Marco I have had a look through my "warpaint" books and only found one picture of a 4330 (?) Anyway here's the picture Now you can clearly see on this museum piece, the flaps are definitely redish colour. If you look close to the rear you can see a fuel cap, that is not yellow. Now as for the antenna mounts, well these were usually over painted with whatever colour crossed them, but if you're unsure you could paint the black. These are made of rubber so an paint would eventually flake off. This is all I can offer Marco, but maybe the honorable Ceebee may have something tucked away in his ole noggin'

You were this talented 15 years ago as well fella. Smashing colours on that Chieftain.

I'm still not brave enough to have a crack at the Berlin scheme so your work from years ago is really inspiring mate.

Thanks a lot Pete. Hope the 432 will be better than Chieftain.

Hi mates! Well, after a VA Bronze Green Primer, some miles of blue tape (the pic is only the start) and a bit of Ammo Grey Blue (more gray than blue, I must admit), we have this: err, my mistake... this: Hope you like! ACC&?W

Good job Marco, it's not an easy pattern to tackle

Cheers Ian! They don't be perfect, some blue spots are a bit larger or smaller than de correct ones, but I think that after the brown lay down this little problems will be almost invisible.

Marco, stellar looking work, so far. Berlin Brigade camo is somewhat of a challenge. I pulled it off, once.

Ta Ian! A update: After another 3 hour masking section I had this: Then, after a bit of brown paint and a lot hope, I got this: Oh, man, not again. In truth, I had this: It's really hard. I have some mask fouls, some over sprays and a BIG OUCH! So, tomorrow I'll retouch everything I can and start to paint the little parts that I let of 'till finish the main paint work. ACC&?W
