Looking very good Tom! Was the Oxidized Aluminum in the Polly Scale railroad colors line? I don’t remember that color in their military colors line up.

Yes sir. I am getting a bit low on it but I’ve been experimenting with various Tamiya colors to achieve the Oxidized Aluminum shade. I’ve started with flat aluminum mixing with some black and grey. Just haven’t found the right combination yet. I might try a darker grey (German Grey), maybe NATO black instead of flat black. Aluminum mix with gunmetal? The possibilities are endless.

Bare metal.silver is on!

Olive drab on cowling and propeller done!

Very nice! the OD looks super smooth.

Thanks, Stuart. I used Gunze H78 Olive Drab 2 (semi gloss). The semigloss shine will.go away once clear dullcoat goes on after decals.

Very nice work on the paint!

Your spinner came out great Tom, Did you paint that stripe or is it a decal?

Be careful with those rubber coated clamps. Those will very often chemically interact with the styrene, especially if they are from the dollar store!

Most excellent paint work!
