[Wurger]

Or something like that... However the modeller used a little bit too dark paints for the scale, I think.

thanks mate ,i will try again replacing that colour

[Wurger]

[woljags]

i had to mix this colour to match your photos Wojtek,what do you think

[Wurger]

That's it Bob. Now she is looking great. What about re-painting of these fin+rudder tips?

[woljags]

ok will do i missed those

[Wurger]

Be careful. There are these red bands.

[woljags]

rudder tips now redone plus i've given it another coat of clear gloss varnish to fill any marks in the paintwork and seal the markings,pics to follow shortly

[Wurger]

Well done Bob.

[woljags]

the red bands are painted on,to get the period look for the tail markings i used 2 small Finnish rondals ,painted out the blue cross and then once dry added the german marking of the time

[Wurger]

A good idea Bob. These swastika markings looking like decals made in a factory.

[Wurger]

To compare your first attempt and the second one to the B&W picture. It can be clearly seen that the difference between the RLM61 Dark Brown and RLM62 Medium Green tonalities is noticed barely ( pic 3 and 4).Contrary to that the difference in the first shot isn't that we can notice in the B&W picture.

That's looking good Bob.

[woljags]

thats a good way of checking the colours are right Wojtek,never thought of copying into black and white to see the contrast ,good job
