Wasn't happy with the "light blue" the kit called for. Bought some Testors blue metal flake, and blended some gloss white in to try and get a closer approximation of the engine color. Also took some liberties with the oil pan. Instead of keeping it blue, I mixed some flat aluminum with some flat brass. Two shots of the intake manifold show the light blue previously used, and the darker custom shade I mixed.

After most of the parts were put together, I ran a black wash over all of it to highlight the textures and give it a "oily/dirty" look. So used to doing that with acrylics, that I forgot that it wants to remove the paint I'm going over. Overall, not too bad for the first model I've touched in 25 years.

Good color choice! I think it doesn't matter wethter it is original paint or not. I never saw one original so it looks pretty good to me. Cool!

Spanjaard
fully agree with Christian W, the blue looks truly beautiful

Thanks! A couple of the original paint colors for this car was Lucerne Blue (this one is probably closer to what I have here) and Bermuda Blue which I really wanted but couldn't find anything close. Either way I'm really happy with the end result.

Sunday and some basic progress was done with the cabin and tail cone section!

More progress,
-Masking of clear parts with Eduard masks
-Some details on the main fuselage were not suitable for the variant -B so I removed them but also added some others from my spare parts
-Resque hoist provided by Italeri is suitable for -A variant only,so I made another from my spare box which is almost the correct one (will add some wiring also in the end)
-Added seatbelts on the seats

Cuajete
Good start 👍

Great metal effect on the double radial engine, but very basic in detail. 😉

Ok, kidding aside. Lovely progress. I am in for the ride.
