Here the undercarriage of the white/red "Komet" D.Va.
The wooden undercarriage fairing was repainted in red and chipped immediately afterwards with some warm water and a stiff-haired brush.
Oil traces were represented with Tamiya "Smoke".
All metal parts on the landing gear were painted with RLM02. Also the struts.
After that, the finer details like the safety wire, suspension and other small details were painted with a brush.
The struts were then airbrushed with matte white.
Further fine scratches and paint chips on the white painted struts were removed with fine steel wool.
But very carefully, so that only fine scratches are created and the RLM02 base color becomes visible under the white.
The wire eyelets for the landing gear rigging are also glued in place, I used 0.09mm silver wire here.
The wire was wound around a 0.1mm drill bit.
That's it again for today, more next weekend.
