On the tip of the nose cone it should be natural fibreglass, any ideas what colour that is please

From this page http://www.abpic.co.uk/search.php?q=XH132&u=reg it looks like the radome is an ochre colour.

It depends on the colour of the resin used in the wet lay up of the fibreglass, if it is clear resin then I would suggest a buff colour.

Coming together nicely Ian. That's some very tidy paint work. No bleed on the masking = Very impressive. Any trade secrets there?

Just make sure the masking tape is down properly then spray the original colour first so if it does seep it's the same colour then when dry spray the next colour

Finally got time in the modelling room so I put the decals on this one
