1950s Jet Age - Progress

Nothing overly mind blowing in this post, but just a quick picture of my painting progress for my 1950s jet project. Thus far I have the basic paint schemes applied to the planes. 

I used Vallejo Aluminium for the J 29 Tunnans and Vallejo Silver for the MiGs, although it is not that noticeable of a color difference between the two. I also used Vallejo on the FJ-4s, going with Light Gull Gray for the upper surfaces and Insignia White for the undersides. The Tunnans have a band of Foundry Bavarian Cornflower Blue (Shade 73A as the base and then coat of Shade 73C) around the intake.

Next will be to add a thin red band around the jet intake of the Furys, and then decals (which are on their way from Flight Deck) which are mostly national insignia, but also lettering (MARINES) for the American fighters and numbers for the MiGs.

I might try to source some sort of squadron markings for the Furys, even though it would not be the correct squadron, but as this project is hypothetical anyway, I guess that does not really matter much!
