I know how you feel about stepping one step back having to scrub the paint again. It's good to work on something else while waiting for the paint you need. That way you at least feel like you're making some progress somewhere.

looks like I need to clean up the grey wash a bit more on the rear section.
Thanks for looking in!

Is this your profile or similar?

Color reference

I am catching up, so I was curious about the camo, Clint. The dark green appears to be used as a non-glare section in front of the windshield in some cases - not the experimental versions. So. Which profile is yours?

Thank you everyone! That was the try with Vallejo model air. That paint has been scrubbed and will be ordering AK Real Color Friday after I get paid. I didn't like it so third time's a charm right? Took three stabs on my Storch and three on this one.

Thanks for them photos Bruce! I'm trying to depict white 1 at Leck. White 3 on that profile looks the closest.

Thank you so much, Clint. I appreciate the clarification. The squared edge is going to be removed? I marked this with an arrow. Forgive my ignorance, Clint. I am trying to understand the hard edges here.
