Is it the same camo/paint as Flak Bait?

I think so. OD Green over Neutral Gray. Had posted a couple pics earlier in this thread of a model someone else did and it had an extra green markings atop the fuselage & wings. I couldn't confirm that Mild and Bitter had this or not. Well, I did some extensive searching & found a video of Mild and Bitter and being the 1st to reach the 50 missions mark & I musta watched in a few dozen times & looks like she didn't have the added green onthe upper wings/fuselage. So, gonna go with the OD/Neut gray.
 
Wowzer that is some great work! I thought about this kit but I do not think I could have done it justice!

Thanks Bruce. This is an older kit & isn't too bad. I haven't really had any issues with it, I'm sure you'd do well with it! If I can, so can anyone else :good:
 
managed to get all the glass in that needs to be installed before I can seal up the fuselage. Still have to work on the upper turret, tail guns & a few other minor things before I can seal it up. :facepalm
 
Ok fellas (& Bob) Here's some pics of where she sits now...
