Hi!
I think it should be in oiled steel finish.
Btw how many decal sheets of swirls in total you used?
Thank you.

Cheers for your suggestion Pustota!
2 sheets is enough to complete the model with some spare swirls left...
Best regards
Filip

Hello Filip:

This is really an interesting scheme!  You are doing great work on this kit.  The decalwork alone is exceptional!  Looking forward to the next update.

Best

Thank you very much Mark!
The majority of rigging is completed. My Albie had a major accident in the meantime - wings, struts and all the plumbing went off as it hit my desk  :-[
I took a deep breath and managed to repair it.
Not much work left: to carve a prop, ailerons, wheels and some more weathering.

Best regards
Filip

I really like the look of this one, Filip -

This colour/marking scheme looks very striking - may have to have a go at this one myself in the future .............

You have done a magnificent job with the decal application Filip, it really makes it an extremely stunning model, and the propeller looks great, well done.
