Hi Michael,

 

That has to be the MOST Accurate modelling rendition of this particular "Spliced Scheme", I have ever seen!!!

Well done :yes::yes::yes::D

 

One comment I will make as an FYI, the main under carriage wheel wells would either Glossy Sea Blue or Insignia White,

as the forward section (when as a whole airframe) was a re-paint over the US 3 or 4 Tone scheme, before issue to an operational squadron

 

Thanks  for sharing your build with us - you have made my Day!! Especially since this is our ANZAC Day (Similar to Veterans/Memorial Day),

where we remember our Australian and New Zealand Service Men and Women who served our respective countries in conflict.

 

Thanks/regards

 

Alan

Thanks Alan for your feedback. I am very pleased that the presentation of my model coincided with such a significant date.

Best regards.

Michael.

Wow! I have this kit on my stash and I’m not sure if I should start it but yours is really inspiring. Can I ask you what varnish did you use on the finishing? The level of reflection on the surface looks really convincing. Congrarulations!
