Almost there!! Top is pretty good....for a War Bird. Got some advice from an expert on War Birds...
Don't sweat the bottom of the wing. Do it "all right" paint it then wipe it down with thinned clear with a "tad" of "oily stuff". The darn planes leaked oil and hydraulic like sieves anyway.
Top of wing, minor dimples get filled with the oily stuff, and dents on the leading edge get dry brushed with aluminum.....
That's my story and I'm sticking to it... Angry

First run at first colour on top.....I know there are those of you aware that the British had paint schemes specified as pattern  "A" and "B" in the early years of the war.....some will take a look and determine my efforts don't really look like either.

Another, less documented pattern was the "ESM" pattern, and that is represented here  Roll Eyes

As long as it mates with the fuse colors you'll get by.

The fuse is ESM flat. I went with a "Not So Flat", but not yet semi gloss. So the finish will be off. Too bad I guess; I didn't want the real flat look on the big Hurricane, and this is the paint I'll be using... Embarrassed
