Hi everyone,

to make the Etendard IVP:

I need help about the colors choice for camouflage,
I plan to use:

for the Celomar 6346-2204 either The Gunze H-305 (Gray FS36118) or the Tamiya XF-53 (Neutral Grey)
for the Celomar 6346-2274 the Gunze H-337 (Grayish Blue FS35237

What do you think?

To start, as usual, a quick look inside the box:

anda quite surprising shape of that fuselage.

Isn’t it a pity to make such nice engine and then hide it completely :frowning:
