What a fun, quick little build. This kit also came with a staff car that I think I’ll build next.

Nice job! I like the camo a lot - looks like a fun scheme to paint. Sure is a pretty airplane.

Really fantastic and quick build!! A nice looking aircraft in a great camo scheme. I really like how this turned out!

All around good job like the weathering and panel lines

Thanks! I was going for a little dirtied up look but nothing too much because in June 1940, this would still be a pretty much brand new aircraft.

Looks great. The French camo was really cool

Awesome camo work on this! You added a perfect amount of weathering

Nice finish on this! What paint brand and colors did you use for the camouflage scheme?

Thanks! I use Tamiya Acrylics. As for colors, I’m not at my desk so I don’t know the exact numbers, but I used:

Bottom: light gray (can’t remember the exact name)
Top: sky gray with Black Green & Flat Brown.

The only weathering I did on this one was apply Tamiya Black Panel Accent liberally to all crevices, let dry, then I went over the whole model with Tamiya enamel thinner to clean up excess and give it skit a touch of a dirty look. I fished off by using Tamiya Soot on the gun ports going back on both the top and bottom of the wings.

I missed this one when you posted it kilo. That camo scheme looks GREAT right along with the subtle weathering. Can't go wrong with Tammy paints.

Thanks. I’m off work between now and Jan 2 so I hope to finish one more kit in 2023. I have the Tamiya 1:48 scale Nashorn laid out on my desk that I’ll probably start tonight. I

I'll be watching for that one!!!

I like it, it sure is fun when things go smoothly. Not happening for me right now, but then both kits I have underway were probably made in the late 70's.
