Lovely work matey,

I have come to expect and receive nothing less.

 

Regards,

[Troy Molitor]

Oh nice.  She now has some color.  Nicely done.  

[scvrobeson]

That's one heck of an update John!  Looks really good with the paint applied.

Thanks guys!

 

Here is the mottling applied to the fuselage sides.

 

I did get a little bit of hairspray chipping on the wing roots to materialize.

 

The underwing markings were sprayed using custom-cut masks.

 

In order to increase the contrast between the underlying camo and the white overspray, I decided to increase the mottling.  Now I need to figure out which markings would go over the white overspray and which ones were retained from the original scheme.

looking good

Just think, you’re going to cover up 98% of this nice work John.  Weak attempt at a little humor.  I’m looking forward to seeing the white applied 

[Thunnus]

Thanks guys!  And yeah, all of this stuff gets covered up eventually by the white.  I made some concessions like not doing the full pre-shade on the top but otherwise, it is a fully complete scheme.

Looking awesome!!

[Thunnus]

Some of the upper surface markings have been painted.  The double chevrons and the black tulip are definitely after the white but I'm not sure about the tail swastika.

Still following along with this as I have the same kit to do in the same markings from the AIMS sheet and like you trying to work out what markings are from the under camouflage and which ones were added after the white coat.

Yes!  One could argue that the upper surfaces were completely covered in white and then broken up with grey streaks afterwards.  In some ways, that would be much simpler to execute.

Excellent build and paint job, Sir!

About the yellow "V" ID: according to regulations the bands should extend to the wing upper surfaces. See the entry for 21 September in the link below. But that does not mean the plane you are modeling followed regulations.

HTH, Richard

Given that the reference photos show the balkenkreuz was before the white I reckon you'd be safe to assume the hakenkreuz was too.

Started making a little more progress on the G-14 since my other builds are waiting for items stuck in the postal system.

The resin exhaust pipes have been painted.
