A coat of white primer first

some pre-shading

RLM72 with some post-shading

Some maskol is applied randomly than some highly diluted darker tones
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/1/5/6/154156-13937-37-720.jpg)
I repeat the process with some lighter tones
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/1/5/7/154157-13937-88-720.jpg)
the result is pretty realistic though we cannot see it very much on the photo

Cockpit is now finished. Always a little bit tricky to get all those Aires resin parts inside the two half of the fuselage, but after many dry test fits, it finally ok.

I used some old Aeromaster paints that I had. I started by a pre shading with RLM 66 and then a coat of RLM 02.

Great cockpit. I'm loving float planes at the moment especially the ones from the 20's and 30's, beautiful.

The Arado is almost done. Now I will switch to the HPH catapult.

short update with the carriage of the catapult. Next step is a coat of primer and then Kriegsmarine grey

Thanks you guys, it was not so easy to adjust the airplane on the catapult. You have to be very precise
