DH Don repaints on the way

I am putting the finishing touches to a herd of repaints for Edward Cook's DH Don. While the serial numbers on the planes are from within the run of those actually used on the planes, do not expect to find 100% accurate repaints. What I did to add some variety to the plane was to go through my RAF color chart and pick out a good number of colors that I really like and do over-all paint jobs in those colors. Aircraft Gray Green, Dark Mediterranean Blue, Duck Egg Blue, Duck Egg Green, Extra Dark Sea Green, Olive Drab, Light Aircraft Gray, Pru Blue, Sky, and Trainer Yellow. These paints are shinier than they most likely would have been on wooden built trainers from the WW2 period...but they sure do look nice and give the flier a nice selection of options to choose from.

I tried a nice Dark Green and Dark Earth over Trainer Yellow camo scheme...similar to what was seen on the Hurricanes before and during the early part of the war...but the way the plane is mapped the camo did not work so well on the vertical stabilizers. Which is a shame as the plane looked so good in that paint job.

Will get them packaged sometime tomorrow and uploaded.

THe CFS2 conversion is nearly done.....just need to regauge the panel and VC...I think...heck, it may be done and just waiting for upload. I started the conversion some time ago....and now have plenty of paints to go along with it.

Thanks OBIO. The Don is a really nice model, I always thought it was a pity there weren't any repaints for it.

Cheers,

Uploaded. I am fond of the Sky, Duck Egg Blue and Trainer Yellow ones myself. This pack is like flying a bag of Skittles...colorful, sweet, but with not nutritional value what so ever.

Thanks OBIO. I was just flying the Don last night. Will be nice to have a couple new paint jobs for it.
