    @lis did you spray it freehandedly? Or draw down outlines first?

    After many corrections paintjob is complete. Some places has some imperfections (small shades, little dots etc) but I have no idea to make it better. Surface of paint are less smooth than Lancaster, because of white undersurfaces and imperfections of bare polistyren.

    The paint scheme has come out really well, Bernard (@lis). The bronze on the cowlings also looks great. All of your work on the shading is paying off now.

    @gblair Thank You! I tried very hard to make the effect good, but as I wrote earlier, the white paint turned out to be a really high bar. Painting imperfections also resulted from the plastic structure of the model (which turned out much better on the black belly of the Lancaster). I have the impression that on the upper surface of the wings the paint came out a hair too thick and too dull because of that. Nevertheless, I'm glad that you like my model.

    PS. Some smokes. I tried to correlate the bend of the exhaust pipe with the asymmetric direction of the wing smoke.
