Thanks for the kind comments Dave

Yesterday I started with the primer which lead to pre-shading and that ended up with everything getting a coat of nice red paint !
For the primer I used Tamiya Neutral Grey followed by pre-shading with Tamiya Dull Red in their lacquer line of paints . The Red I used Tamiya Pure Red form their lacquer line as well . This was heavily thinned and built up many layers some areas more than others .

I had no time to notice you started this build and it's already close to completion!

Very well done.

Decals are on , detail painting is done and clear coated ! Not much left to go now other then some weathering and final assembly . Prop has it's laminations sprayed , prop painted and sealed with clear . Still have the prop logo's to apply and weather the prop boss .

Alexis, I like that your doing the "as delivered" scheme of 425/17 with the Eisenkreuz instead of the more commonly later version in which Von Richthofen was killed.

Lovely progress, Alexis! The markings are looking sooo good! Regards, Marc.

Thanks guys ,

Almost got her beat today ! Little more weathering to go before final assembly . Might have this button up tomorrow if everything goes well !

For the weathering I used Flory's Grime wash and for the underside I used Flory's Black clay wash and the cowl got a bit of black as well . I had problems fitting the guns and the ammo feeds need to be trimmed down to fit . Don't recall having to do this one the last one I built , but oh well
