Nice detail, is that all in the kit or have you added extras to the cockpit?

Thank you @Edouard, it's all in the kit; only exceptions are the wires in the main landing gear legs and, of course, the HGW decals for the Heinrich Bär scheme

Will have to check out a model by my name's sake, have been meaning to for a while ☺️

Thank you Kyle; the tool is starting to show some age, but it is still a great kit

I am quite sure you'll overcome any tooling issues. Look forward to seeing it come along.

I'm going to get confused following these two Trop builds, but I can't wait to see the results.

😄 Welcome, Nathan; I keep them both on the table and take care to separate the pictures of them

Thank you Kyle - indeed, this color is very nice, I never painted any plane with such a tone; moving fast forward, only the RLM 04 remaining to close the painting, then RLM 02 touch ups and forward to the decals!!! 🙂

Thank you mates; indeed, I almost never use primer and also never wash the model before painting, but these paints are really fragile, when compared to Gunze or Tamiya; also more than MRP; the most resistant colors I know are the Hataka ones! And thank you for the warning about the decal solutions @Roland. 👍

Oh! that sucks. I often apply a very thin coat of Clear (mat in my case) after the fisrt color coat is apply & before applying masking tape for extra protection. At least, in your case the iron cross must be lose to mask the whole area

Well, I'll correct it, no problem, and then, as you say, the cross will cover most of it 🙂

Excellent work Ricardo! I am intrigued by the HGW decals, I have never used those before and am considering getting a few sets.

My first time also; technically they are nice, I'm just a bit disappointed with the pixelized effect, noticeable on the curves, but they do settle very well indeed; being the replication of a sprayed squiggle, I would prefer that the color was irregular, but I'm trying to do that by painting on top of them

Seems like the paint is fighting you at every step, Ricardo.
Still looking great!

Thank you mates; @Ben, I would say it's a combination of the paint being fragile and the kit being dirty: I never wash and almost never prime the models - it works fine with Tamiya, Gunze, MRP or Hataka… not so much with AKRC, evidently… 😊

Thank you for your comments mates, starting now with the model decals, let's see how it turns up... 🙂
