Now i'm fighting with surface, as the glossy lacquer from gunze i used made me some nasty jokes. It is going to be fine i hope.

Slowly but forward. There is still few details to add, but those will be done after Sidolux (polish substitute of Future, acrylic for flor), and markings. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/shivadog/109G4/DSC_2620.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/shivadog/109G4/DSC_2618.jpg http://i6.pho...

Hello, thanks for all so nice comments. Mottling was looking nice but was not so similiar to the plane picture, what do You think about it? Now it is more like, but still need some improvement. There will be some overpainting of fuselage part where german cross was. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/...

Started with upper surfaces. Lifecolor RLM 75 on the panel lines and lighter between. Lifecolor RLM 74 on the panel lines (similiar it was with RLM 75 at the beginning). Some spots ready. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/shivadog/109G4/DSC_2143.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/shivadog...

Time for blue RLM 76 First dark version of my RLM 76 on the lines (Lifecolor 76 + blue + Agama 76), after main my RLM 76 beetwen lines (Lifecolor 76 + blue), then some improvement with dark one, and finally lightened with white in some places. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/shivadog/109G4/DSC...

What was broken now is repaired: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/shivadog/109G4/DSC_2027.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/shivadog/109G4/DSC_2023.jpg I did paint also yellow on the engine hood. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/shivadog/109G4/DSC_2024.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com...
