Getting closer!

John, I have a confession - I have not been paying attention! Sorry to tell you this late, but the small windows mostly needs filling. Hope you can do this as part of the touch-up process? If not, no worries, your build, your rules 🙂

Check on oy-reg.dk and search for OY-DRC and OY-DRM to see the pictures. (links here: https://oy-reg.dk/register/2204.html for DRC, and https://oy-reg.dk/register/2214.html for DRM)

@airbum, thanks, Erik. As a matter of fact, I noticed this while masking the aircraft. If I would have paid attention more early than I would certainly have. So all my misstake. Need to check after the silver painting is done if the windows can be corrected easily. Thanks for sharing links as well.

Trying to give the upper and lower surfaces a bare metal look. Couple of layers are applied and once it has dried sufficiently I will polish the surface with some cloth.

@fiveten, thanks, Spiros. Never had to use this amount of paint before on a single aircraft 🙂 . I used the Vallejo Metal Color series. It sprays on straight from the bottle. Thinning is not required.

Hi @johnb, like Spiros said above, the BMF looks super already, a little polishing will bring out the shine.

@chinesegeorge, thanks, George. I will give it a try with a soft cloth to polish it.

Happy New Year, John@johnb! It is indeed coming along very nicely. What is your technique for polishing and what polishes will you be using?

@eb801, thank you, Eric. Happy New Year to you as well. Currently I'm trying to get it shiny by gentle rubbing a soft cloth over the surface. Not sure if this is the best approach.
