Sorry about the trouble, but from here the colouring looks amazing!
Thanks Jonathan..!
Problems fixed.. paint touch up applied and stickers on! The gunze GX gloss was great. polished it back and applied the barracuda decals, which were fantastic but there does appear to be an error in the instructions..? To cut a long story short I had to use the tamiya fuselage roundels.. sigh
Weathering in progress. Fairly simple - quick and easy approach - an oil filter (payne's grey, dark brown mix) which of course also gives you a nice panel wash.

Some photos from the bench below..
All comments welcome.. Tim

Absolutely superb. Total respect!!

Thanks All!! Dave.. Paul, I'll try the mr color gx clear (which is readily available in HK). Stay tuned!
Checkpoint... slow going but progress still...
White theatre markings are applied (gunze flat white) and minor disaster - in my haste I foolishly did not adequately mask the upper wing surfaces. More touch ups required!
Also for some reason on this build I've had lots of issues with paint lifting up with the (tamiya) masking tape... again - more touch ups required. Perhaps I didn't clean/prepare the surfaces properly. More lessons in not rushing!!
Here's how it currently looks (ipad pics)
All comments welcome. Now... time to fix these issues..

hahaha.. ! Jonathan - you really must get one.. or two. it is the most beautiful kit I've built by a country mile.Well now that I think about it...none!
I'm nearly there Dave... just gotta apply the white theatre markings and gloss coat... speaking of which I'm not sure what I'll use for the gloss.. i've been using future lately but it's been cracking... ?That's looking awesome! I can't wait for you to stick on those stickers!

Excellent build John. Gorgeous Mustang. I really want to build this kit soon... not sure whether to tackle the ZM kit first.

I like the tonal variation. Cant wait for the top colours. Nothing like a good Aussie Spitty cheers Bevan.
Thanks Bevan..! Hopefully I do it justice.
A public holiday in HK today and the opportunity for some bench time.
Top colours applied - Mr Color 330 (Dark Green) and for Ocean Gray - Mr Color 331 60% / white 40% ish.
Gray coat was also post-shaded with a lightened base colour. Dark Green - not yet.
Camo demarcation was airbrushed freehand. There a few spots I'll touch up - mainly on the starboard side.Also the top fuselage seam has popped up - will take care of that shortly. WIP on the bottom pic.Next stage - more post shading, tidy up, leading edge stripes on the wings, tail unit, overpainting the standard roundel locations, etc. Lots to do on this scheme...All comments, criticism and feedback is welcome.Cheers,Tim- 1

Painting in progress. I'll be using Mr. Color - my favourite - great results and sprays beautifully. Matching the colours may be an issue - although this scheme starts with the standard dark green & and ocean gray over medium seagray - Let's see.
Starting with a rough pre-shade..
Followed by Mr Color C335 Medium Seagray , and post-shading with a lightened C335 (mixed with flat white).It does seem to be a little too dark... thoughts?All comments, criticism and feedback is welcome.
Cheers,
Tim

Wow I can't believe it's 11 months since I started this build! Only one month remaining for the Pacific War GB. Time to finish this off.
I'll attach all the cowling and get ready for painting.. (as others have pointed out.. the cowling fit is not spectacular and a bit fiddly.. one of the compromises of having detachable cowls, I suppose_
