My booth measures 29"L x 20"H x 16"W with an opening of 19" x 16". This is plenty big enough for all of my 1:48 builds though my B-17, -24, -29 and AC-130 may be a bit of a challenge. My bedroom is directly above my model room and the missus says she can't hear a thing when I run my booth and air compressor

I sure wish you had acrylic paint as you have one of the greatest selections for all WW2 airforces

This site recommends Tamiya XF-65 "Field Grey" for LSG https://www.ipmsstockholm.se/home/urbans-color-reference-charts-part-i/urbans-colour-reference-charts-united-kingdom/

Agree about the lap-belts. I flew in a Beechcraft Model 18 into a fire-camp, just the lap-belts. I have photos of the aircraft and want to model it one day

Interesting and you have a willing follower as my next project will be a Hasegawa 1:48 B6N2. With regards to exposed primer, I have read and author/modeller Tom Cleaver confirmed while working on a restoration that that gawd awful "salmon" red primer was still in use on some parts up to, if I recall, the -5 or -7

Beautiful

Great looking aircraft

4+ has a book called "Vickers-Supermarine Spitfire F Mk. 22/24". Only 32 pages long but lots of walkaround shots photos and profiles http://www.4pluspublications.com/en/publications/27-vickers-supermarine-spitfire-f-mk2224

Might be the weight of the rockets plus the guy in the first pic looks like he's leaning forward a bit. The guy facing forward in the second pic also looks a lot taller than those around him

Very nice

Looks very nice. Any aircraft with extra wings gives me the willies

Looks good so far Dean. George

Nicely done

Great job on the weathering

Fantastic

Lovely, woof woof

Agree with all

Great looking aircraft with some nice weathering. One in the stash to be done as an RCAF B&W Checkerboard. I may have to do that scheme as well one day George

If you are handy with wood tools or have a friend that is, why not build one yourself. eBay, oddly enough, has squirrel cage fans. These have external motors(or should have) which keep away from the potentially explosive fumes of lacquer/enamel paint. Having said that, when was the last/first time you heard about a hobby spray booth blowing up. I think the magic number for air exhaust is anything over 400cfm. You can also add lighting to suit your needs. Mine came from a papermill I used to work at and was used to dry pulp samples. The exhaust is so great that I could inflate the Hindenburg in about 45 seconds. I don't exhaust outside as I use acrylics. I've wired a spare pillow-case over the exhaust to catch paint over spray. (if the wife ever looks in...I did not wire a spare pillow-case over the exhaust to catch paint over spray) I still used a respirator though. https://www.ebay.ca/b/Squirrel-Cage-Fan/53297/bn_55192917

Looks good despite the decals. Have you pricked the offending areas with a needle or sharp tip of a hobby knife and applied more decal solution. It's worked for me even with a clear coat

Agree with Steve about the filter and it could also be a combination of filter/film as different films had an effect on colours as well. I also notice a colour difference around the turret

Very nice

Great job on this kit. I gave up after the last of my exhausts pinged into the ether
