Great paint job. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to press the decals into the corrugated metal. Fantastic build all the way around.

Great progress and nice coloring. Besides of not Mining the Junkers D. I too much, I think it?s the surface that holds me back to build this Kit.

Thank you, gentlemen.

And here, finally is my surprise.  ;)

The Baender will be red with black-and-white band.

Clearly you're determined to make this a good looking aircraft regardless of it's design.
Thanks,

Nice surprise - I am also going to do mine with a red fuselage (once I get round to it....). This is going to look very cool!

You won't be able to hide this anywhere! But then why would you?! Everything looks great!

Now the engine is mounted, and the rollover hoop and the gun blast protections. Very close to an end...

You chose an amazing paint job. Will you leave the engine open?

Very striking color scheme. I might use it on my 1/48 build.
Thanks,

The red fuselage looks fantastic, I wish I had done mine like that now.

Thank you, everyone.

I have never planned opening the engine on this one, and even though I am tempted now, it is too late - it would require some surgery of the kit parts.

Wow the red is striking! Haven't seen any built like this before! ...

Well, that is exactly why I opted for this variant. I do not like building models with markings which others do  ;)
