Thanks Dancho For that cover I use aluminum foil, self-adhesive with gloss paper base for AC systems. You can find it at local hardware store Cheers my friend.

monthebiff Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I am really loving this build and your attention to detail I'm intrigued to why you have foiled the fuselage spine and interesting to know your reasoning on this, looks very good though.

Regards Andy Hi Andy well I foiled because with time the seam-line after painting get old and after years became visible. But when is protect with foil everything will be fine The gears, wheels, props and Jumo engine are painted and ready to be installed : Aaand just finished the priming of the plane - two and half hours just for the upper side of the monster . . . Maybe next weekend I'll continue with the lower part, because think I will destroy my air-compressor Cheers friends.

ShelbyGT500 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Hi friends It is time for painting - first black primer and pre-lighning of every one of the panels. After that start to paint the aluminum spots - where the chips will be. Wet the spots with some water and cover with salt. And finally cover with rlm 65 and its shades. At the end remove the salt to reveal the chips: And that was for now. Thanks for watching as ever and Cheers guys Dany Boy, Kais, Out2gtcha and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyGT500 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Well it is time for the upper camo-painting - typical German camo - broken glass with rlm 70/71. Paint the upper wing tips with white and the lower side with white, green and red Imitating some weathering chips with a salt, also paint the walking zone with yellow stripes : Thanks for watching as always Cheers friends.

Gazzas Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Beautiful work! Love the idea of foiling the spine! I think I may try to incorporate that into a build, soon. ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT500 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Thanks guys Continue with engine mounting and test fit of the propeller, also paint the registrations on the fuselage and wings: And finally polished the paint and it is ready for clear varnish And as always Thank you for watching my friends.
