Looks great!
For small parts with brass or copper metal colours, I paint them silver or aluminium first, then use copper, brass or bronze -somehow these last 3 are more transparent then the first 2 and it gives a (to me) pleasing effect -even with the brush. :)

Thank you, everyone.


Nice looking paint, Przemol.  I wasn't sure what Mark was referring to with his comment.  Glad he clarified. But who can say exactly what the colors should be?

Indeed, who can? :) And these colours will be further modified with shading and later covered with satin varnish, so the colour intensity will change, too.

Yes, brush painting is apparently problematic due to the semi-transparency. But I noticed no problems when airbrushing, especially using the Metal Color Vallejo paints. Model Color Vallejo Brass is a differnt story, though. I wish they would add this color to Metal Color series.

Airbrushing and decalling basically completed. Now for some shading and... the final assembly!

Hi Prez:  I see now as it's all coming together.  It's really looking the business alright.  The thin line on the upper wing is nice and crisp and sets off the camouflage nicely.  Outstanding as per usual Prez.

Continuing to look Beautiful Przemol. I Like the subtle rib shading. There but not overdone!

Hi Przemol! Excellent work as always! How did you fix the clear parts on the upper wing ?

Regards Jörg

Thank you.

Regards Jörg

After some testing on concave and convex surfaces I gave up the Clearfix and used tiny blobs of a gel CA glue - on the concave underside three dots at the centre and on the convex upperside - three at each edge - at the trailing and leading edges. A bit tricky and not fully clean work, but quite acceptable. I managed to avoid the CA mist on the transparent areas.
