    MB339s are a very cool plane, Allan (@kalamazoo). There are a lot of cool paint schemes available. When I was flying C-141s, I saw them several times when I was flying through Italy.

    some more grey and a touch of white to go under the decals, I don't trust white decals over dark colours !

    Good move to apply some white, my friend @kalamazoo!

    Good idea, Allan @kalamazoo
    White in decals is indeed in most cases troublesome.

    some tape on to cover the bits I don't want blue and a coat of Humbrol 15 enamel, it dried quite well but I'll leave it for a while to harden before sanding the edges.
