I just ordered some xtracrylic 70/71 and 74/75, Hannants descriptions seem more accurate so it will be interesting to see

thanks Steve

I realise now that the BoB CASAs were 65

sadly I’m using acrylics, both Mr Hobby and Vallejo were too grey the one in the photo is lifecolour, I’ll probably use this in the future,

my main problem is the colours that people use in illustrations, I have some Eagle cal decals that the illustrations show 76 more like 65 and 74/75 with a definite green tinge to them,

it’s very frustrating as I’m having to re learn all of this, we didn’t have this problem with Humbrol in the 70s

the 109F2 is really a great kit, it’s brilliant compared to a Hasegawa, I’ve also got their F4 as well
it’s next in line I only did the Tamiya fw 190 to break myself in gently

mind you the 109 will be fun as some of the colours they used on the Eastern front were quite exotic

been having all sorts of fun trying to find a version of RLM76 that looks like the illustrations where it appears very blue, the ones I’ve tried are mostly too grey, this is the closest I’ve got to it, anybody have any ideas

I’ve just watched some bits from the Battle of Britain and the CASA 111s are are really bright blue

don’t know which scheme to go with the ones in the kit are western front, I’ve ordered some Eagle cal ones for the Eastern front which tend to be more colourful, there’s actually not much available for the A3,
