She's going to wear the colours and markings of an HMS Ark Royal deployed Attacker and have her wings folded.

I'm using this photo etch sheed photo as a reference to the pattern that needs rescribing onto the plasticard, I only plan on doing on the inner wing folded sections.

So I got her like this.
First step is to mask the cut line.

I can't mix paint.
My wife is really good at it.
She matched her Suez Sea Fury and the results are great!

Interesting subject! About the British fleet planes I love the dark gray: depending on the angle and the light, sometimes it seems more bluish.
I notice this in the profile picture, while in the top side picture it seems just gray... I've been wondering for some times how to achieve this effect in a model (I've got a sea harrier gr1 in the queue). I definitely accept suggestions...

Oh, I watched this cheapest kit, but did not dare to buy it. There's too much to redo, starting with the chassis niches and cockpit. In any case, good luck to you! I will be following your project with great interest!
