Looking good, Rowan. Is the decal set you're using any particular pilot?

Best wishes,

Cheers Andy and Gary

I appreciate the kind words.

@ Gary - the colour scheme is for Friedrich Eberle. I need to add an overspray of RLM 76 on the fuselage - and the overpainted chevron looks a bit small at the moment. But it's nice just to be painting again.

All the best

Hi again

Jeez - is it almost a month since I last posted?! In my defence, your honour, I cite a lot of distractions at work and on the workbench.

Anyway, to reassure Andy and Jan that I haven't forgotten this beauty, here are a couple of shots from this evening of the decals starting to go on:



They really are snuggling down superbly into the delicate embossed rivet detail:



All the best

Rowan,
Looks fantastic! We rarely do it, but sometimes it's nice to see a plane in factory fresh condition.

Cheers Gary

True, but with its overpainted fuselage markings, this Gustav must have seen a fair bit of service, so my build won't be looking this shiny for long. Once I've finished the decals and sealed them, I'll get on with some weathering.

All the best

No need to worry, Rowan. I like em' weathered, too.
