Made it through the Dark Green forest today with these three #ModelAircraft getting a variation of paint tones to suit their weathering style and homeland (The Hudson green was deemed to be a bit more Dupont in its tone) Glad to get them through this stage although I may have some edits to do later… and I forgot to paint the Hurricane tail band first off

Joining up on the wing of my 1/48 Airfix Anson is this Italeri Hurricane #ModelAircraft with its Dark Earth masked off now. Noted Italeri had the colour call outs reversed on their instructions! Thankfully I questioned it and checked other references so I got the Earth taped off here correctly… I hope

Managed to get the time today to mask off the Dark Earth on my 1/48 Airfix Anson #ModelAircraft … Ready for another set in the paint shop (just waiting on a couple of others to get masks on).

This Weekend in The Hangar - For me the "Aggressor" paint schemes can really give you a new look on a familiar #ModelAircraft Whether it be a "Teen-Gen" series, Phantom or the more familiar F-5s and A-4s, they introduce a bit of eye-catching colour into a collection to break from the grays. Check out this Skyhawk example at: https://www.flypastrush.com/post/colourful-scooter-1-48th-monogram-oa-4m-skyhawk

Last but not least we have the Anson Mk.I masked up and looking like an Easter decoration with the yellow underside covered with purple tape now. Next stop The Paint Shop! #ModelAircraft

Moving along with the masking at The Hangar tonight - Next I managed to get the Hudson Mk. III packaged up. #ModelAircraft

Masking away at The Hangar tonight - Got a Hurricane Mk. I wrapped up. #ModelAircraft

I swear I am not trying to make things more difficult It’s just that some reference photos showed the ammo bays open but not the gun bays (but the Airfix kit was designed for all open or all closed) So, with a bit more surgery I got it done (and added the bowling balls the F-86 pilot is smuggling.) #ModelAircraft

In order to distract me from the CA Hudson pitfalls, I cracked open my newly acquired F-86 Sabre. I am just doing some minor changes to it so the end result will be a Mk.6 of RCAF 441 Squadron in Europe version. (Wing needed to be shortened, some additional vents added, some panels filled etc.) #ModelAircraft

This Weekend in The Hangar - Folding wings, dropped flaps, positionable canopy, with a rear gun turret and a torpedo! What more could you ask for in 1974? If you have one of these Monogram kits in the stash, you can still put some effort in and get a good display aircraft from it. I recently picked up the 1/48th G.W.H. TBD-1 Devastator that benefits from the industry improvements over the past 4 decades. Check this Monogram #ModelAircraft out in more detail: https://www.flypastrush.com/post/torpedo-runner-1-48th-monogram-tbd-1-devastator

The Hurricane was also into the paint shop today to initially get a cheap shot of interior green on the glass (it works relatively well for effect) before laying down an underside coat of British “Sky”. Another coat will follow post assessment. #ModelAircraft Weathering to be incorporated.

At least I got the Lockheed Hudson into the paint shop today to initially get a cheap shot of interior green on the glass (it works relatively well for effect) before laying down an underside coat of British “Sky”. Another coat will follow post assessment. #ModelAircraft

Finally finished the #Buccaneer today Reveal time (oh, and also the Hawk and tractor)

I thought I was heading to the paint shop with this Hudson, but then I remembered I hadn’t fitted the underside engine scoops… Now I have to figure out how to patch this glorious fit up …and when she was bad she was horrid! #ModelAircraft

In that 1/48 Anson; Hudson #ModelAircraft project, there is also this 1/48th Italeri Hurricane getting patched together with its so-so panel and parts fits to join the two others in the next paint shop session
