The wood and shading are really beginning to come into focus now! Continuing to look terrific!

Final step in painting wood grain without using oil paints.

I applied several layers of clear orange until I was satisfied with the result.

It is also possible to use clear yellow if you want a more pale result or ad brown if you want a darker result.

All in all, it took less than two hours to paint the fuselage. So this result can be achieved in one evening. I just didn't had the time to do the painting in one pass.

A model thrives on its overall impression and not on that every little disagreement over the original is hyped up as a disaster

It's a long time since my last post. But I am still in the buisness. (I did two other models for a magazine, which had priority)

The lozenge decals where added to the wings. Unfortunaley I ran out of these decals so now this comes again to a stop.

If anyone has informations where to get oldpropeller (wood&wire) 5 color lozenge decals ( upper and lower ) or can provide me with at least 2 cm of these decals, any information or help would be thankfully appreciated.

Looking very good indeed! I believe Nordland Models stocks wood&wire decals.

Loving this build and the care you are taking to achieve the woodgrain effect. I like seeing real modelling skills and ingenuity, especially in this classic scale.

Cheers

That is a super model - the wood effect is so realistic. Glad you are back with this and best of luck with the lozenge transfers.
