So, got the Crusader body sprayed up with RLM 71, looking pretty good. One of the side compartments fell off from insuficent glue, so I took the oportunity to show the contrast between the original USA Olive Drab and the new, darker main color.

Also, what color were radial antennas? I've seen some people paint them the body color and others as black. I know the ones I've installed are a bit thick (though they match the unused original ones on the sprues) and I intend to replace them once I get thinner wire for another kit, but for the time being they match the deco layout depiction in length and position. And they do block where the AA points but that's actually prototypical for the Mk. III.
