Hi all, here is another update.I have decided to finish the g-4 then the g-2. I have had issues with silvering on the upper wing Italian markings. The first thing I tried was coating them with Johnson clear then cutting the silvered area with a modelling knife blade. A coat of matt varnish. Better but still silvering! So I touched up the silvering with paint another coat of varnish The exhausts have been painted humbrol 70. The weathered with grafite and ground black pastels For the underwing mg 151s I have decided to have one open so have used eduard's underwing gun pods

It's my tablet changing words again. At lest that's my excuse

Hi all, the painting has continued... the g-2 has had the rlm 80 wavey lines sprayed on using a badger 200 g fitted with a fine tip. The lines could do with been a bit darker not sure if I should go over them again. The Italian green has been sprayed over the gray on the over painted German national markings And finally the kit decals have started to be applied Thank you for looking, comments and feedback welcomed. Nick

Hi all, the painting continues. The g-2 has had its national marking applied balkenkreuze (kit decals) swastika (xtradecal). Ready for the rlm 80 to be sprayed onto the airframe. Most of my time since the last update has been finishing the g-4 camouflage. Using xtracolour enamels for the rlm colours. For the Italian colours grigio azzuro chiaro 1 & Verde Olivia scrro 2 (I will be using colour coats enamels. The rlm 74 mottle has been spayed and the wing camouflage has been adjusted. Also the under cowling and theater markings have been masked and sprayed.
