OK.
Budget Hasty Repaint - 91a Squadriglia aircraft no. 1 - Pier Ruggero Piccio. SPAD VII, ARES miniature (Started out as a Guynemer)
Matching the paint I would classify as a near miss. Spent quite a bit of time mixing, looking, mixing, looking, mixing.....then I settled. OK at game distances.
Reverse Italian Roundels by Dom's Decals.
Rampant Griffin by Armorcast decals (Had to go Medieval to find these....)
Overall flat spray is ModelMasters flat lacquer, which is not entirely flat.
Next up is a Pessi, once I find, or find a way to create a crescent moon of the appropriate size.
On the lower wing you can see the old French Insignia bleed through with light behind it. Better to have white primed over it first. No problem with the green however. Red and Green Paint was just some old Citadel colors I had lying about.
Had a near impossible time removing Vieux Charles - you can still see traces. An exacto, a steady hand, and more patience would either have removed it, or scraped through to the base material......or both.
As a gaming piece, I am satisfied.
