Well done, Lis @lis The dull aluminum looks nice.
I too love the dull aluminum, my friend @lis!

Looking nice, my friend @lis! Looking forward to your NMF!
Great step prior to the NMF, Lis @lis
Once again you go for paint on the elevator and rudder - such small details on a NMF plane are just great!
I set some technical stencils. Unfortunetly I mist a very very little propeler (probably bomb's igniter) on end of finns in the center. It was so small. I find it three times but now is gone π

Looks great, @lis. My success rate with the really small photoetch is near zero, so don't feel bad about losing one small piece. :o)
@gblair Kit had two absurdly small propellers. Second if you mist one. But I mist two π I wonder whether to make them with just anything, or assume that something so small glued on a microscopic dot of glue will not stay after all.
This bomb looks wonderful, my friend @lis! Even a tiny piece of stretched sprue can serve as a mini prop.
@fiveten @gblair I made this little prop from old PE parts. π And painted on silver.
I have to repaint prop.Unfortunetly yellow tips looks not good (not smooth). Another thing was not good fit of spinner. I'm very dissapointed! It need to cut of base of spinner in the center for better fit of propeller shaft.
Sometimes photoetch is more trouble than it is worth, @lis. There are days I need to just walk away from the model and take a break.
Amazingly detailed job, my friend @lis! Yes, PE is difficult to work with...
I have question my friends. Did you ever use Mr Paint Brand of paints? This brand have one shade of RAF light blue that no one produce:

This is shade of blue for early High Altitude Spitfires.
