Bit of masking and more colour...   Had never heard of "radome tan" but it looks a bit like a fleh colour... still have to do a section on the tail with that colour as well.. And than... that dreaded moment of unwrapping, feels a bit like opening up your Christmas presents...   |

That looks great, Bert! You nailed the Radome Tan shade, perfectly. For Radome Tan, most paint lines will just call it "Sand" and I believe the FS number is 33531. Fantastic looking EA-6A, thus far!

Thanks, I used the Ak RC version, 227, is actually also called Radome tan... Good to know because I need to replenish that color. I think I finished off my Model Master bottle. |

Amazing, Bert!!!!!! Those walkways look fantastic. I forgot how many there were on the topsides of the early A-6s and EA-6As.

Love it, Bert! great to see a high-viz grey over white scheme, especially a VAQ-33 jet.

Love it, Bert! great to see a high-viz grey over white scheme, especially a VAQ-33 jet. Thanks, actually it isn't white, I used AK RC 308 AE-9 All Light Grey, thought white was very.... white..  This one is just a shade darker than AK RC 013 Off White. |
