Erik, @airbum
It has been a while since I have left a comment on this build journal. I am very impressed with the details in it's looking very good with the primer applied. I tend to agree with Pedro, the rivets will not look as prominent after a few more coats of color paint. You are doing some amazing work here, and I look forward to your next installment.

Soon I hope to be working on my V-14 Udet machine, and again I thank you for the information you supplied me with. 🙂

Really nice light blue, my friend @airbum!

@fiveten and @johnb, the counting continues. . . .

71

71? –yes, 71 it is

with 65 fully cured it was time for some major masking, and a trip to the paintshop.

next up, I am able to reveal it will be 70, and with that an early machine. Tune in again later to check what it will be

@airbum
Almost near its completion now Erik!

@fiveten, now 70 has been added.
@holzhamer, indeed – just weeks away, not months I hope
@johnb, indeed a nice cs, even if the difference between 70 and 71 is not the biggest one around.

70

was the last major color to be added

and with that painted it was time to pull the maskingtape

With this it is off to dry for a week or two, then it is detailpainting (and a few touch-ups)

next up perhaps a last progress before decals – or maybe after decals. That also means you are welcome to post your guess on the final décor! (just to impress your cat – no prize here)

Good progress there Erik! @airbum
Which paint brand are you using? Am asking because the contrast 70/71 is very low. It reminds me more of the maritime greens to be honest.
I know this is not a consensual argument and certainly not a criticism mate

Very nice paint work, Erik @airbum
The contrast difference on 70/71 is not that big in general I think, also with Vallejo the difference is minor.

Yep, those decals are nice but thick, my friend @airbum! Hope they will finally settle down these holes...
