Small steps, but important steps...

16 decals added and clear coats applied both before and after. Next would be some oils and general weathering and then I need to look at the rigging - maybe place an order with von Buckles. Oh, and inspired by Rick (RAGIII) I painted my first figure to go with the completed model... I quite pleased with the outcome, especially when you don't look at him in macro mode. /F

Looking great, you got the decals down really well, the figure has come out really well too.

Looking good! You are doing the same markings as the Pup I have under construction.

The decaling on the Pup is superb! Really looking Terrific. If this is your first figure it won't be long before you are a Master! I know what you mean about the Macro

Thank you all for your support!

Regarding the decals and their smoothness... remember that the only decals applied are the manufacturers logo on the struts and propeller and four "lift here" decals on the fuselage... the others are painted and very smooth!

I'm happy with the figure. Followed a tutorial on YouTube and adapted the suggested approach a little. One thing I found interesting in most of the tutorials I watched, was the lack of colour correctness displayed. Most of the artists simply started out with a base and then blended colours until it looked ok... Makes sense though, I believe.

Bjarne: I'm afraid so! I hope you are well in your isolation!

I have been catching up with this build - most impressive. I too am a fan of painting markings where possible - yours are truly superb. The figure is also very realistic.

Thanks Stephen!

The build slowed down a bit over my decision on "turnbuckles"... in the end I decided to stick with my tested monofilament and Bob's Buckles. This will, after all, only be my third model using this method and I didn't quite feel like trying something new this time. I am now waiting for the new micro tubes from Bob to arrive and in the meantime I've drilled the anchor points and made lots of eyelets. And today I installed some of the eyelets and then I put the landing gear together - almost...

Very nice!

Great stuff Fredrik, it's only a small detail I know but I love the wire and turnbuckle you added to the undercarriage.
