Christmas Katyuska - part 3

Paintwork is now complete. I opted for a simple overall green with pale blue underside. Once that was dry I masked and painted on the red bands which marked the wings and fuselage of Spanish Republican aircraft. The number and coloured stripes on the tail were sourced from the kit’s own (slightly faded) decal sheet.
Hopefully a coat of clear varnish will make its appearance less disreputable.

    True - but a bugger to catch in a Fiat CR-32...
