I`ve tried to simulate the effect of the varnished veneer using decals and very diluted paints. I`ve failed the veneer decals I used were too dark. Fortunately there are 2 wings in the kit so I`ve sprayed a white undercoat on the second one and later put a thin layers of the purple and blue. Later I painted the streaks using a brush and diluted acrylic paints and sealed it with Future. I`m  rather satisfied with the effect. I post some pics from Aerodrome of varnish trials on veneer and the picture of the Fokker replica I used for reference. In my picture blue differs (due my lack of photo taking skills)  from what it looks like in reality, actually its shade does match the picture of the varnish trials  posted below.

The wing looks great! Very similar to the colors I ended up with, as well as the method you used!

The streaking on the wings is amazingly good, Filip, and from what I see you have
the colours pretty much right on.  Well done!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hi xmald.

The streaking it's looking great and the colours seems to be quite on the spot imho.

Very nice indeed.

Cheers

Nice work Filip! It's all coming together very well. Progress on my own EV is stalled for a short while as I plough through student assignments but your work gives me great encouragement.

Best wishes

She's coming together beautifully, Filip!  The wing streaking is truly brilliant.

Yeah... and pushing alright.

The tail it's fantastic. Can hardly wait to see that wing in her place, that model it's going to be a beauty.

I`m really glad you like and thanks all of you for kind remarks! Nigel I know what you mean students` assignments aren`t as mesmerising as model building, I`ve got a nice pile of them to be checked too.
Spandaus are Karaya`s - I really like them! As you can see I`m reaching the point of the final countdown - fixing the wing.

Filip,
   Lovely work, your detail is outstanding, looks more like 1;32 then the challenging smaller 1:48 Scale. The last photo shows it all................... Looking forward to the "grande finale"!
