It’s started. Apparently my Polly S Russian Underside Blue dried out sometime since my last Red Air Force build. So I had to pull out my tin of not quite so old Humbrol 114. That’s drying now and it’s almost time to work on the topsides.

Better hurry up or the whole Zavod will be sent to the Gulag!

The workers have doubled their efforts for glorious comrade Stalin!
Well, I’ve got the basic colors on now. Underside is Humbrol enamel 114, Russian Light Blue. My old bottle of Polly S Russian Underside Blue had dried out since my last Red Air Force build… Topside is Polly Scale USSR Light Topside Gray. That took two thinned coats hand brushed… I had painted the side exhaust panels with Testors square bottle Steel last night
next up, the Dark Gray disruptive pattern…

Comrade Stalin can now relax a bit and take a shot of vodka. All is proceeding according to schedule.
