I'd suggest adding just a hint of red to that to give the German colour, which had a slight red/gold hue to it.


Cheers

Thanks for the tip Steve.

Think of a fresh free range egg yolk. (Chicken not duck, duck egg yolks are way to orange.... :P  )

All that comments done Ian is make me hungry 


this is what I've painted it, is it close enough ?

Looking good the yellow seems to have covered well how many coats did it take

Wow Ian mate, this is coming along fast, looking forward to another fantastic build from you. 

[Ian M]

Now I feel bad. I forgot that you are doing the British captured 109. Then the Trainer Yellow would have been fine. It is only the German RLM yellow that needs to be richer....
Still It looks like it will be fine.

Looks good Ian, whatever you added it looks appropriate

[Guest]

Nice work with the yellow, will certainly stand out.


Cheers.

I gave it 5 coats in all. The first coat Wasn't covering too well as it was thinned for the yellow and red mix. So I then gave it 2 coats of neat yellow just to kill off the pre shading a little, ( to be honest if I was doing this again I'd try and do the pre shading with burnt umber for the underside to see how that would work ) then 2 more coats of the red yellow mix.

Got the top camo on now.

[papa 695]

Got all the decals on now.

Nice work mate. Coming along nicely. Just something about roundels and the fin flash that don't look right on a 109. Looking good though.
