Excellent progress, it's looking really good so far.

[Tim Mixon]

Just beautiful work!  The turned metal look is really well depicted.  The prop looks as if it were taken right out of the woodmill.

[Scaleber]

Thank you.

Your cowling is magnificent! How did you do it? / Ian

It is the same method which worked so surprisingly fine in my Taube build.

I missed that log. Amazing, many thanks / Ian

The colours are applied. Now for shading, weathering and wash.
And I am still debating if I like those pinky tyres or should I rather change them to light grey...

[uncletony]

Embrace the pink!

Nice work as ever...

[NigelR]

Yeah, why not, go pink! I have occasionally done pinkish coloured tyres although I tend to stick to grey these days.

Good progress here, looking forward to see the next stages.....

I'd go with the pink too, strictly for aesthetic reasons. That way the tires and that beautiful red-brown panel on the underside would provide some eye-relief, a couple of spots of color to break up all that grey & silver. Beautiful job, Prze.

I just realised I didn't comment when I caught yesterday's update! Another great batch of work Prze, well done my friend.

[kensar]

Very nice work, Przemol.  The metal parts came out brilliantly (pun intended).

[certainreasons]

As always, great work. What did you use for the grey/green?

[PrzemoL]

Thank you, everyone. I am getting more and more convinced to the pink

As always, great work. What did you use for the grey/green?

Grey green here is an approx. 1:1 mix of Vallejo Interior Grey Green 71.305 and Light Grey 71.050. Grey-Green itself was too greenish to my eye.

Back to this project after the RWD detour. Shading done, engine and cowling attached, the bits are ready for wash and weathering.

[KiwiZac]

Oh my, that cowling looks terrific Prze! I mean, the whole thing looks terrific but that first shot made me say "wow" in a very low and impressed voice.

[PrzemoL]

Thanks, Zac.

The wash complete and sealed,  the final assembly begun. Oh my, how much I like this stage!

[Tim Mixon]

Oh my. This is coming together splendidly.  Excellent paintwork and shading.  I like the light pink tone on the tires as well.  I recently saw natural butyl tires on a model T Ford in a local museum. They were still almost white, just a hint of yellowing. I imagine they would be effected by the ground color of whatever theater they were deployed.
