Ok, back on the Nimrod! After a significant masking job I got the Mr. Color Light Aircraft Grey applied to the undersides. The paint sprayed very well and just have a few touch-ups to do the underside of the aircraft. I ordered more Mr. Color RAF Hemp for the topside touch ups and that arrived so I can get the top camo finished off.

Just have to touch up a few spots and divots then will be ready to move on to the panel line phase. No weathering to deal with as these were pretty pristine aircraft.

Sweet work! I have one of these in the stash but haven't started it because I don't know what color I have that is closest to the 'hemp' color that this has. Maybe someday I'll get it going. I already have a slew of other large aircraft to finish.
