn't look like the 'normal' camouflage pattern.

 

[Catch22]

No, I agree.

Thanks Hugh.

 

[Catch22]

I haven't updated in decades but I've still puttered around a bit and just never uploaded anything! I'm basically at the "Canadian's Point" of this model where I have to wait until it warms up so I can paint it.

7 degrees C 3 hours south of you now

Good stuff Cory. It's not as cold here as in Canada, although minus 12 is cold enough for the UK. Got similar painting problems - the paint on my SE5 is still tacky !

 

[Catch22]

It's actually only like -5 at the coldest here right now but it's just cold enough that the paint doesn't come out nicely so I can't really paint properly. I can't complain though, as this winter has been easily the best in years.

 

[Wurger]

Well done Cory. Keep the nice work up.

 

[Gnomey]

Coming along nicely Cory!

 

[Catch22]

Thanks!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looks good Cory, can't say I envy you the cold though.

 

[Wayne Little]

Doing great there Cory, pity about the weather conditions....just keep plugging away getting everything ready for painting...

 

[T Bolt]

Looking great Cory! Maybe you'll get a break in the weather and be able to paint. It was 45F here in Chicago yesterday which is unheard of for February.

 

[Catch22]

Thanks guys. Yeah Glenn it's been oddly warm here too this year but not consistently, so it makes it difficult to plan/set everything up, plus I don't have a huge light window.
