That is looking real nice, Wayne! I have to agree with Andy, I love the seemingly endless variety in LW schemes. They can also be maddening to document as well.
 
Thanks Very much guys well I managed to get almost to where I wanted to be...should still get finished by next Sunday though...

Ok all the steps so far...Wings done with 79 and 75, Masking of canopy, the RLM66 Grey done on frames followed by the fuselage brown 79 and Green 70 couple of spots to touch up but will get panel lines done next and then gloss coat hopefully all by Wed.

Oh, and i had to quickly make up a new insulator antenna lead in for the upper fuselage...when i was prepping the original it went PING.....and gone....

Cheers Guys....started on the panel lines today and when I got home fixed the couple of areas I was not quite happy with, with the airbrush. Bit of brush painting tomorrow and the first gloss will go on...
 
Beautiful work as always Wayne! You have such great airbrush control... very evident in the clean transitions between colors. Freehand?
 
Looking very, very nice, Wayne! What do you use for the insulator? I am assuming a piece of narrow brass tubing with a slice of sheet plastic around it?

Thanks John, yes all done freehand, I only mask when I need to.

Yes Dale, Short bit of brass tube and yes a carefully shaped bit of plasticard, whipped it up quick to suit as i wanted to get on with the painting.
 
Time has been against me...here is the current state of play, glossed and primary decals on, still a ways to go, will get more time on her tomorrow but won't be done by tomorrow night at this stage, will be at least Tuesday or even Wednesday before I get her finished.
