Guillaume BlanchetGreat! This will be my 3rd Mustang. I like to put them next to each other look at the design evolution.

Guillaume BlanchetThanks Villiers! I't's been over a month since I have airbrushed. Feels good to be back at it!

AndreasKLooks good. Are these decals or did you spray the markings and stripes?
I guess you will weather and blend everything, but I am somehow fascinated by the bright yellow on olive. Fits very well. 👍🏻

Guillaume BlanchetThanks AndreasK.
I made the stripes with the airbrush and the rest are decals. I usually spray my yellow first and mask it while I apply the rest of the paintjob. If done the other way around, unless you mask the WHOLE plane, you end up with some yellow overspray on your camouflage. Yellow being a very "contrasty" color, it makes it's overspray quit visible.
The next step will be the weathering.

AndreasKIn that case, the colour fit of the stripes to the yellow decals is super. What colours exactly did you use für the yellow and the red nose?
