Hi mates! My 7th "build" this year: ![](https://preview.ibb.co/f8am5L/20181115-154114.jpg) "Tons" (or toons) of parts: ![](https://preview.ibb.co/mxeDkL/20181115-154224.jpg) And after an hour of laborious work, with a pause to drink a espresso and a slice of cake, I had this: ![](https://preview.ibb.co/hRZeQL/20181115-174300.jpg) Funny build for sure ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Cute subject... But, which color to use to paint a Firefly? Was there camoed Fireflies? Hope you like! ACC&?W ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

That is sweet indeed ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . As for the colouring check this link out ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) : www.mafva.net/other%20pages/Starmer%20camo.htmI know AK interactive have a colour set, I have this myself but i haven't tried them yet. The SCC 15 Olive drab is there, and I think you can get this colour on it's own. These are lacquer paints.![](https://preview.ibb.co/d8DSef/DSCN9908.jpg)

Thanks a lot Guybro! Paul sended a link that's almost perfect for anyone who want paint a WWII British vehicle.
As far as I can see, Olive Drab is a good match to the color, but I'll try find the correct one!

Calm down mates! I'm not a rivet counter, and I just have had started the paint work, using the paint I said... ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) And as I didn't have had received the compressor 'till saturday night, I started the little Somua too: ![](https://preview.ibb.co/eFc89f/20181117-171236.jpg) ![](https://preview.ibb.co/ivTbvL/20181117-171353.jpg) And, as yesterday I've had the new compressor (that works perfectly and quietly), I started to paint both little fellas: ![](https://preview.ibb.co/e8Fjh0/20181118-192407.jpg) ![](https://preview.ibb.co/geJgUf/20181118-192413.jpg) ![](https://preview.ibb.co/dcGPh0/20181118-192422.jpg) ![](https://preview.ibb.co/ixZzFL/20181118-192434.jpg) In the Firefly I need to mask the lower part of the barrel and complete the work. The Somua will be camouflaged with rust brown and sky green... Something like that: ![](https://preview.ibb.co/fy3C20/Pintura.jpg) So far, so good (and funny). Hope you like... ACC&?W

Nicely done Sir ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Here's a tip for your next Firefly. Paint the barrel white first, then mask off the part that stays white and paint then the green, it's easier that way ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . I hope you still have a toon kit left over for the GB next year ![P-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/pirate.png) ?
