I've been crazy busy in and out of work, so haven't had much time for modelling, but with my new compressor arriving today I've been splashing some paint around.
After priming with black Mr Surfacer I sprayed various rust shades around.
Then a coat of the traditional blue these were often seen in, heavily chipped
It had another coat of a lighter blue which was also chipped heavily, then some off-white for the roof.
Still very much WIP, lots more to do, but the project is still rolling along, albeit slowly due to other commitments.
I plan to do a bit more work on the white "stripes" and nose embellishments, then seal all of this lot in with some varnish before starting with the detail painting. All of this is done in the 3rd Gen AK acrylics, so at least I can brush bits in where needed.
