    Looks great, Bernard (@lis). It is easy to get bogged down in these small parts, but doing them right sure makes a big difference.

    Thank You for Your good worlds. I see some dust on one flap. Meh. Dust is annoying during painting. Also I missed lid from the reservoir for one of my airbrush. I try to find them but don’t have luck.

    Lis, @lis, this is moving along nicely! All those bits add up to nice detail when you put it all together.

    Wheels and leg struts are ready. I discover that Super Chrome Paint as Aluminium paint from this brand was Also soft and when wiping off the excess wash, the paint rubbed off despite being covered with varnish. From all Metallic paints from MR Color Super Silver is the strongest one.

    First attempt with pre-shaiding. For best results I decided to prime and pare shade wings and fuselage as separate parts.

    The preshading looks very promising, my friend @lis!

    Great start on the pre-shading, Bernard @lis
    A good approach to shade them seperately.

    Looks good, should add some nice variation to the top coat. I would love to have a kit good enought to paint main components completely before assembly it sure does make thing easier.

    Looks like a good start, Bernard (@lis). I have a love/hate relationship with pre-shading. Sometimes it works well for me and sometimes it doesn't.
