Hurrah! At last some more modeling has occurred

More Dark Sea Grey has been applied to the Phantom. Trouble is it’s Xtracolor, and this particular batch
Is taking a long time to dry (two days and it’s still tacky!) which is strange as the paint applied to the
Spitfire 24 dried in the ‘normal’ overnight time scale and it Came from the same tin! All of which means the phantom won’t make The ‘in the Navy GB’. So that gives me a bit more time to work on the fin colour/Sqn. marking.
The AVM’s Spitfire XVI has received its top coat of the wrong colour (probably) but I like it

Just wondering if it’s U/C legs and inside of the doors should be silver? Or do I remember reading that the legs and doors and inside the U/C bay where considered as part of the outside of the aircraft by Supermarine and therefore painted in the underside colour?
500Sqn RauxAF Hunter F.9 is awaiting drop tanks, if I can remember where I put them

Or maybe I’ll call it done and See if the Station Photographer at RAF Hiding-in-the-Hedges managed to capture it on the Visiting Aircraft pan

No 1 Sqn’s Lightning F.6 has had a complete set of U/C doors fitted and just needs an ejection seat, Red Tops and final touch up. There maybe pictures later.
A partially completed Lancaster has been seen lurking on the work bench and may now join the queue for the final push to the finishing line; if the Lightning manages to depart the workbench before Lancaster enthusiasm wanes.
Unfortunately work beckons for the next two weeks so I don’t see much happening for a bit (but I need the money

)
