    Thanks John and Spiros, --------
    A coat of MM 15102, a not bad match I think, needs some touching up around the windows and door and a small repair.

    Thanks my friends Spiros and John, the blue did survive mostly, ----------

    I said the blue was 35102, now corrected to 15102 and you didn't notice how shiny it is !

    The exhaust black area looks great, my friend @kalamazoo! The blue is shiny, no worries about "1" and "3" coding, nevertheless the final coat can take care of everything? 🙂

    This is looking really good, Allan. I just had a friend from Russia tell me he flew in Aeroflot Mi-8s a few times as a kid.

    Really nice paintwork, Allan @kalamazoo
    To me the blue looks shiny enough, and as said by Spiros @fiveten, the final coat will boost it.
