That is interesting, Djordje. The Do 22 is a little bit heavier, so I assume the floats were a bit bigger than the ones I am using.
Got the wings mounted, used a little Perfect Plastic Putty for the gap between the top of the fuselage and the wings.
Drilled holes in the tail and fuselage for the flying wires. Attached the E-Z Line to the bottom of the fuselage on one side, ran the Line through the horizontal stab, vertical stab, the other horizontal stab, and glue into the fuselage. The holes I drilled are a little too Big, will have to use a little putty.

Started the decalling, but ran into an issue…
The registration letters OY-ACA for the bottom of the left wing have to fit around the struts and wing fueltank details. I seperated the ACA, and that went down ok. Had a few issues with the Y - though. Trying to get the Y to fit around and in between the strut braces was a challenge. The major problem was that the O folded on itself and No amount of effort would see it usable. I am going to try using the 'remains' as a stencil and try painting it on…

The nose cone is slightly larger than the fuselage, so had to do a bit of sanding to get it to conform to the fuselage shape. Managed to knock off the pitot on the bottom of the fuselage, but will wait and finish the seam work before scratching a new one.
Got the pink primer. I like Tamiya Fine Primer, it goes on pretty good. Just sprayed it on the outer side of the wingtip tanks. Need to mask and spray the red.

I mounted the lower wing to the fuselage, but figured I would leave the top wing off for ease of painting.
I painted the horizontal stabilizers/elevators with Humbrol Metalcote. Let dry and then masked off the tips for the red.
Painted each wingtip with Humbrol 19 Red. Did three coats to get a nice deep red. Had a bit of bleed under the tape, so cleaned that up. Let it dry for a couple days and them masked the wingtips.
Painted the airframe with Humbrol Metalcote. Had to do a touch-up in a couple areas, so sanded with 4000 Grit and then sprayed another layer. Added the top-wing, and had to do a bit of putty-sand-repeat to get a good fit. Finished painting the entire airframe.
Was all excited to start decalling when I realized that the decals don't fit. They are labelled as 1/72, but seem closer to 1/61… Sent an e-mail to BS Modelle, and they are hopefully sending replacements.

Decals applied. Used numerous stencils and other markings from the spares box, and Royal Canadian Navy markings from AboveBelow Graphics.
This was originally going to be my entry in the 'Tarp' Groupbuild for the Just Making Conversation podcast. We were suppose to have them done and presented at Telford. Last year… Little late to the finish line, but pleased with the result.

Good things needs time 🙂
Don't worry Gordon, it's really a good result!

Moreno Baruffini
Great news! Eager to see it finished! 🙂

Lost the exhausts somewhere, replaced with a set from an Airfix Mk.IX in the stash. Highlighted the panellines with an Architect Pen, then a coat of Testors Dullcote.
