Wayne, you're probably right.

...fraid I am...found it, will post the pic tomorrow!

Still looking great. Can't see anything you need to apologise for in the weathering - it looks real professional.

I agree. One thing on exhaust staining - if it's black, then the engine is running very rich, or burning a lot of oil, or damaged! This is evident in pics of belly-landed aircraft, where the staining can look heavy due to engine damage, compared to the same aircraft seen before crash-landing. Also, in pics of late-war Luftwaffe aircraft, over-run by the Allies, it may be that the engine has been run 'dry' (of oil) in a deliberate act to seize the engine, denying the enemy of a 'prize'. This would cause very heavy staining of course, the latter being easily confused, in some B&W pics, with shadow areas or heavy mottle.
Looks good on yours so far though.

 

[Lucky13]

Yup! Looks great mate!

 

[Wurger]

With all here.

Hi Woody,
Al49 is right. German aircraft produced a mess of staining. But you could leave them black. German fuel produced a lot of black grim.

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Wayne. Maybe my memory is playing tricks but I'm thinking of something else. Getting old I guess.

 

[woody]

Well as this one nears completion iam thinking i should replace my old airbrush its a badger 150 from the late 1970s. Here are a couple pics, the exhaust staining needs to be worked on i got to get the fill for it and it could of had more future applied.I sprayed the canopy RLM 66.

And one in old picture form.

Well guys finished adding tid bits but no antena wire because the wife always breaks them when moving and dusting will post pics in finished area.

Woody, The final product looks great. Very brave of you to go for a white finish, as camouflage can hide a multitude of errors whereas white would show the tiniest glitch.
