By the way
Which one’s pink?

I got the paint on it. Desert tan above and neutral gray below. I can see why they called it pink - it looks more pink than it does in this photo.

Hmmm. I don’t think I’ll be finishing in time even for the extension. Gloss it today, decals tomorrow, gloss and flat Friday? I don’t think I have that much free time…

#me to,… i had a little accident with the nose strut and as it’s,… “lost” (in to the carpet monster i guess) anyway it will have to be a rebuilt, i’m not going to make it. The medal is awesome!!

Top decals on. Two stars needed on bottom wing. Kitsworld … nice decals. Will need a little cutting of clear over gaps in tail and a little setting solution to snuggle them down. I’ll keep posting here until i finish but not tonight.

You can do it Phil!

Looking great. What pink did you use for it? Just wondering because I picked up the recent Airfix B-25 with the desert colours and the pink is an awkward one to find. Was thinking of Vallejo’s US Pink.

I used MRP 243 US desert sand. In the pic with the decals on the model, the pink comes out more, at least on my screen.

Odd how a paint color can be motivating but I’m thinking again about LRDG vehicles…

Hmmm. Despite initial enthusiasm, looks like we only had 3 finishers. Let me know if I missed you.
