... profipack. I started working on this one when i was taking a rest from Uhu.
It's a good kit, with added PE set. there is some Fit issues, but nothing that a tad of putty couldn't solve. Here are the photos of it. It still needs a flat coat.

Engine:


Cockpit:


Painting done. I used Gunze paints, RLM04 for the band, RLM65 for the lower surfaces, and RLM70 & 71 for the upper wings and fuselage.


Decals:


Weathering: A wash of burnt umber, followed by a slight postshading with thinned black. The photos are a bit dark, but in reality the model isn't that dark.

Hi Gregax

It's looking excellent! The engine and cockpit are lovely and I really like the postshading - it brings the white areas of the national insignia to life.

All the best

Hi Gregax!

Looks great! Did you add the "extras" yourself or is this the profi-pack version? Anyway, that's a fantastic job!
