**** DONE: GB-57 1/48 RAF P-51B - WW2 Foreign Service

[Donivanp]

Do you mean a separate thread in the Painting Questions, Tutorials and Guidebooks section?

Yes that would work, some place where it's more accessible for future projects and folks not watching this thread, two or three gb's down the road someone wants to try it and can't remember where it was at…..

 

[Wurger]

Wait .. processing ...

 

[Wurger]

Done.

Looking great. But why the Dark Green/Dark Earth on tops? IMHO it should be the The Ocean Grey/Dark Green and the Medium Sea Grey on undersides. The yellow could be at the bottom as well. But I bet the MSG though.

Me thinks I have made big mistake! Irreparable.

I agree with Wojtek regarding the colours and, although possible, it's unlikely that the underside would be yellow.
It's very probable that the colour scheme was the "standard" pattern of the period - Dark Green, Ocean grey and Medium Sea Grey.

With Terry.

Irreparable ... why? Just mask the green camo spots and apply the Ocean Grey coat over the Dark Earth.

I been experiencing LBS and with that comes the shakes and a little anxiety. So I'm going to take a deep breath, calm my old self and see if I can in fact, repaint. Trouble is I couldn't sleep last night and put the decals down. Wasted the serial, damn.
Or maybe, I dunno. Be lucky if this works.

 

[Wurger]

If you haven't sealed the decals yet you could unstick them with warm water.

But I did!!!!!!! Arrrŕrrr.
I'm going to repaint the lot.
It may be the zombie finish build.

 

[Wurger]

I hope not. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and the model.

I really don't know the reason for the Low Blood Sugar levels. But it does only happen to diabetics!

Well the the real work begins. The Medium Sea Grey is applied to the underside.
I just put blue tac in the wheel wells to hold the gear doors on and the tops of the flaps stuck on tap.
I will mask the bottom and paint the Ocean Grey next. I'll work the decals out!!!!!

 

[Donivanp]

Nice

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looks good Bill. What's your plan with the decals!

 

[N4521U]

Looks good Bill. What's your plan with the decals!

I have no idea.

• Not eating enough carbs for how much insulin you take.
• Timing of when you take your insulin.

• Drinking alcohol.
• How much fat, protein, and fiber are in your meal.
• Hot and humid weather.
• Unexpected changes in your schedule.
• Spending time at a high altitude.

It could be the light trick at your workshop but the MSG looks too greenish. It looks like the Sky S type rather . IMHO the MSG should be the FS 36270 aproximately.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I was wondering about the colour as well and I think it could be the light. I'm assuming its an SMS paint which would look something like this:

I could be wrong though.

 

[Wurger]

No Vic, you are correct. That's the colour.
