That is a work of art, Wolf.  Very nice.  The RLM 79 coverage is smooth.

 

'All the fasteners for the air deflector shields where covered with small silver decal dots '

Did you punch them out or buy them as is?

 

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mark

Hello Mark,

 

The small fasteners were done using both punched and and bought. I found that I wasn't getting as clean a result with the ones I was punching out. I wound up using the fastener decals for the canopy of a 1/48th Arado Ar-234B. I think they came from either Aeromaster or Superscale.

 

The RLM 79 paint was applied in two very thin coats to prevent it being too thick and to minimize any flaking while bending the lead wire in to shape.

 

Cheers,

Wolf

There is no mistaking your craftsmanship Mr. Buddee...could have spotted it through a fog.

This is the best looking 32nd scale radial bar none. :clap2:  :clap2:  :clap2:  :clap2:  :bow:

 

Thanks Bill, very kind compliment! Much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Wolf

Thank-you Carl. It was your and Paul's build of this kit that inspired me to get this model in the first place. I'm lookin' forward to seeing yours done soon eh?
