Kit decals performed well on that corrugated wing and the lozenge looks great.

Not really Steve.
As expected the decals cracked over the corrugated surface, despite taking care.
Several coats of setting solution were required, including slicing the inevitable air blisters then more solution.
Any visible hairline cracks remaining were painted to match,

Hi all,
One dirty ground attack Junkers J.1.
'Flory' Dark Dirt fine clay wash then sealed with 'Alclad' Light Sheen (ALC311).
Now to apply the metallic wear by dry brushing,

Hi all,
I've dry brushed the metal corrugations of the wings, fin, rudder and tail plane, plus the struts, to give an effect of paint wear over Duraluminium.
The fin support struts, tail skid and aileron control rods have also been added.
The lower wing and struts are fitted as is the engine.

Now onto the fitting of the upper wing,

Mike

Really lovely balanced weathering. The dry rushing really makes it all pop.

Hi all,
Ask me how I Know  >:(
The upper wing, although hollow, is still a relatively heavy and large piece of the model.
As such, when attached to just the four outer struts, it will move and twist until the four inboard struts are fitted, which will make the fit of the wing more rigid.
Until then the upper wing can easily shear away from the four outer struts!!
Therefore it’s best to restrain upper wing movement as much as possible for the remaining construction of the model.
I used sponge packing pieces inserted between the wings, held in place by elastic bands around the wings and packing.

Great progress. The weathering is perfect for a ground attack machine. Your decaling and subsequent repairs are excellent. Good advice on the wing attachment process. Thanks!!

Hi all,
The Junkers J.1 model is now complete apart from the propeller and exhaust stack, which are on their way from the Ukraine.
Here are the figures to accompany the aircraft.
I just have a refueling drum to finish.

As usual I'll post completed shots once the model is on its display base,

Several years ago you inspired me to paint a figure and then nothing more happened on the figure front despite a fairly good result. I should really get back to adding figures to finished builds. Looking forward to completion.
