TreehuggerLooks like maybe photo 2 should come before photo 1? Hm, looks like all the four photos ought to be shuffled to make better sense.

Gordon SørensenI like the organization for painting. Det er en god idé! I am planning on doing a RDAF Super Sabre in 1/72. Not sure how to do the severe weathering and the dis-colourization on the rear fuselage. Decals from Stoppel?

Lars StigaardThanks @Treehugger..I can see this...I am new here so I was at first not aware of that there is an option to shuffle pics in correct order but I have done this now -🙂

Lars StigaardThanks @Gordon - It´s my way of keeping track of i all - I am not sure yet on how to do the dis-colourization and heavy weathering to the rear fuselage but I have some ideas but I need to test them first - I have previously done some testing on my SAAB J-35 Draken and I am not quite satisfied yet

Lars StigaardI hope so Maciej - I just that i can create patched up and correct weatherizing paint a long with the dis-colourization at the rear fuselage - but I have found some great reference pictures from other kit builder that I will test from
