That’ll do it - and after you have used your playing pieces for a while, you’ll see if you need to spray a new layer of matt varnish.
2-3 layers - each layer thinly sprayed - and dry 24 hours between each layer.
You units will last a lifetime:+1:
Accurate Miniature Equivalents for Custom Painting your 1940 E&P

Good idea for the Hellcats… Now I just need to buy an original copy of the game (I only have the board :|).
On another note:
Three uniforms for the US infantry - Western European (olive drab), Mediterranean Desert, and Pacific Marine.
What specific Marine uniform do you guys think? Khaki? ‘Tattered’ green?
tattered green

Very nice work I’m painting my pieces as well but they look not as nice as yours. :-( Are you doing the US pieces soon? I would love to see them. How much time have you put into painting this set so far? Its taking forever to paint mine.

@Brain:
I want to see some P-40 Warhawks with the Flying Tigers paint.
*See first page - the single Chinese Fighter (has the shark face accurately there, but not a good pic of it). The Flying Tigers fought with the Chinese, and one unit accurately represents that… All A&A variants have only one fighter starting in China. Maybe I’ll do one with US markings for my 1942 and original board for the sake of completion, but no more than a single unit.
I’ve toyed with the idea of doing 1/2 P-38s and 1/2 Hellcats… Not sure yet. Don’t want them to look too similar to UK and ANZAC units. We’ll see - that hurdle is a few weeks off.Oh yeah I forgot about those. I am sure I will like anything you do.

Speechless.
There are no real words to convey this awesome. You’ve even actually managed to make me find my old pre-Dreadnought models and start painting them.
I can’t wait till you finish. :-D

I can’t wait until he finishes my set :-D

I want to see those U.S pieces.
Come on! Show me your war face! -

I would think that the roundels would be the longest part of the paint job.

Yet, he seems to pull it off almost flawlessly.

It’s about a third of the total paint time.
