Brilliant, thanks Troy

Having nearly completed my Airfix Gruman Wildcat, I decided to drag the Martlet out of the stash, when comparing thd instructions I noticed the Wildcat suggest U.S. gull gray for the insides of the engine bay and undercarriage legs ( makes sense). But in the Martlet they suggest RAF sky to match the undersides. My question is why would they change the interior colour on the production line fir British supplies ? Would they not just change exterior colours ? Many thanks in advance Phil

This why I'm asking if anyone can confirm it for this particular airframe

Airfix makes no mention in the painting scheme or on the box art, on a Facebook group I asked the same question and came up with 2 saying yes and 2 saying no

Sorry for digging an old thread up, but did you confirm that this aircraft had the yellow leading edges ? I'm building the same aircraft and have been given mixed information. Many thanks Phil

Sorry Mike, due to a relationship breakdown, I haven't done any modelling since that post. Phil

1/72 vc-10 ? 1/72 Airbus voyager? 1/72 C-17 ? Phil

Surely it would be 2009 ? Phil

Was just about to say that I'm having the same problem, but sounds like you've got it in hand Mike. Phil

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments guys, I'm really not worthy 🤔 Phil

Done, thanks again @Col. Phil

If you mix the paint well and have a good tin 2 or 3 should do the trick. Phil

Wow, I'm really blown away by everyone's comments. Thanks guys. To answer John's question, I use a new size 2 brush and apply really thin coats working in opposite directions. I mix the paint to within an inch of its life and try not to overload the brush. The paint is basic Humbrol 11. Phil

Pah a beer mat ? When I was a kid l had to do my modelling on the back of a postage stamp, at the same time a my 4 brothers. I'll get my coat.😄🧥 Phil

Thanks, my modelling space consists of a table in front of the telly. So all my painting is done with a brush. Phil

Or sell it to some poor sap on eBay 😉 Phil

Hurry up and get it built, as soon as you post the RFI airfix will announce a new tooling. Phil

Built this for the Hawker Siddley GB. Thought I should post it here too. Hawker Tempest F5 3Sqn RAF Wunsdorf Germany 1947-48. Academy kit with Airfix rockets and Freightdog decals. Painted with Humbrol enamels and hairy stick. All comments much appreciated. Phil

Odd shaped nose section if memory serves. Phil

Third vote for Revell. Phil

Everything you do seems to attract a crowd 😎 Phil

Now for a bit of colour Phil

Second coat on Phil

Good to see this beauty, was hoping that airfix would bring out a new tool of this to go along with the Blenhiems and Whitleys. Phil
