My plan is to do it as Chuck Yeager's "Glamorous Glenn III" to go alongside my Dragon Bell X-1

Considering it's meant to be an old kit - surprisingly it has engraved panel lines.

First job of painting once it had been primed was to do the yellow/red chequered nose. Gone for the impressionist effect rather than try and mask it out.

Vallejo Aluminium airbrushed over Citadel Codex Grey primer - Detail Painting in Tamiya or Vallejo.

One query I do have is with regards to the anti glare panel in front of the cockpit - The reference I'm looking at shows it as black but I keep seeing everything else painted up as Olive Drab.

Please correct me now before I commit a colour Faux Pas :)

Lovely work so far.

Could realistically be either, but the prevailing opinion of the photo-interpreters seems to come down on the olive drab side.

Thorfinn - Thanks for that - I've changed it to OD now.

Bit more progress as well.

Prop and canopy still need glueing on and then I think that's as far as I can take it without having 1/144 scale serial numbers to hand.
