I talked myself out of the mistake I talked myself into. The dark green was too green despite what is shown in Squadron-Signal according to most people.
So back to a dark grey albeit with a hint of green.
Those 4 little jars are there to show the dark green next to the dark gray, the light blue and medium grey just for reference.
The Corsair is back on the bench because I broke the wing off moving it around...grrr.
I did finish that Sturmovik as well. Not worth it's own thread so I'll hijack my own. I'm, pretty unhappy with "Accurate Miniatures" overall, but I'd stop short of saying they suck. I was not familiar with the brand (been out of the hobby for almost 30 years) but I picked it up at the local model show for $10. Overall fit was good with a few really bad gaps, so I'd say average as a final score on fit. The instructions had lots of words, almost conversational advice in some places, but the instructions were the worst part zero indication how some parts fit, and in some places there was no provision to mount the part, so even with the words it was a guess. Plus some parts were left over ands there was no floor for the rear gunner. Still looks okay on the shelf and from a distance.
I made a rear-floor out of paper (a post-it note actually) and painted it. Notice there's no glass over the rear gunner?
It must be some kind of manufacturing defect, both rear sections (2 variants) had similar damage on them. I thought it was supposed to be some sort of camo net, but that's ridiculous. The parts were sealed in the bags, and none of the other three parts had this issue. I read that crews would often remove the rear section during summer months, so I went with that and left it off.
There was nice detail on the front cockpit, just hard to see in there.
I think my blue is a bit on the bright side, but only a little.
