Thanks Ron, I'm happy with it so far,once I settle into a session on the camo time just flies!!
Cheers Rick,the "theraputin" has come to an end......
Hi Tim,thanks for that,and yes,I hope so!!
Cheers John,good to see you look in,
Rach says"hi" to you both too,(as do I of course!!).
Thanks Geoff, yep, I've got away with it so far!
Hi Ian, thanks very much
Cheers Paul, it sure is an unusual looking pattern eh?
....too late Ron!!:tears-of-joy:......
Well then Chaps, I've got to the point where enough is enough,and I have decided to stop tweaking the camo,or "fiddlin" as Ron put it ,(all the while,as I was looking at it and thinking,"that bit there needs a touch up",or, " I'll just fill that in a bit more",I could sense him sat behind me,tutting, and shaking his head!! )
So here's the finished article,now coated in gloss varnish, awaiting decals.......
Can't see them there,but I've also painted up the nose cannon and two forward facing mgs on the mid canopy..... also,the rear gunner's mg
Finally for this update,the Pilot,done using "The Smythe method",as apposed to the "Marlow method", it's quite similar to his.... just nowhere near as good !! :tears-of-joy:
... until this evening then.....
Thanks as always for looking in,any thoughts,hints or tips much appreciated :smiling3:

Forgot to say....
A big THANK YOU to Ian M and Allen Dewire for their help on suggestions for applying the MIG Kawasaki Green with a brush,cheers guys :thumb2:....
I practiced with mixing it with water,mixing it with Mig Thinners,and just straight from the pot.... strangely enough,(to me, anyway), the best result was by far, straight from the pot :smiling3:
I've put some "smoke" behind the exhaust ports and done the props too....
The yellow strips are actually decals.... in hindsight, it'd have been a lot less hassle to have painted them on !!

Very nice work indeed Andy.
The "Smythe" Method"??? What the H*ll is that? :tears-of-joy: Looks the Bomb Smiffy.....in fact, if I don't squint when I look at that camo, it sorta makes me a little dizzy and disoriented.....well, more than usual anyway. I think you have a winner here so get them decals on and show us what it's sposed to look like.:thumb2:

.... and the Decal spree has begun..
As you can see,they come as several parts, mainly background,and others to add on top!!....
Then a disaster happened..
... therefore, some repair work was required!! Then,I put some "Top Decals" in place...
More to do of course,and a little tidying,but we're nearing the end now mefinks

Mr Smiff,
Please stand up and take a bow mate that is looking the nuts.

Cheers Scottie, very nice of you to say so.
Thanks very much Joe :thumb2:

Well, I'm calling it "finished" now,
Had enough fiddling with it!!
... Don't think I'll ever brush paint a plane again, although I must admit that I've been very impressed with this Mig Ammo set :thumb2:
A couple of pics here,and then I'll get some in the "completed" section.Just did a bit of weathering and a Florey wash,to show a bit of usage,but not loads...
... I'll put up a more detailed post tomorrow in the completed section.
Thanks to ALL who have taken the time to post,comment,or just look in, it's much appreciated
