Thank you all for the great feedback. Bevan I look forward to seeing your next work. Ophthoidoug, great questions my mixes are mixed lighter then the colours i am trying to copy. My washes at the end blend these colours they also darken them. Wash mix 1 sludge mix black, brown pastel various shades. Wash mix 2 enamel black/brown (humbrol) pin wash, the 2 mix is also blended with brush down the side (darker to lighter to the tail) I blend with white spirit very lightly. Holts grey primer (auto spray paint) very smooth finish. Good plastic preparation before I spray. RLM 74 mix tamiya acyclic = XF-22 + XF-1 /approximately 80:1 this mix is the Base mix, XF-63 added to lighten if required. RLM 75 mix tamiya acyclic = XF-19 + XF-1 approximately 80:1,now I add my violet mix which is tamiya XF-7 & XF-8 =1drop. RLM 76 mix tamiya acyclic =XF-2 x1 jar + X5 between 5 and 8 drops (looks peppermint green when mixed) again Base mix, I will add XF-63 to darken if required. All mixes are tweaked very slightly either darker or lighter. Once mixed I use Mr. Color LEVELING THINNER 50/50 approx. All washes are applied after I have airbrushed humbrol Clear gloss varnish The satin is Humbrol spray can. I am still tweaking these but these are getting very close to what I am after. Hope this helps you. Darren -
I know that feeling, you may find painting it this way gives you different opinions. Looking forward to rlm 75.

Looking very good Cees very neat, I have started mine. I have removed the wheel bulges upper wings! -

Great start, a favourite of mine watching

Well done plastic to wood, magical.

Amazing work, it's coming together very impressively.

Wow that wood effect is spot on. I have tried two methods to simulate wood 1st was a mix I came up with, this was tried by a couple of guys on this site. But didn't work out for them so this has been shelved. The second was a garden fence treatment, very much like a coloured varnish used similar techniques to you,great if you're looking for a quick affect. But your finish looks so convincing great job,love the map.

Hi all a quick update. Had a problem with the cockpit dashboard screen, cut away area as instructed and replacement part was just not big enough ie. Width. So I made one to replace it. Screen demister pipe work added, flap indicators added, inboard cartridge and clip ejector detail added and have started paint and markings. Here goes.... -
