    Used colors as close as I could get. Lower surface painted light gray (Vallejo 71.050).


    For the upper surface ocean gray (Vallejo 71.273) is used.

    Next the nose section and tail will get painted.

    Nice paint work John, Once you get the halves buttoned up and assemble the intake and lower section of the forward fuselage. It assembles rather quickly. Almost decal time.

    @uscusn, thank you, Chuck. Indeed, assembly is done quite quickly. The kit itself does also not contain that much parts.

    Applied the third grey color, the front upper fuselage, sides between wings and horizontal stabilizers, and the tail.

    Tried to give the upper side some worn effect by applying a lighter shade color here and there.
    Difficult to make it good visible on a photo.
