Uncarina Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Excellent work as usual! You’ve brought the monotone finish to life, and I love how those rivets look. Cheers, Tom MARU5137 and IainM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Thanks Kev On 10/22/2022 at 3:40 AM, denders said: Okay, so I'm not a know it all about German aircraft from the period. What is that on the underside of the fuselage? I'm guessing some sort of radar? Was it for spotting other aircraft or perhaps an early radar altimeter? @denders it was more of a locating antenna......I believe it wasn't very successful at all according to what I've read On 10/22/2022 at 4:13 AM, D.B. Andrus said: An absolutely stunning build. The glossy weathering looks a perfect foil to the matt finish. Cheers, Damian PS I'm curious..what did they did about the maintenance stencils on black finishes? Most Luftwaffe a/c had them all over the place. Maybe not night fighters, though. Another on those "mysteries" that pop up frequently regarding esoteric subjects. Thanks Damian @D.B. Andrus From what I've read, it depended.... Some airframes were re-stencilled in red, but most of the more unimportant stencils were merely painted over On 10/22/2022 at 4:28 AM, Out2gtcha said: Lovely paint work! The small differences in sheen and tone are readily noticeable but not in your face by any means. Well done Thanks Brian, much appreciated 20 hours ago, Dpgsbody55 said: Looking very good indeed.

Cheers, Tom Thanks Tom, much appreciated. Yes, those rivet sets look very nice indeed thanks to HGW. Quite a subtle, but noticeable visual element.

Alain Gadbois Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Brilliant! I very much like the overall effect of the rivets, and the appearance of the black finish. The b&w photo tops it off beautifully! Alain MARU5137 and IainM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
