Wow Aghis, its wonderful! Very nice, the way you "bleached" the camo! Did you use aftermarket wheels? It looks a little bit like that. Very nice work, really!!! 🙂

Thank you Holger, I am pleased that you like it, especially since it was an old neighbour of yours. I used the Quickboost wheels and the Aires cockpit. For the weathering I used various lighter mixes of RLM 70 & 71 and oils. Glad you like it 🙂

I ordered a set of Aires-Wheels for my "Baby", the rest becomes OOB. Did you have problems with the front air-intake? It seems to me that i have to sand and fill there a lot...

Oh yes! Fill and sand and spray and then all over again... also covered the leading edge with thin aluminium foil. I will post some detail shots in couple of minutes, take a look...

Also the supercharger intake grill is not good at all, I made it from thin plastic strips (11 grilles I think) .

The prop! Wonderful weathering on the prop! I cant take my eyes from this photo! How did you do it? Hairspraymethod? Chipping with a pencil? Its no drybrush, or ?

Or sprayed first silver, then the colour and then chip the colour with a hobbyknife?

Kind of you Holger! Alclad aluminium sprayed on gloss black base, followed by RLM70. Then just scratch the paint off using a toothpick ar something similar and... voila! Alclad is quite resistant to abuse.

The next order at my modelstuffsupplier contents alclad at all! Its really the best metalcolour, i know! But i didnt knew that Alclad is that resistant to a rough modeler-behavior! 🙂

not my scale, but noble noble, I would be interested, what's better, Eduard or Trumpeter?

Definately Eduard! But there are some minor fittingproblems at the cowling. And the wingfit is even not so good...
