Eddy, hate to ask at this time but what Gloss Sea Blue are you using? This is way to light in color.

Humbrol. It does appear a bit too light but, oh well... As fer the decals, they seem a bit thick & when I took the pics, I hadn't hit them with Future yet. Looking at the pics I thot so too!

Ok, it's Humbrol #47 Gloss Sea Blue. Somebody on another board said to look on the cap for the #. Guess it gives a real faded look & might try some weathering on her :hmmm any ideas?

Quick google search shows it as "SEA Blue" Gloss... You know what, at this point I would just go with it, or make it a racer? With the decals already on it would be kinda hard to go back with some real GSB.

Aint much I can do at this point other than run with it. It does look faded/ sun-bleached so, think maybe some weathering, heavy usage? still got to do the exhaust stains on the nacelles.

Metal!! Stronger!! God luv ya. Also, for my Non-Specular Sea Blue Navy airplanes, I've not found a nicer blue, than the old Testors PLA enamel 3/4 ounce "Sea Blue".
My 2 cents!

I stirred the paint & decided to put some on an extra part & check to see how it matches up.

Think by the time it dries it'll be a good close match.
