Hi again
It's encouraging to get a bit of basic painting done after so long:
I've used Alclad Mil-Spec paints. The Interior Grey-Green comes out a tad richer and darker than my RAF Museum paint chip, but it's one of those colours that is notorious because there was so much variety in the original paints. By the time it's weathered a bit, it should look fun - ditto, the black with some highlighting to bring things to life.
All the best
Rowan

Looks like a very good start and I'm sure you glad to be back at the workbench. I see you've gone for the resin seat and I think I prefer them with the seatbelts cast in place. It seems to me to be easier to pick out the details than try and get the aftermarket belts, though they look great, to sit quite right.

Looking very nice Rowan, how did you find the Alclad paints performed through the airbrush?
