I appreciate every ones kind comments. I primed and laid down some RLM 75. I know that it looks kind of hit or miss but there is a method to my insanity, as soon as I figure it out I will let you know.

I guess Ill be working the props and spinners next then the lg. I have yet to decide what the under sides will sport Black or the 76 which would go well in either case. The black hides a lot of my mistakes so that may be the choice.

Half-black is the way to go...

Very cool....I look forward to the finished product.
Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley

It has been a while since I have done anything to this bird. I got some mm RLM 76 and after about 1 1/2 hours of making tiny blue tak rat turds and putting them all over the wing it was time to go for broke.
I do have mixed feelings about the result but all in all I guess its OK. I use the MM 76 and it seems a bit too bright with quite a bit of a white tinge to it. but I think I can get it toned down some with some blue mist type of spray gone lightly over it.

yes, Jim it is. I am wondering now if it is due to the RLM 75 being too dark. Who knows? All I know is I am going to finish it up with this and tone it down as much as I can. I was thinking a misting of duck egg blue may help.
