Well done !, kit brings back memories of days past.

Welcome to the forums. There are many possible color schemes, what I do is research the aircraft on the internet and pick your favorite plane and build away. I would recommend investing in a inexpensive Iwata airbrush for painting and get a decent set of camel hair brushes for detail work. See my earlier post for my P-51 prototype in Sn J natural metal finish. Learn to airbrush basic color schemes first and with practice it gets better.

Hello all my name is Dan, I renewed my IPMS membership today, I was President with the now defunct IPMS Texas Outlaw Modelers back in the early 1990's. I build aircraft and armor. My profile pic is my P-61 diorama in 1/48. We do 3-d printing and are trying out some new alternatives to casting resin. This is our latest creation a 1/8 scale Hiroshima bomb. My son downloaded this from CGtrader and printed it in gray PLA (100 pieces +) and I applied some Iwata airbrush magic to it. It has 2 LEDs in it.
