Hi Bob,

Yes, the mask are very easy to apply and you saved lot of time, more in this type of bombers that has lots of panels glasses.

That´s great Steffen, don´t let them in the box for a while

What's the point of interior canopy masks? Normally I apply exterior masks paint the interior colour, then the exterior colour. Does it look better if sprayed on the inside? The masks look good it is such a labour saver with precut masks. Keep up the good work.

Hi jaypee,

Yes, it´s true what you say. I used it because it had came with the kit, but they are no so important. You can use the method you mention, there isn´t any different

When the inside paint was dry I took out the masks,

And after this I put the glasses in their places,

Things are starting to come along nicely now Bob

Hi Daniel

great work, but it seems that the clear parts do not fit very well. Did you have problems with that?

all the best

Steffen

Looks good, Daniel. Serious masking task I had there.

I am looking forward to see it with some paint on it.

Thanks Bob for you comment

Hi Steffen, yes there is a little problem in the right side but nothing you can´t solve. The problem is not with the clear part but with the fuselage side, you have to press it a litlle to have a good fit

Hi Jesper and thanks. Soon you are going to see it painted

hello Daniel

I fear you do not have a good fit yet .. maybe my eyes are fooling me, but look here



It is possible that the picture overemphasizes the problem .. but as this is such a great project you might consider to reposition the canopy (or it fits that bad that this is already good).

all the best

Steffen

Hi Steffen,

Yes you are correct, perhaps I didn´t explain me in the correct way. What I mean is that I didn´t glue the clear parts definitively. I had only present then and now I have to correct the fit problem Thanks for the draw

o.k. my bad ... hope it fits all

cheers

Steffen

No I´m with the engines, I first put the nacelle cooling,

Then I continued with the aerodinamics profiles,

Daniel:
I just had a chance t look at this build thread. All I can say is Wow. That is a huge project and it is looking great. I admire your ability to stay focused

Thanks Taylor for your comments

I used a Tamiya scriber for the panels,

Well, now I´m beginig with the pre-shade. I used the airbrush for this with black paint and painted all the panels.

When the paint was dry I began painting the down side with RLM 65. I painted panel per panel not to loose the shadow efect,

Looks good, Daniel. Nice progress on this mammoth project. The preshading came out well.

Looking forward to see more.

Thanks Jesper

When the paint was completely dry I masked it,
