Thanks for the kind words.

Using the word "Speedy" to describe my builds!!

(you should see my KUTA pile!!)

 

Colours I used:

Underside = Humbrol 147

Brown

Testors Model Master Dark Tan FS 30219 and RAF Trainer Yellow (gloss)

Ratio  = 6 (tan) : (1) yellow

 

Blue

Tamiya (both) XF- 17 Sea Blue and XF-24 Dark Grey

Ratio = 6 (blue) : 1 (grey)

 

I actually (tried) to follow this article on HS

In the article David used a 5:1 ratio. But, I miscalculated and used 6:1

 

I like the way the two upper camo colours turned out. They look better in person than through the lens of my cell phone.

I'll try to get a better pic once I'm done.

What's that you've got stuffed in the nose and looks like it's your handle tool?

It looks like a wall plug that you use for screwing into plaster board.  Handy idea.

Some people were asking about the wall plug in the nose of the mustang. Here's some pic on how I use it with the stand I made for holding my projects. So far, I've only worked with 72 scale subjects.

I use a drill bit to turn the plane, as shown in the pic. It's not my idea, I did read about it somewhere in the internet. (Sorry I'm unable to give a reference to where I go this idea from.)

Share some of your ideas on how you hold your subject for paint and handling. (I guess you would have to post it somewhere else, since this is the GB forum.)

 

Enjoy.

Feed back is always welcomed.

I always thought they were called rawl plugs 😚

That’s the word I was trying to think of!  Anyway several brands/types are available and they go into walls. 👍
