It's looking great! I did the same one. Came out ok but the decals silvered so badly and nothing I did fixed them.

Paint on!! Started with lighter shade of green (FS34258) for the camouflage. I will go back again with another light coat to touch up spots I may have missed. Paint used is Pollyscale War Pac Grey Green FS34258. I compared it with Floquil Railroad Color Weyerhauser Green (FS 34258 but that one is much lighter shade of green than Pollyscale shade. I matched the color to the guide of real pics of actual aircraft. Pollyscale was a perfect match.

Did I ever mention that Pollyscale acrylics is AWESOME paint? :yipee: Didn't need to thin it. Airbrushed straight out of the bottle and went on smooth. :yahoo: :dancing: :yahoo: :dancing:

Very nice! It's too bad that Pollyscale and now Model Master have gone away. They were the best acrylics in my opinion.

I agree. Even Testors Model Master arcylics don't need thinning for airbrushing. I'm finding out this just now.

I’m going out on a limb here. Does anyone have a spare pair of R.550 Magic missiles and a pair of 530 D or Super 530 missiles in 1/48 scale?

I think I might but it would be a couple of weeks before I could check.
