Many thanks for your kind words!!
I think I`m going to leave the CDL parts as they are without the yellowish tint.
Xan, thanks for the photo! I`m using this G.4 for reference extensively!
Best regards
Filip

It is going to be a beauty. No doubt!
Are you going to leave the engine cowlings bare metal or are you going to add some yellowish paint to fit the CDL?
All the best

Great progress, Filip!
And I would follow Xan's advice, do not change the colour.

I am with Xan and Prez - leave the wings as they are. But at the end of the day it is your choice.

Great Job, Filip! Especially the CDL wings, subtle shading and shine through effect 👍

Thanks for your advice! I will certainly follow it and leave the CDL as it is now.

It is going to be a beauty. No doubt!

Borsos I`m going to paint them - I was just testing the metal paint ;)

As promised  you didn`t have to wait long for the next update ...
I`ve fixed the engine nacelles and some minor details. I`m really impressed by the PE (I know I`ve said that already but...) Espiecially these tiny bits for the tail booms are great. Now I need to finish shading and painting of the upper wing. I hope to start adding the rigging soon  ;D ;D Finally ;)









Best regards
Filip

Wow, Filip!  Spectacular update!  You're right.  Those PE bits really set this kit apart.  Amazing detail.  Your painting is very impressive, as well.  Brilliant work, my friend.
Cheers,
Bud

Wonderful work on this model so far. Its now beginning to look like the real thing - especially the booms and skids. Looking forward to the next update.
