Alllllll righty then. I decided to go with the rattle can, Tamiya TS-83 for the metal finish and some dark OD for the top. I know it looks a bit bright but I am figuring after weathering it will have some sort of a "used" but not used up look to it.

the spitfire prop is there just because...

After a week of not doing anything I decided to apply some decals. Have some problems with the transparency of the stars over the invasion stripes but hey, this is almost done and you really cant tell, right?

I´d ask Tamiya for another decals sheet. Or a buddy that doesn´t need the stars. Place a second set of stars on top of the already applied ones and the transparency problem should be gone.

beautiful job, as usual, Paul. Very nice.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
