Hi everything is very beautiful but before painting you need to see a photo of a real aircraft well or at least the work of fellow modelers I about the frame of the cockpit most of the frame is inside the cockpit and should have a different color .if offended sorry but such a scale obliges

Thank you for your insights. Not offended, always appreciate polite tips from other modelers. I always get familiar with the history and real planes before and during the projects. With books, internet and other projects. Although I've noticed that there are so much variations with other projects, so it's hard to tell what is authentic and what is "artistical freedom". This kit was particularly difficult. There were lots of issues regarding realistic plane model. Engine cowlings, shape of "boots" etc. Also I wasn't sure about the painting chart. Some of the colors seemed a bit odd. But I couldn't find out all the facts. With the canopy frame, I know that I should consider also the inside of it. I normally paint it. Although this time I didn't had a mask set with interior masks. Considered a while of painting it free hand or using liquid mask. But I decided to not paint it, because if you use masks outside, lines are so neat and sharp, you immediately notice any discrepancy to inside paintings. Or then it is just me and my shaky hand 😅. And when canopy is closed, it's not so easy to see this issue. So it was a compromise decision from a beginner modeler.

Hi you did not understand me at all .I myself very rarely paint the inside of the glazing even when there are masks I meant that it is on the ju-87 that the non-power elements of the glazing outside are not painted at all and are inside the glazing and accordingly have the color of the interior of the cabin .I do not know whether it was possible to explain or not. In my albums there is a ju-87 there will be seen what I am talking about
