Kev Thanks Kev The colors look strange indeed; however, it is just according to the most probable version of how the "old leaves" / "young leaves" camouflage scheme might have been looking like. According to the AJ Press monograph, as well as the good old IPMS Stockholm site, the Dutch used US Medium Green as "young leaf"/Jongblad , and US Dark Olive Drab as "old leaf"/Oudblad. So here it is. The question of how well these MRP paints match the original may be raised, however, after the weathering, the final shade of colors will be slightly different, duller. By the way, the longer I look at these colors, the more I like it how they look on this Hawk, combined with the silver underside and orange markings.

Grunticus Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Looking great! There is a lot of debate (still) going out about what colours Jongblad and Oudblad actually were, and this will probably never be settled. The best description I have ever come across was a statement from a veteran who said that "from a distance the colours looked the same (so one colour overall), and only from a shorter distance you could distinguish that they were in fact, two colors" . Personally I think your darker color looks pretty good, but the lighter one is a tadd too green (if you don't mind me saying so).

That medium green... well, it is just green, indeed. I think that when it is dusted a bit, this color will be toned down. On the other hand, one can see the camouflage quite well at the photos, two colors are clearly visible. But it may also be due to the photographic material, filters... so much that at the photos the lighter colour (medium green) is darker than the dark olive drab ... Will see.

Troy Molitor Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I love all that is going on here Hubert. A Dutch Hawk H-75! Enough said. The colors look great. I love the Dutch bold orange on anything with wings. Kendzior and R Palimaka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendzior Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Applied some washes, this time I tried the new ones (for me) from Modelers World. Worked very well. The propeller, landing gear - also received some attention, their time is coming. The photos without any enhancements, so the colors close to the reality. wmoran, Landrotten Highlander, Gazzas and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendzior Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 The landing gear legs installed, there was some trouble to have them in correct angles, but I think it's OK now. Some shadows added, some exhaust stains. Anthony in NZ, Gazzas, LSP_Kevin and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waroff Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 why the walkway edge has a waves?. it's a strip of linoleum bonded on the wing and the edges are secured by a binding strip screwed into the wing Kendzior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it look like that? I have no idea. Maybe Mr P.C. van Breen wanted to have something different and asked the servicemen to over-paint the edge of the walkway in this wavy style? Other Dutch Hawks seem to have a straight line there. It was one of two reasons why I chose this scheme (the white stripe on the fuselage was the second one). 59 minutes ago, Cees Broere said: Prachtig schema! Prachtig dank u!

Kendzior Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Added the wheels, and most of the the gear covers, the lights. Time to think about the weathering, probably will use some light earth pigments, also to emphasize the rivets just as they look at the photo in my earlier post, maybe some oils for the belly. The propeller is not turning, if anyone asked ;). Kagemusha, Anthony in NZ, Landrotten Highlander and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
