Looks excellent from here, my friend @johnb!

@fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros. With decals and weathering I'm sure it will look acceptable.

@airbum, thank you, Erik. Maybe these dots were done by a painter who wanted to have it done quickly. Nevertheless, I'm not going to redo the season, but for a next time I think I will go for a sort of masking sheet to create the dots, similar approach like you mentioned.

@gblair, thanks, George. Let's see how they will look like after weathering.

Looking super, my friend @johnb!

Forgot that I had to apply the white tailband as well and paint RLM02 on the slat region prior to the gloss coat and decalling.

Started with the tail band, masking and painting.

Next masking the slat areas and painting RLM02. When the slats retract, the green dots do unfortunately not match the shape. I was already aware of that but will leave it for this time. Next time I will first paint the camouflage with the slats retracted and at a later stage mount them in open position.

Since I had the airbrush up and running, I also painted the propellor and cone.

@fiveten, thanks and fully agree on the quote, Spiros.

@johnb - The slats were probably "down" when the airplane was painted - they weren't looking for a First at Telford, you know. 🙂
I suspect the airplane looked a lot like this. I've been trying to decide whether they did the blotches with air guns or brushes, but then it came to me they probably did it in North Africa so definitely paint brushes. So it would look just like this.

@airbum, thank you, Erik. Once the build is finished, just a few will know or notice it.

@tcinla, thanks, Tom. Brushed sounds very plausible out in the desert.

@lgardner, thanks a lot, Louis. If I ever will build another one in this scheme, I will go for smaller dots. Looking forward to your 109.
