That sounds good do you have an image?

Brews wrote:No image on that. Not certain that there was one. However, this is a relatively pretty one - and in time for the Bodenplatte anniversary, too.

Thanks Brews, I will go for the Unit: 14./JG 26 Serial: 1+~ (W.Nr.210003) Pilot - Oblt.Hans Dortenmann (38 victories). Germany 1945 with the yellow tail and under nose.

I gave it a coat of light blue last night so it's time to get some green and grey on tonight.

Do you think my grey is to light?

Cheers more mauve it is then.

Brews wrote:It's not especially light, but it is unsufficiently mauve for RLM 75 that's in-spec, and fresh. If you are weathering your model, the contrast is a little stark. However, I have a scheme for a Dora with RLM 76 on the upperworks ... and that contrast is very stark.

I have added more mauve and a bit of a darker grey which I think looks better, it's now had a coat of Klear and ready for the decals.

Decals on and set, followed by a spot of oil paint or should I say lots of spots of oil paint.

Followed by a matt coat.

You got a winner going there, Splash.

Very nice paint work.
