RB53 - I certainly like the blue as it's pretty close to my blue . I was originally going to stay all blue but after contemplating my Danbury Mint 1:24 Scale 1941 AK model and a restoration by the Willoughby family in Canada decided to do the black offsets. My blue was taken from the Danbury model which is Export Blue.

Your crop and renew work looks great too! It's certainly nice to find metal patch panels where you can do a proper restoration.

Thanks for the nice pics
