What blue did you use for the Argentinian colours?

Hi there

French Blue is a good option, the color is called "celeste" in Spanish, which is a word associated to coelus, coeli, sky. (think "celestial"). That is, the color of the day sky.

I used Humbrol gloss 48, another good option.

I was born in Argentina and in my life there I have seen any possible variation of "celeste" in flags, cockades, and the like, so don't over-concern too much about that.

I seriously doubt that Manuel Belgrano, the local school textbook hero who "created" the flag, had a Pantone chart at hand in the XIX century 😉

Cheers

Muchas gracias por ese estímulo, estimado señor! Voy a utilizar la color mencionado en mis proximas aventuras modelisticas.

We do but being aware of Geth‘s (intriguing  and educating) career example, especially regarding the lessons on unwanted consequences they are thankfully quite „reluctant sorcerers“. Tuition for the academy is high anyway so no danger of wizard inondation....

Most of us are quite content with their attitude though some careless souls occasionally grumble about „shouldn’t be too hard to make us some nicer weather“ .... be careful what you wish for and look at the pole caps....😳

You‘re a man after my heart, dear Moa! ( Can‘t express it properly in Spanish, lamento mucho).

No I‘ll go and listen to some life Joan Baez (guess the record) or Gloria Estefán (Mi Tierra) to warm my heart.

 Decals soon on that corrugated surface...

Hi Stuart

I am afraid this one (and the Anson, and the Aero Commander, all at decaling stage) will be in stasis for a while.

Duty calls, and I will not be able to work on the model, not even in the HP42, for a time.

Some of the decals are on the mail coming my way from Arctic Decals, some are still in production stage, and for the Junkers I already have done the images, but may do the decals myself (mostly regular black lettering) or airbrush the regs, but if the former I still have to buy  a printer since mine kaputed.

In any case, I have to upload another in-progress build (if only dysfunctional, glitchy and super-slow Flickr would work, for a change) and then to hiatus.

Cheers

Yes. I've become somewhat addicted to your building excellence. I'll be jonesing heavily until your return.

As I am dealing now with the assembly of engines, wheels and its ancillaries, it's worth to note that there are some vagaries and sequence conundrums in both areas, plus the usual instructions-induced head-scratching. Too long to explain and detail here, but you are warned, pay attention, and also check the fit before committing.
