AK Real Colors for both colors… the interior is their APC Interior Green… aka Sea Foam Green… very close to RAF Sky

Thanks Kari. I think that it properly looks the part. :hmm:

Thanks Stuart. I’m working on the interior detail colors now. Gonna take a few sessions to finish that stuff up before I can get it all assembled.

Since my last update I’ve made progress on this project

I went thru my decals and found spares that would work as placards inside the cab. They are not accurate but the do give a decent rough approximation of that part of the interior

Image

Image

Image

I also did detail painting on the fire control panel according to reference photos and added some decals to represent the gauges on the instrument panel, and completed detail painting on the overhead fixtures

Image

Image

I also painted up the radio boxes and other stuff on the cab rear wall, but without knowing what the actual gear looks like it was only a best guess scenario

Image

Next I got the cab exterior sidewalls assembled… I left the top and dash area off so I can install the armored windshield glass

Image

and I tinted the clear acetate that will be the armored glass with Tamiya Clear Green

Image

Next I built the engine box area and some other sub assemblies and test fitted them onto the chassis

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The next stage is to start construction of the launcher unit assembly… stay tuned for that…

Correct… Tamiya Clear Green airbrushed onto the clear acetate
