    All the work masking will pay off, Bernard (@lis). The lack of masks for the lights certainly seems like an oversight, especially since round masks can be hard to cut. Machine guns can be a weak point in 1/72 bombers, but they have gotten better in the recent kits. New guns look good.

    Your self created masks are perfect, Bernard @lis
    The new guns are nicely detailed, they will for sure look great.

    After all night priming Wellington could dry. Some areas in nose and undersurfaces was resand and reprimed. Small imperfections and touch ups was done (fingerprints that I need to sand another time) but I hope it looks good.

    Lis @lis, you are at the stage i have been looking forward to - eager to see your paintjob! The structure of the wings is clearly visible, Airfix has done a great job with that. The primer looks just perfect.

    Windows look great, my friend @lis! Did you make the masks by yourself?

    @fiveten Unfortunetly I spend next 4EUR for polish made set of mask that was probably better and cheaper than not complete eduard set.
    PS. Thank you all for your nice comments and sorry that I don't reply to everyone right away because of writing posts on the phone, which makes it difficult to make some more complicated entries.

    Finally pare-shadeing was done. As usual small touch ups was made. I used two different shades for pre shadeing.

    The pre-shading does look indeed superb, Bernard @lis
    Good idea to use to different colors.
