Pete - Thanks for the explanation, following your thread has really opened my eyes to the complexity of the modern model jet.

Pete, I'm enjoying the article, especially the photos. The colour matching is a nuisance, do you think a spot of "weathering" would help hide the difference in colour/shade of the newly painted parts? Keep going! It's doing my enthusiasm the world of good.

John - My final comment on your gallant effort to find a matching blue & sand colour for covers.
Have you considered sending the small bits back to BVM & asking them to spray & return ?

Postage to the US is prohibitively expensive and I wouldn't trust BVM not to charge an extortionate amount for the privilege. They do make good products but their customer loyalty is based on the "The Emperors new Clothes" - i.e. they charge for stuff that any other manufacturer in the market gives away.

If we can't find the perfect match, I will respray the whole airframe with the paint colours we have available in the UK and up yours BVM B)
It's only going to get worse once we have the Trump administration in place :dry:

Sovereign hobbies may have come up "trumps" with the paint and if not can make 1 litre specials for me - just waiting for the prices. I will be sending off my sample for them to compare to their standard USSR colours.
