 Most of mine already look like that. I believe this is the MAAM P-61. Quite a story on the recovery and restoration. I have a Kindle book on my IPad that tells this story. If I can remember, I'll post the title later, when I'm upstairs.

Paint and invasion stripes look great! You will get the flaps sorted I have no doubt

Coat of tinted Future to start the grunge and give a base for the bazillion decals. The grey looks blueish in the pictures but it is not.  |

TC, the OD and Neutral Gray are looking much better now with your grunge wash on.

I really liked the colour of it since it does indeed react really well to the wash. It is what I think of when the term "olive drab" is used for aircraft even though the term actually refers to a whole range of tones. |

All sealed up and ready for next stage weathering. Does anybody know where the exhaust came out on these things? I really can't find a decent picture and there are no obvious ports. Is it from under the cowl flaps?  |

Looking at photos, it looks like the exhaust stacks were hidden under the cowl flaps around the cowling   Oh that bottom picture helps a pile! Was pretty sure they were in there on top but had no clues where underneath. |

Yeah, I have some potato quality photos in my references that I went off of. Including a couple of those same ones. So I went over the top of the wings and some on the side of the nacelles in that pattern. Of course, I weathered mine lightly so it was more of a recently painted bird. I only have that same photo from the bottom but you can sort of see it on the side in this last one. I looked at dozens of pictures and never saw any of these! The staining goes way further aft than I would have thought. |

Most of mine already look like that. I believe this is the MAAM P-61. Quite a story on the recovery and restoration. I have a Kindle book on my IPad that tells this story. If I can remember, I'll post the title later, when I'm upstairs.
