SM81 Basecoat

I have eventually managed to get some painting in this weekend, although it's taken until 9.30pm on Sunday to find a couple of hours spare.

Anyway, the result is the SM81 in a basecoat and with some tenatative camouflage mottle pattern as you can see in the photo. At this stage I'm always thinking that there's a 50% chance of it going either right or wrong, to put it politely, but it's looking OK so far (it looks better in real life than in the photo...honest).

I've also basecoated a schwarm of BF109 F's for the Luftwaffe but they look a bit boring in comparison with the flashy Italian, so I haven't taken any pictures yet. I'm hoping to make further progress tomorrow evening on these.
