Greetings gaboran.

For model paints in the Model Master range try an acrylic field drab for the olive streaking, enamel radome tan for the clear doped linen. Flat black and white of course. The lt. blue needs to be a hellblaü but lightened and a tinge of green added probably a drop or two of medium green. good luck.

Use the radome tan for the inside of the fabric for a "up-sun look" add some very very light green steaking for a "down-sun" look of the straking showing thru.

1)It is a plywood and spruce former that blends the fabric from the rectangular fuselage to match the curvature of the cowling

2) wood coloring

3) semi-gloss tending toward matt
