Looks like maybe photo 2 should come before photo 1? Hm, looks like all the four photos ought to be shuffled to make better sense.

I like the organization for painting. Det er en god idé! I am planning on doing a RDAF Super Sabre in 1/72. Not sure how to do the severe weathering and the dis-colourization on the rear fuselage. Decals from Stoppel?

Thanks @Treehugger..I can see this...I am new here so I was at first not aware of that there is an option to shuffle pics in correct order but I have done this now -🙂

Thanks @Gordon - It´s my way of keeping track of i all - I am not sure yet on how to do the dis-colourization and heavy weathering to the rear fuselage but I have some ideas but I need to test them first - I have previously done some testing on my SAAB J-35 Draken and I am not quite satisfied yet

Lars Stigaard
And yes - Decals will be from Stoppel

I hope so Maciej - I just that i can create patched up and correct weatherizing paint a long with the dis-colourization at the rear fuselage - but I have found some great reference pictures from other kit builder that I will test from
