Nice work on the rigging prep. Looks awesome with almost everything in place!

Edo this is exceptionall good. The pulseometer and extra pipework, together with the turnbuckles in the cockpit take this to a level of modelling which can only come from a master modeller. It may not be easy but you make it look as though it is.

Hi edo wich colors will you use for the camouflage?
I used  gunze H340 Field green et de gunze H75 darks sea grey for green, and  gunze H406 chocolat brown.
For light blue it is all free, no one knows the blue it was... (no pics, no paints, no fabric piece)

hi Xan!
i usually mix my own colours, so I am never realistic, but more on the artistic licence side...
i use tamyia acrilics, in this case i used flat earth + 30% black and nato green + 50% white. don’t count much on that proportions even...  ;D
i’ll try to post some pictures later....
ciao

Hi all! it has been a while, but now I can show you some progress...
I was distracted by another project, so little progress on this one, indeed it was stalled since I wanted to take some picture before finish...
ok here they are, I hope you'll enjoy!

I didn’t see that for a while. What a shame, it is simply amazing! I love the colors you mixed as I love the weathering.
Best regards
