I would suggest leaving it as natural metal but the shine toned down a little, looking great so far.

Your wings look perfect to my eyes! The engine nacelles turned out beautifully and look great with the engine and prop in place in the photos!

Looking at your photos is re-assuring for me - I seem to have got most of the details right on my build! The interior is superb.

With reference to the panels on the wings I would leave them in natural metal as in all of the many photos that I have studied they seem to have been left unpainted. You could however indicate oil spillage/splattering on them and on the wing surfaces adjacent to them - something I could not do on my model.

Long time no see...
Fortunately for me I was able to return to the Caudron.
The engine nacelles - their metal parts are painted with XF 60 lightened up with XF2. The linen covered parts of the nacelles have been brushed with dry pastels, which made them more yellow. And here`s an extremely important question to all of you - should weather the rest of the plane with the pastels (to make them more yellow) or should I leave them as the bottom wing???

The engine cowlings are yet to be painted  ;)
I must admit that CSM and Edgar made a good job on the fittings and other PE bits of the kit. I fell in love with the bracing wire mountings (will make some close ups next time) they are a perfect fit and add so much to the model.
I hope to post some updates in much shorter time than this one  ;) ;)

PS. the pics just made me realise all the spots that still need some touch ups.









Best regards
Filip

Wonderful update Filip.  My 2 cents is leave as bottom wing, but you are the artist.  Looking forward to your next post.

Great to see you back on to this build Filip, you have done a superb job with the fuselage nacelle and the engine nacelle, the colours look excellent, and the wing is absolutely brilliant, very well done.

This pic of the  National Air and Space Museum's Caudron, who has not be repainted as far as I know shows that:



so metal color seems right!

Hi,

Hard to say from this pic angle all differences between linen &  wood/metal sides. But the latter one looks ok.
I would leave as it is if your intention is to reflect little usage of plane
good..good & more pics pls:)
