I absolutely love the way you?ve weathered your fabric on the wings & fuselage. So realistic, and convincing.
Cheers,

Thank You very much Joerg, Antonio, Przemo, Warren, Rick, Nigel and Gary!

Detail work goes on.




Details take their time. Letting washes dry sufficiently but also family affairs make these steps take longer than expected. But as I refuse to rush, I do not mind.

DAMNED, IT IS NOT. SHOULD BE FACING THE OTHER WAY.

 Thank you very much!

But I really could kick myself for not noticing that. I spend quite an amount of time looking in my references if the landing gear rigging had turnbuckles on the fuselage?s or on the wheel?s end, but I did not notice the moon facing the wrong end of the plane.



There are the decals with the lighter colored background left.

But a moon, for me , belongs to the dark night. Even more so if you add a lantern. And this blue looks way more like bright daylight. However, aesthetically, the lighter blue does not look that bad on the fuselage?s side. I will sleep a night before I decide what to do. . .

we have all done something similar at one time or another! Personally, I would go with the light blue. Do we know that the blue paint on all of the Markings matched up/came from the same batch? I would send you the dark version but they would take a while to get overseas!
Good luck No matter what you decide!

So sorry Borsos.  :'(  If it bothers you, I'd use the lighter blue decals. That's only my opinion thought, which is worth nothing really.
