Looking excellent Andy. Well impressed…..

[Code no 10]

Almost there. The P70 needs some more touch ups but I think the next set of pics will be in the "Completed aircraft" section.

Dark colors are hard on models, but this is exceptional impressive work!

Andy,

That's coming on beautifully!!! I'm about to do black undersides for the first time on my 109s, so have been following this with interest.

ATB.

Thank you for the nice comments, Andrew.
I hope you will avoid my mistakes; maybe a light primer base would work better than red or black, for instance and a bit more of courage to spray more lighter black tones especially on upper wings and fuselage would have allowed a better natural effect.

Tim, Hong thank you for your encouraging comments.
It was my first trial with an "all black" (and hope I'll never have a live experience with one of those announcing their performance with the Haka :tongue-out3: ).
I'm rather satisfied, but I think next time I'll be more daring in trying more shades.
