1/72 Ark Models Supermarine Attacker F.1
This is the look I'm aiming for.
HMS Ark Royal exhibition at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton.
She's going to wear the colours and markings of an HMS Ark Royal deployed Attacker and have her wings folded.
I'm using this photo etch sheed photo as a reference to the pattern that needs rescribing onto the plasticard, I only plan on doing on the inner wing folded sections.
So I got her like this.
First step is to mask the cut line.

And the first Wing tip is off!
I can't mix paint.
My wife is really good at it.
She matched her Suez Sea Fury and the results are great!

Interesting subject! About the British fleet planes I love the dark gray: depending on the angle and the light, sometimes it seems more bluish.
I notice this in the profile picture, while in the top side picture it seems just gray... I've been wondering for some times how to achieve this effect in a model (I've got a sea harrier gr1 in the queue). I definitely accept suggestions...

I personally think.its different light temperature that does it if that makes sense?

Oh, I watched this cheapest kit, but did not dare to buy it. There's too much to redo, starting with the chassis niches and cockpit. In any case, good luck to you! I will be following your project with great interest!
