J35JThanks mates for your interest.
@Micheal Kohl - I used Tamiya spray paint TS-43 Racing Green for the 1/48 build.

Michael KohlDid you choose it after research, as an (educated) guess or because it looks good - which it does?

J35J@Michael Kohl - Good question! Researching the green colour for the DH88 took some time and effort.
Reviewing some kit's manuals from different manufacturers the following came up:
• Mikromir: BS381C:225, Light Brunswick Green,
• Airfix: Humbrol Hu3 Brunswick green
• Clear prop: British Racing Green (no code ref mentioned)
• KP: Humbrol Hu3 Brunswick Green, stated as British Racing Green
• S.B.S model: Brunswick green (no code mentioned ref)
Conclusion - BS381C:225, Light Brunswick Green is the colour to go with if you want to be right on spot.
British Racing Green may be a little bit too dark, but it looks very good!😎

J35J@Cuajete - Dry fit is quite good regarding wings and airframe, some filler will be needed. The engine nacelles was molded in one piece and the fitting to the wing was perfect. Saved a lot of work.
The cabin is very detailed. A lot of small PE stuff that the rug monster craving for…

Michael KohlThanks J35J for your answer. The new ClearProp-kit for the green version recommends Mr. Hobby Color H-383. Just to confuse even more. 😉. But actually you already summed it up in a pretty clear way.
You chose wood for the interior color. This is in line with the recommendation of the red ClearProp machine and the replica, which was left wooden on the inside. Judging from the bw-pictures available to me I interpreted the pretty dark appearance of the interior as black and colored the interior of my model accordingly.

What I missed is the sunshade these machines had. Maybe you want to fashion one for yours.

J35JThanks Michael for your input. I also went with black interior building the green version in 1/48
This time I will throw in some artistic license and go with wood interior.
The sun shades was new to me. That really need to be considered as I will go with open canopy on this build.

bughunterGreat work so far 👍
The kit seems to provide more details compared to the MikroMir in 1:48?

J35JThanks bughunter! The kit is excellent with great detail level and fitting.
Resin moulding is top quality. White metal parts for the landing gear have minimum flesh.
Big difference compared the MikroMir 1/48. Would be nice if SBS models also went for a 1/48 version.

bughunterAll what I have seen from S.B🤔. was that nice.
Another hope is Clear Prop, but until now they provide in 1:48 only a new decal sheet for the MikroMir kit.
