That's a nice looking prop, my friend @lis!

Sorry to be late in joining the comments in your build (and group), but this is another well made @lis build. I really like the decals you have chosen for the propeller. My many builds will probably keep me from posting a new build in your group, but I shall be following the progress on builds with interest, looking and learning along the way.

Really nice fading, very realistic result,my friend @lis!

@stephen-w-towle @johnb@v1pro @fiveten After I removed masks and I gave first coat of gloss clear.

PS. Now is time for choosing painting... What do you think about it? My family are for Dragon flight... I like it, but probably didn't defend Darwin in 19 feb 1942... Hard to choose.

Lis,

I like the fading of the O.D. . You can't loose with a Dragon. It's getting the decals to match the fading paint that I find hard. I 'm going to give my decals a light dusting of gray pastels to blend with the paint. If the decal choice goes south you can always build another kit. I picked up four them. One time they where being sold as bagged kits. The choice was easy and the price was reasonable at the time. For a 1/72nd Special Hobby has made theses kits attractive and they grow on you.

The Dragon choice is great, my friend @lis!
