I really like the look of that camo scheme, Robert!

The triplex RP's came out really well!

The paint scheme in the first 3 photo's looks like black-green on white, which would be an awesome Norwegian fjords scheme.

Still not personally turned on by the grey but it's a great pattern & the build is brilliant.

Wow Robert! Tres bien!

Can't wait to build my MB.6.

Thanks guys, and I've just realized something ---- I've just finished a model --- $:-\$ well almost, just the decals to go on.

Guy, the bottom view and the other three, it's all the same grey. The flash seems to make it very light coloured for some reason. The black-green is actually Glossy Sea Blue (Humbrol H181). Once the decals are on I'll take some pics in natural daylight, probably on the weekend.

Yeah, I knew that from the earlier photo's, mate, but those 3 photo's look like a black-green on white scheme, which I think looks great.

I might go along with that Guy, night ship raiding the fjords. Maybe further up the coast ----

I like it

So I've finished the build, first one for a long time. Right to the end though, still some problems. This time with the decals. The blue in the kit's roundels is way too blue, had to substitute them with some roundels from a Freightdog sheet I have.

Few more and showing with the MB5 Prototype

She's a beauty, Robert!

There's something almost mesmerizing about that wonderful camouflage!

Nice!

Thanks Guy. And thanks for the ""fjord"" idea. I'm calling this done right now and after the GB has been declared 'Finished', I'm going to add some ship "kill" markings under the German "kill" markings. I drew up some shapes but I've got to get them printed by my friend in the UK and it will take some time before I get them as they're very small and would be a total waste of materials to print by themselves. They're going to be in white which my printer can't print.

There's two types of fin/rudder to choose from, one is a short one with a broad chord rudder, the other is a tall one with short chord rudder. I'm using the tall one but I'm making it taller still.

Well I thought I had made this taller ---- but while cleaning the models in my cabinet over the weekend, I just happened to notice that it is still the same size as the Airframe vacuform kit I built years ago. And that kit I had compared with 1/72 scale drawings in the Aircraft of the Fighting Powers book before I had built it. Plus I know I didn't extend the fin on it too. Very strange -----

I had forgotten about this build Robert.

A most excellent idea and execution.
