Hi,
I did some progress on this model as well!

An overall view



and some details:



Next steps: a coat of Future followed by a coat of satin varnish.
Then the little detail, some weathering and final assembly!
Cheers

Very nice indeed Alberto, superb work!
Just noticed one tiny little thing though, which probably would not be spotted in normal viewing. On the front face of the step on the landing gear brace, there is a moulding seam, which detracts slightly from an otherwise beautifully done model. Just a very small blemish, but worth removing if possible.
 
Hi Terry,
many thanks for your comment.
Speaking about the moulding seam, do you mean this one?

or something else?
Alberto
 
Yes Alberto, that's the one. I noticed it, as, many years ago, when I was re-fuelling a Storch at an air show, I slipped off that step and badly bruised my shoulder on the end of it, tearing my flight suit at the same time! Never forgotten what that darned step looked like ever since!!
 
Hi,
a couple of shots to show the green house free of masks and a little detail I wanted to add: pipes and hoses for the braking system.


and my attempt to make roundels by airbrush (green will be added today)



Cheers
Alberto
 
Added a few details to this model as whell, mainly the landing gear and painted under-wing roundels.





(Still with my cat shearing the sun with me)
