Painting started with the V1 undersides in RLM 65 and the ramp sections given an initial hand-painted coat of Dunkelgelb to ensure it went into all the recesses. The loading areas and piston have an initial coat of natural steel which will be over painted, as have the support trestles which have been coated in RLM 70, Schwarzgrun. The concrete blocks were painted in Smoke, to give some depth, followed by IJN Grey, US Dark Grey, Deck Tan and Light Grey to give variation. Although they look bright in the photo they will be toned back using Revell Mud Green weathering powder.
