The colour scheme isn't working out as I can't prove it's accuracy as every CS drawing for any machine of this unit seems to show different patterns and colours. There isn't time to repaint even if I knew what should be applied to it so this will be a DNF.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

I didn't paint the nose before I attached it to the fuselage Steve- I painted it as part of the fuselage before attaching the wings so that the engine cowlings wouldn't get in the way of the paint brush.

Sorry David, my misunderstanding.

A great shame that we won't see this completed. It was turning into a thing of real, and, around these parts, unique beauty.

Regards,

Steve
