THX Neil! Yes, it is nice to do some Jabo version every now and then!
@Neuling: I owed you, your dioramas are a class of their own!
I am not very "social" and don't spend many time on the newwsfeed, I'm sorry if I often don't notice the work of others

I must say this is one of the best paint jobs I have seen. Just excellent realism. Thanks for sharing Andrea 👍

Thanks Michael, the weathering (light or heavy depending on the subject) to me is what bring a model alive and if you found it convincing it means that I have reached my goal! Thank you very much

This is my second take at the S.H. kit: I did't take any in progress photos but the build was uneventful and OOB except the Barracudacast wheels and the ETC with bomb from AZ spares.
Black 6, JG insignia and inscription came from the Kagero "Battle of Britain vol. III" Topcolors (Cartograph) wich was my only reference because I couldn't find any imagine of this airplane.
I used the kit's insignia and few stencils needed ,with the decal seatbelts posed on a piece of tissue paper soaked with Future and let to dry: I am not 100% satisfied with it and will try a few more way to obtain an acceptable rendition, even if for now it is better than the decals alone.
just to know, S.H. decals are printed by Eduard and I removed the film only from the first of the two parts swastika, leaving it on on all the others: it is REALLY thin and invisible and I dont feel the need to take it off every time.
Colors are Tamiya mixed as per brand's instruction, highly diluted and sprayed freehand onto pre-shaded and paneled white polished primer.
All the weathering is done with oils and some airbrushing for the exhaust staining.
