Bill GilmanVery nice job, Lionel! May I ask which paints you used for the FAA scheme? Thanks. Nice masking on the clear parts, especially the turret, that's a tough one.

Lionel MarcoOf course you can ask... I wil even answer! 😉
So I used (in the Humbrol range)
for the slate grey, H102, and H117 for the post shading
for the Extra dark sea grey, H125,
and finally H90 for the sky.
For masking the clear parts, I used thes Montex masks: I don't think I could manage to mask the turret otherwise.
Thanks
Lionel
