Good work Sergio.

Just make the Radiator Cowl and Flaps look very 'clean'... And if it was me, I'd be painting the lower RLM76 colour as a lighter shade, with the Wellenmuster (squiggles) as a darker RLM76.

The sides of the Engine Nacelles and the corresponding parts of the tails, would be somewhat exhaust stained.

The centreline of the a/c would have been stained with mud from the nose wheel, and running/dripping residue from the guns (soot + water, also lubricants for the guns) and general aviation fluids. The rear lower nacelles would also more than likely be stained by mud. Atop the a/c, you'll also have a lot of staining around the centre - fuel and fluids and boot prints (stepping dirt, grit and fluids along that area) are usually noticable, resulting in a darker section in this area. Lots of oily hand print around the fillers, gun doors and ammo doors in the wing. And finally, lots of grubby hands around the rear fuselage door, where ppl would be servicing the radar sets and Schräge-Musik set up's.

Thanks for the indications that I have in mind, the color is rlm76 but I bleached it to put it more like the color after the scale, also the lighting is new, (I just built the box for the photographs and I have to do the climbing the White scaling in the camera for the photos),

and that's why it looks like this.

Hello colleagues I bring something more realized of the painting, I am quite disenchanting and I put little, I am in a crisis of modelismo but still I follow with the airplane slowly but ahead.
I painted all the top of rlm75 and then I have painted rlm 76 (that's what I'm doing).
I have almost finished painting the bottom but there are still things left to paint.
I put photos and I leave you to what to do
