For the primer I used some Isopon Grey, the same stuff as I used on the Arado 240, which was RUBBISH, and I'll never use it on a model again!

The bright yellow underside paint was Halfords Rover Yellow, from their new colour range, which was OK, but not a patch on their older stuff.

Luckily I've now tracked down a supply of HyCote paints, and they made the original Halfords range, which used to be THE standard by which all other car paints were measured, but of course the accountants got greedy and 'improved' the range (ie contracted it out to a cheaper supplier....) and wrecked things, and hopefully lost a LOT of business as a result!

If it ain't broke, DON'T fix it!  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Kit
