Mark SherwoodLooking good. Kudos on the rivet job, one piece of kit I don't have at the moment.

JohnThanks Mark and Thomas. For an old kit, this one is quite nice. It's also nice to be able to build it so quickly due to its simplicity.

Spanjaardnice job so far.
unfortunately you are right about rossie the riveted. but I have seem what seems to be a copy of it....

JohnThanks Neil and Spanjaard. Have the base/chipping coat on, now on to the doodle coat... The copies of the rivet tool are fine, not like they're that sophisticated, but anything is better than the abomination from Trumpter they sell as a "rivet tool!"

Thomas Bischoffgood idea to paint the markings and not use the decals 👍
is the Hasegawa instruction sheet recommending RLM71? This is wrong - should be the darker green RLM70.
… I have two Emils with the wrong green - lol

JohnThomas, yes! I was looking at some other kits (Tamiya and Wingsy) last night for their box art and noticed they both listed RLM70 for the main color. Even the Hasegawa box cover shows a darker green, so someone at Hasegawa in charge of research made a mistake and I was too trusting.
I don't want to go back and repaint, so we will just guess that this machine was on a rare Swiss deployment to North Africa and the paint has faded. 😄

Thomas Bischofflike this explanation - can contribute two builds to prove your claim, lol
