Making these for a GB elsewhere.
After initial painting
Construction could start in earnest. First on the E555
With ballast courtesy of the Royal Mint.
And the Horten
Both canopies were masked with Tamiya tape.
And brush painted using Humbrol enamels. Now a confession here, I don't have the RLM colours quoted and the Humbrol enamel equivalents are not available yet. So I used RLM 1946 (i.e. modeler's license and made them up) and then varnished them in preparation of the decals.
The decals were applied with the assistance of Revell DecalSoft which I find is a great product, and then Humbrol Mat varnish applied.
So this is the state of play with them at the moment.
