Some fellows have stated that old Humbrols behave better than recent batches...
I am not going to comment on this, but I can definitely say that your 30yo white seems to have done the job, my friend @airbum!

Paint looks great, Erik (@airbum). I haven't used Humbrol since I was a kid. I'm not sure I could remember how to pop the lids off the tinlets anymore. :o)

Farbton 04, round one

The wait was not as long as anticipated

It was sufficiently dry for yellow Farbton 04 today

Will I be ready as well – anyones guess is as good as mine, but after the second round it will need to harden for masking before Farbton 76 on the belly

Thank you my friend. As you know, I usually modify the 109's to have clear nav-lights, and I am kind of looking forward to see if these are easy to install, tiny as they are. Time will tell Spiros (@fiveten)

04 masked, ready for 76!

After round two the yellow looked just right

And masking were added in preparation for the week-end

now, the job had some quite unusual challenges, and the CAA closed down “my” airport because we discovered that some trees had grown too high on a neighbouring lot. The last few days being spent in meetings and stuff, but it all seems to take a turn in the right direction tomorrow. The owner of the trees is very cooperative, and I think we are back in full business after the weekend. Now we have to see where the lockdown is going, and then it is all back to normal time to make models - yipee

Well Spiros, happily I am forbidden to work 7 days a week, so the weekend was not really in trouble. Today we re-opened and the weather is sunny! The plan is now clear for the 76 to be airbrushed!

Gents, the colors continues in a minute @fiveten and @JohnB. @gblair, the lights are still some time away, but will get there. I will be looking forward to try some factory ones as opposed to my homegrown ones.
