Re: Martin R's Schwalbe
Great cammo job. It even hides the shape pretty well against the cutting mat. Sweet build.

Re: Martin R's Schwalbe
Thanks, chaps.
Gave it a few coats of klear and got most of the decals on last night. Took a glamour shot, but having difficulty posting at the moment.
Going to finish the decalling and get the canopy on tonight.

Re: Martin R's Schwalbe
Tricky pattern to get consistent across the airframe. Well done Martin.

Ooops, if I look to long at that camo pattern, I start to feel like Mowgli from the Jungle Book, getting hypnotized by the snake!
that looks impressive!

Re: Martin R's Schwalbe
I went cross-eyed looking at it, I hate to think what would happen if I tried to paint it - excellent work !

Re: Martin R's Schwalbe
That's great camo work - Really impressive.
Re: Martin R's Schwalbe
Well tidy colour scheme.
Re: Martin R's Schwalbe
I thought that the contrast between the camo colours and the '76 was just a bit stark,so I've applied a filter coat of thinned '76. Tonight, a dark brown wash will be liberally applied. Then, its onto the small and breakable pieces. Oh, and I need to find 2 bomb racks: sob its to the stash for me!
