Will be interested to see how you get on with this Mike

When I were a lad I built the Frog kit.
Normally it was a question of making things fit even if they didn't.
Even back then when I had no concept of bad kits mine was bloomin' awful!
It was a loss of innocence! :lol:

I have the ICM SB-2 Spanish Civil War kit and approve of the markings you have chosen! :thumbsup:

ps That colour profile looks like overall sand which seems a tad unusual
What do the instructions say?

I can't remember what I said this morning Mike, have no chance of recalling something from last year! :lol:

I see from that conversation ICM agree on the overall sand!
Still seems odd but what do I know
Will see if I can find some more evidence as the second profile has the same aircraft in green
