@fiveten few yea ago I used Humbrol, but I think quality of this brand fall down.

To be honest, my Humbrols are a few years old, I haven't used their latest batches, @lis...

Spiros, @fiveten
The Fiat is already looking very good, and you are just getting started with painting it. It will only get better from here.

Thanks my friend @lgardner!

Brown and green added...

Camo lines are very interesting: they are straight, "splinter" type at most places, being more "curvy" (but, still, hard-edged) at the rear part!
Onto the Italian Sand soon!
Cheers EoJ GB!

This is coming together nicely!

@fiveten Did you use IJA Green paint?
Spiros Pendedekas said 2 years, 11 months ago:

Thanks my friend @jmillan!
The green is Humbrol 149, my friend @lis!
Here is the Cicogna after Hu63 (for the Italian Sand) application:

Cheers, Great EoJ GB!

First painting round finished

I removed the masks and gave all surfaces a protective coat of Future.
Now the corective respray/touchup session is to come.
Top paints dried to the rough side, so very light polishing sanding will beforehand take place.
Cheers, EoJ GB!

I painted the cowling lips red, here they are:

Thanks for stopping by!

Progressing well, Spiros. I like the Italian 3 tone scheme on bombers a lot.
Spiros Pendedekas said 2 years, 10 months ago:

Thanks my friend @j-healy!
Decalling hopefully today!
Spiros Pendedekas said 2 years, 10 months ago:

Decals on

Just six decals, Mr Mark Softer taking care of them...
They make nice cotrast to the camo, don't they?
Next some touching up.
Cheers, EoJ GB!

Entering final construction...
1. Supporting struts
I attached the fin supporting struts, which have an aerofoil profile and are nicely rendered from this increasingly pleasantly surprising kit. Attachment took some fiddling around, that's the price one has to pay when he decides to attach them at later stages (like here), so they would not interfere with painting!
In the meantime, general touching up is in process...
Cheers, Great EoJ GB!

@fiveten very cool and such a different scheme (and plane) than we are used to.
