(a quick google for zenithal priming) Ooh, that's interesting. So grey with white for the highlights perhaps? Black sounds a little scary?

What colour would you prime this?

Hey, thanks for the replies. Let me check out these resources. Ta muchly.

Anyone that has purchased one drive can share a folder of images, or a single image. it's something you forget if you subscribe.

I found this great guide to LRDG vehicle colour schemes. LRDG Colour Schemes Can anyone match the colours to an available model colour? The problem will be matching the actual colour to an actual paint rather than just the name. Colours mentioned are; Canadian Sand Red Clay Light Sand Middle Stone Desert Pink Rose Pink (mauve) Olive Light Brown Azure Portland Stone Light Olive Pink Medium Olive Purple Light Green Light Brown Middle Stone. Has anyone been through this process before? Many thanks.

I think I may have nicked the idea from someone who did it much better on this site.

Thank for all the positive replies 🙂 Did someone say NAAFI wagon? Airfix 1/72 Ambulance scratch conversion. "Well, did you get one?"

Thanks. Just noticed I need to add the nav lamps and green cockpit glass.

Calling the B25 camera ship done also. Certainly tested my masking and spraying skills.

What would be the best kit for a Mosquito Prototype Conversion. My understand that engines, tail, slats and canopy are the biggest issues.

"Tally Ho red leader, down there on the left, Proctukas?" My film mash up between a NOVA Percival Procter and a Revell Stuka. Lots of filler, sanding, wet n dry and brasso. Cockpit is part Stuka, part scratch. Prop modified Airfix Kate. Everything else is scratch or from the spares box. Time to pop it in the photo booth. "Yes Stanmore I confirm bit IFFy"

To be honest I don't have the skill or desire to weather it for fear of ruining it. So I will model as she may have looked straight out of the paint hangar. There must have been a time when she looked pristine. I've no idea how old those pictures of the faded aircraft are. I guess she was sitting in the Spanish sun for quite a while.

Managed to get some paint down on the B25. Not perfect but I think it looks okay. Need to put some gloss down for decals and then I think a semi gloss would look nice. Going to try Mig Lucky Varnish because with varnishes I need it.

Because of it's twin seat configuration at least one Buchon twin seater was painted in RAF colours and used as a camera ship. I believe this may be the one now at Lashenden.

"Yes I confirm Stanmore, no IFF". I decided to convert a Percival Proctor into a film Stuka to make a Proctuka. I was going to convert the aircraft using plasticard but decided to use parts from an actual Stuka kit. I added the tail, elevators, some elements of the canopy frame and canopy. Wing roots and spatted wheels from the (Revell old tool) Stuka to the (even older NOVO) Proctor. I think it passes as the film aircraft? I've no idea how I'm going to make the canopy yet. I also fashioned a single bladed prop from a previous Airfix Kate build where I didn't use the prop. It's passable as a Proctor hub and prop. After sanding with Wet and Dry wetted with Brasso (you should definitely try this) in grades from 1200 to 3000 (and a primer coat of Mr Surfacer 1000 primer) it looks like this. I don't think it looks too shabby? The B25 got a Tamiyer Laquer Silver primer coat to highlight any issues. Again quite pleased with the finish. This aircraft will test my masking skills as it has about 6 colours. "Easier than shooting rats in a barrel"
