SMS hyperchrome sealer and hyperchrome dark tone.

Airfix B17G Little Patches
One of three B17’s from Airfix that have crossed my bench, will build some more as there are so many schemes out there. Main colour was Xtracolor faded Olive drab, modulated with white and brown to try and get a variety of tones. Aftermarket decals.- Farmerboy

Airfix 1/72 Mosquito PR XVl
Moving on, all up together and painting and decaling on the go, will decide about weathering when that’s completed and she’s had a varnish, love Airfix decals, thin, glossy and conform really well.- Farmerboy
