Love the finish on those Spandaus. They look absolutely spot on.

Cheers  :)

Progress is a little slow at this stage as the wings need a fair bit of work to 'hide' the join lines along the leading edge thanks to the corrugated surface. It's do-able - just fiddly and time consuming. Starboard wing is on though - port is on the menu this evening after dinner....

Have to agree with my Amigo, Gary!  Awesome is the word that springs to mind!

That's some of the best looking leather I've seen on  model.

The plane itself is still not my cup of tea, but there's great workmanship all around this kit. Very nice!

Thanks guys. Seat is just simply a red brown acrylic base with red brown oil paints gently 'stippled' on followed by a very light wash when dry.

Initially I was going to go for the all over alumimium scheme and while that would certainly be easier, I have changed my mind and will be doing the scheme on the box cover. Bascic colours are ready to go....

XF18 and XF1 are mixed as per instructions for the Light Blue undersides of the wings. Some tonal variation was also added by including a little more blue or white to the mix. When dry, two strips were masked off where the wings join the fuselage and painted white....

Leading wing edges are masked using Panzer Putty before the upper surfaces are sprayed with XF71 - white or black added for tonal variation...

After applying more putty, X16, XF52 and XF2 are mixed in equal amounts and applied via AB. The putty is used as the camo was applied by brush on the real thing so no soft edge demarkation lines....

Gary,
    Your camoflage looks great.  You know, you're the only person I've seen use Panzer Putty on a build blog besides me since I bought the stuff.  Sometimes it's very handy.
