After a long break I reactivated the project; unfortunately I lost during construction the cowling face and had to wait replacement of Eduard. Now the plane is ready for the first coat of paint.

All precut masks have an excellent fit. 🙂

Off white as main coat finished. Very satisfied with the shininess. 🙂

It’s stunning what you can see on the picture (more than “bare” eyes)!! So you can see that I still to do something on the edges.

Underside of the wings as test object “how works the removal or the carrier film”.
Result: it works excellent. Only on the small areas I had to do fix tiny red errors.

Decaling is after 3 days completed. Fortunately Humbrols H174 match 100% the red of the decals.

Your canopies always turn out so well, Bernhard.
Do you dip them or prepare them in some way?

Good morning Lochsa. Thx for your praise. As usual I don't use fluids like Future. Eduards clear parts are perfectly done, thin, distortions free so I used them without adds or extras. Applied Eduards masks, airbrushed first coat in light grey (semimatt = important), second coat with off white and at last yellow (both semimatt).

Very precise indeed.
There is quite a big gap at the horizontal stabilizer between the fixed part and the control surfaces. Is it intended that way?

Moin Michael. Es war nur für die Dauer der Lackierung: damit die Farbe (besser) an die Kante kommt. Der Spalt ist inzwischen weg. 🙂

Thank you Michael, Stefan and Alec. By the way: this kit contains also decals with removable carrier film. I recommend to wait with this task about 12 hours until the "decal paint - coat" hase settled. It's a bit tricky to lift off an edge of the carrier film but I used an old scalpel with a round tip (old = blunt = sanded with 1500 grit SP).

Ahh beautiful overall look, the usual high-end paintjob, these great decals look like they've been painted, together they make a very realistic looking
surface- texture. 👍

Der Bausatz macht es einfach so ein schickes Modell auf die Räder zu stellen. Bernhard kann das mit links. Der Spiegel auf dem Cockpitdach, den machts Du auch noch? 👍

a very clean and precise build. Even makro proof. But maybe there is a bit of room for optical improvement at the exhaust stack.

Thanks for the nice comments.
By the way: this is the advantage if you all sit in the front row: you see everything much better🙂!
I forgot the mirror and I had no desire at the exhaust. I'll do tomorrow, I promise🙂

As "promised" I added the forgotten mirror and a little bit grain on the exhaust tube. 🙂
