It might be a hair dark BUT I do like the effect it gives off. Maybe another coat of orange to tone it down a hair. Other than that i like it!

I agree. A tricky color. Needs more color coat. Having fun, though! Finally about to paint this bird!

Annnd it’s the last of 48 hours of Crazy Make ‘Em Ups on this project. TGIF.

Two parts Dragon to two parts Cooper-scratch, throw in one chopped up slice of eraser and viola:

I splashed some graphite on the eraser slice. Tomorrow before work I hope to primer this all in gray. See how that looks.

My favorite W.I.P. (Work in Progress) photo so far:

Thanks, gents! I am basing the location and seat firewall details off of this particular photo. I still have to add the yellow-black grab handle and seatbelts if I want to add the most important secondary details. The photo may be low-res but this clearly shows seat position, clearance and the bombsight as well. I am not sure how much work I will fit in before Monday but a few days away ought to be useful for perspective.
