Black Knight Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Not quite an oob Oddly, HobbyBoss only supply RAF and Finish decals with this kit. I used Carpena decals, which needed some Liquid Decal Film coated on them. I added a paper instrument panel as well 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Nicely done, one of HBs better ones from what I've read. I confess to having a couple in stock plus some Carpena decals, also some LDF, very necessary item in my toolbox. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi, this 406 looks rather good. I assume the cockpit is rather basic? Well done! One remark on the paints you used. The kaki is off the mark, and this seems to be the most difficult color for a lot of people. Humbrol 159 is an excellent substitute. Try it next time! Cheers JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulfman Hi Wulfman, apologies, as kaki is the French terminology for the "green" in the 2WW French aircraft camo. Once a Frog, always a Frog!
