Andreas and Juan, thank you for visiting and commenting. Yes, keeping a tidy bench is not easy but my one had better times and I definetly need to remove something to gain the inner area, safer to avoid dropping pieces and tools on the floor  :-[

Closing to the end, but still needs a lot of retouching.













I promise a better location for pictures, when finished.

Beautifully done Giuseppe! Very nice shading on the wings and a very nice, clean build. The prop hub looks great in this colours.
Bye,
Manni

Lovely build all around! I hope I can do as well as you have. I do have a question and sorry if I missed it somewhere during your build: What brand of paint and what colors did you use for the green and brown and the undersides?

Thank you Manni and Rick. About the colours I did't mention them, sorry. Having no sure reference I tried to match at my best with colour profiles of Marc Chassard's book and the CSM instructon booklet so don't take them as real colours. My choice was the following:

Vert clair (light green) Mr. Hobby H58 interior green (I tried before with H303 green FS34102, but was unsatisfied and oversprayed with H58. It's looking slightly darker because of the undercoat but I like the final hue)

Marron (brown) Tamiya XF10 flat brown

Bleu clair (light blue) Tamiya XF23 light blue

Undercoat was flat white with black preshading for wing spars and ribs. Protective blue for metals, struts and contour tape is Tamiya XF18 medium blue.

I hope this can help, at least as a starting point.

That's one heck of a spinner!
Lots of colors on this one.

How many models do you have on that desk?

Terry, Edo and Ken, thank you for visiting and commenting. I know it's a shame but there are parts from some five models scattered on the desk and some more in the cabinet  ::)
As mood is coming up and down, strarts overnumber ends...

This has taken a major step forward Guiseppe. The wing, engine  and spinner are very impressive - in all the whole model is very impressive!
