Takom Leopard and Airfix Hurricane

The Airfix Hurricane received a coat of Vallejo Surface Primer the other day to show up any flaws in the wing joints and it did exactly that;

As you can see the joint is not brilliant and needs some more filling, after which the model will get another coat. Also the model will require a light sanding as lumps of primer attached themselves to the surfaces as they shot out of the airbrush.
The Takom Leopard finally got the base coat on using a mix of Tamiya XF-67 Nato Green, XF-65 Field Grey and XF-57. Prior to spraying the base coat I went over the black primer with grey, lightened more for the top surfaces;

The base coat was mixed in a 3 parts Nato Green to two parts Field Grey ratio with some Buff thrown in to suit, the mix being very kindly supplied by Anthony Seward who commanded a Leopard C2 in the Canadian Army;

The paint looked a bit too bright but after a coat of Tamiya X-22 Clear it altered the tone somewhat;

So now I have a shiny (ish) Leopard after a mammoth spraying session. The decals will be put on and a pin wash applied before spraying it with matt varnish as a glossy surface helps the flow of paint when applying pin washes.
