Dragon Bf 110 1/32: Hidden treasure, the Tiger turned out to be a Dragonfly!

[Zack]

I was hoping to get back to the "Sd.Kfz 181 Tiger 1 SUPERTHREAD" and was checking my stash when...
 

 

The old lady turned out to be something completely different - a Wasp
 

 

I am actually very happy about the transformation of the faded old lady!
Must have flipped the box in order to get something more sturdy then the Revell offering...

Good Scotch has played me tricks before

 

Now - anyone out there who can offer advice on this Dragon origin Revell rebox?

Instructions suggest "light olive matt" for the interiors, what would that be for the box art depicted aircraft (1942).

Your advice and any sort of suggestions here would be very much appreciated!

 

Summer Greetings, stay sane and happy modelling!

Zack - 'light olive matt' is most likely RLM02, which was the typical early war colour for Luftwaffe interiors...

At a guess  "light olive matt" probably refers to RLM 02.

Thank you @Werdna, @Tail-Dragon :
RLM 02 it will be
Not sure how to mix that (using Tamiya acrylics) but someone suggested:
RLM 02:- XF22:1 + XF49:1.

I will give it a go.

Think I am in way over my head with this one 😐

With regards

I remember getting one of these in to review, and was amazed by the sheer size of the box!   I cut it down to about a third of the size after I'd finished with it, so I can see why it got shuffled into that old Tiger box

How many times did you shake the box to get a wasp from a tiger?!😵
