We all get to the point that the little details overtake. It may be hard to see, but I have made several improvements on the general apperance of this craft.
Steps added to the front float supports, and I painted the "sling cables" and machine gun. Not much, over all, but,
There it is.
I am still not sure why those white spots are occuring. they are not present on the plane.
Ghosts?

Looking better all the time Paul. Those 'white spots' - I agree, probably reflection. Are you using flash? If so, then the flash is 'bouncing' off the details areas, and could also account for the slightly 'washed out' look, where the 'blue' light of the intense flash is altering the colours by over-exposing and causing anomolous reflection.

The two Dutch pilots were lost and strayed on to this thread. They have sucessfully escaped and are on their way to freedom.
I always like to put the tail insignia on first. Just a weird quirk I have. Anyways, here is the Arado with some of the decals on.
Because of the paint I used, I will be using an old method to make the panel lines "pop". Some tempura paints will be used. This is why I am applying the decals before any kind of weathering.

Very nice, sir. I like using tempera for panel lines. Bought a bucket for about 2$. Several generations will get some use out of it.
