Thank´s mates. The paintjob is seems to be done but I am unsure if the preshading is still to strong and needs some rework. Coments regarding this topic are welcome.

The pre-shading is indeed prominent, but leave it as it is, chip her and you will have a nice worn and old warhorse.

Wow- I am completely stunned! Such a realistic long-time weathering, I guess, that´s the best I have ever seen! Congratulation Christian!

@Mike: Der Rechner, auf dem ich die Fotos speichere ist so alt und langsam, daß ich nicht wirklich Lust habe ihn zu benutzen. Deshalb mache ich zwar Fotos, lade diese aber nur von Zeit zu Zeit hoch.

A great, weathered veteran! Beautiful model, so well done. I love the white tail too. 👍. 🙂

Excellent work. I doubt that I could match the fantastic job you have done but I would suggest that the white identification markings are a little too weathered as they would have been on the aircraft a lot less time. The roundels are cleaner than the Allied identification markings yet the roundels would have been repainted along with the faded paint job. The white Allied identification markings would have been recently applied.

Thanks.
@Wilky: The book that eduard delivers with the kit show some pics that displa the weathering on the white surfaces very well. Especially the base of the fin shows severe wear of white color

Sensational job, the spinner looks great in the blue, and great weathering. Another Aussie build planned?

@Scott: Not yet because it is not my main subject. In this case Iwanted to build something different colored to the grey Bf 109 And Fw 190 I usually build
