Slywolff Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Hi there After seeing Grumman Martlet AL426 at the FAA Museum in Yeovilton I tried to get hold of the AZ kit but at that time it was out of production, so I posted on Hyperscale in the Wants section for this kit for trade, an American modeller kindly sent me his kit minus one aircraft decal set, at no cost which was hugely generous! I have painted and added markings for a Grumman aircraft as painted, I mixed the light green using Humbrol paints. It is a kit that needs some attention and work to make it presentable. AL426 A mass of photos of AL426 collected for the build. I mixed these two Humbrol tins to get the light green.

georgeusa Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Lovely little Wildcat in British livery. I have always wanted to get around to doing a Martlet as portrayed in the CAF version a few years back. Yours looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Very well done! I don't think I've seen that color combination in the camo finish a great deal. Always good to see something a little different. 👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 That has come up looking really good, it is a difficult colour call to get right & yours looks the piece to me. What colour did you use for the darker shade? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
