IF? Perchance one is referring to ones pate, then it ain't me in the mirror!! No bleedin' hair!!!!

Er, simply not true……..sorry Doug. Greys can exhibit incredible variability in tone and they are not usually made by simply mixing black and white.
Try this…..

Oh dear! It wasn’t a serious reply!!!
Just to clear something up chaps....
That ain't no mirror....
... It's Mr.Peter Oxley in one of his YouTube videos

Go Mr. Smiff, Go!!! Looking real good Andy as it's not an easy camo job and very easy to go astray while doing it. If you're happy, then all the better. Besides, I don't think Hermann G. is going to come around and shoot you if it ain't perfect, or to RLM standards!!!...

Thanks guys, appreciate you looking in 
,
So then,an update...
Masking was completed, took AGES,
Then....
Black,(partially), applied there,then..
Unmasked,yep, some bleed did appear, however, nothing that can't be sorted
...
I've also started the the camo, but I've reached total burn out now,so will be taking a rest from it now,what i HAVE done,still requires a filler bit of painting,but here tiz the moment..
This is quite mind zapping,and FAR from done, but I'm fairly happy up to now

Thanks Andrew,
It's a pleasure,(although a bit mind numbing),to do!!
Cheers Tony, not quick at all,I got burn out last week, back on it now mind
Thanks mate, it's been a challenge!!
.... So then, I've had my week off from this,but this evening I've completed the basic camo paint,and tidied up the black... some details to paint on the exhausts etc,then put some washes on....ere tiz at the moment...
Some of it needs going over, however,in general,I reckon I'm on track

I spy with my little eye something beginning with 'J'. A little 'cat' in the background
Indeed... You are correct Sir...
... Although, despite it being a fairly old Revell kit, it's very enjoyable
Thanks Andrew... Still plugging away on this one.. decided to shove the wheelie bits on before getting ready for the decals,and a wash...
That metal lump thing in the cockpit area worked a treat,as you can see
Finally for this update,and you can see here that I've added the decals
We're on the home straight now I reckon!!
