    Exhaust stains painted.


    Weathering on the lower surface done with black wash.
    I'm thinking of using a little bit of brown wash as well to replicate the desert dust.

    Stains and general weathering look superb, my friend @johnb! Using some brown seems a good idea.

    Final bits and pieces are added to the Emil.
    The antenna mast, canons in the wings, the balancers and the pitot tube, all in place now.
    Still need to paint them though.

    Your 109 is awesome, John (@johnb). The camo and weathering look perfect. You are getting very close to the end.

    With all the little bits and pieces it looks a lot closer to being finished. Looking forward to the last bits and final photosession 🙂

    Final coat is on and the canopy masks are removed. The canopy will be in open position, so that part needs to be placed next including the wire holding it. Antenna wire will be Uschi van der Rosten.
