Oh my gods: the front landing gear is really some nitty-gritty work!
New colour on - the different shade can be compared between the body and the nose.
New colour on (but it will be painted over again); Parts that needs to keep the green colour is masked with tape or Maskol
First layers of white (had a few spills from the cup)

Jørgen KjThank you Robert; still need a bit of tidying up on the paint job to make it sharp. I hope it will end up quite nice once finished, the last masks are removed and the decals are placed. One set of decals I can't fit on this one as I need to make them first and my printer is in storage.

Album info
It is often seen that planes get special tail art - and sometimes the entire plane is under a paint job.
In June 1986 this happened to a Saab RF-35 Draken which were painted in like a red and white Dannebrog - The Danish flag and introduced to the public after the Danish national football team won an epic 6-1 victory over Uruguay during the world cup in Mexico.
