alt-92 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Tamiya has two RAF Dark Green versions in the XF series. One in the 60s range, and one in the 80s. It's the latter you'd want, it matches up quite well with samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with you, btw. Just an observation. Rgds Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Looking very nice in what is, a very smart scheme and great to see it with the decals on now. The colour of the roundels look ok to me in the photos. I thought they didn't want to be to bright anyway with insignia red and blue being a bit dull in tone. Nice spinner back plate too. One step towards your first full scratch build maybe? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike romeo Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Prop / spinner unit and sticky-out bits are painted: And got a coat of klear on the main assembly, which has sealed the decals. Hopefully, I can get this finished in the next week or so and restart progress on the F-86. Rgds Martin 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike romeo Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 And here is the latest progress. I got the walkways masked and painted, put a wash into the panel lines, and sprayed a coat of matt varnish. Here's the underside: Tomorrow I'll try to get the undercarriage leg assemblies together and stuck on. Rgds Martin 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike romeo Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Latest status: The canopy has had a nice bath in klear, and I'll start the framing tonight, and add some weathering. Rgds Martin 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
