Today i did some more work on the upper wing. Some painting had to be done, and also the balken crosses needed to placed on top of the upper wing 

After the lower wing balken crosses weren't very succesfull, you guy's can imagin that i was not very eager to start on this.

But, all wen't very well, and at the moment it's a succes.







Radiator, on the upper and lower side is done. And the aileron control horn's are placed and painted.







That's all for now folks.

Thank's RAGIII.

The tapes are a bit to white, so they will be flatten off with Tamiya smoke to give them a worn appearance. This is allready done to the horizontal stabelizer and the lower wing.

Hi guy's,

time for the next update: taking care of the fuselage.;)

first i wanted to try the Ushi wooden decals onto the fuselage, but, due to the very tiny details that are scattered on the fuselage, and the fine wooden lamels, i was afraid that i couldn't do the job properly.
So i decided to change the strategie, and i went for a wooden structure with oil's.

First i needed a other base coat, so for this i used Tamiya XF-59 Dessert yellow.





A nice layer of Tamiya gloss coat finnished the fuselage, and it was ready to receive the oil paint.

I didn't wanted the same color as the cockpit so i my choice feld on another shade, Talens Van Gogh Raw Umber.

I started with the underside of the fuselage, and this is the result:









For this technique i used a fin round brush to put some dot's of oil paint onto the fuselage. Then i use three different sizes of flat brushes to get the wooden texture. Trick is, that how more brushes you use how finer the texture will be. This is a very pleasant technique that allows you to make change in the pattern, and iff mistakes are made then to solve them.









That's all for now, thank's for watching:)

Danny,
   Your wood pattern is excellent, and very subtle, this is going to be spectacular when finished. Very nice work, keep it up!

The wooden fuselage is looking terrific! It is always great to see plastic turned into wood using oils! You have just the right touch,IMHO,
