Shite! Good luck with the fix. Looks straight forward.

The problems with paint
in this world, it is ain't
but a thing to be deal't with more.
If I worried about
minor problems without,
a solution, I'd be a bore.

Looks good to me Paul, despite the masking problems!

 

[Wayne Little]

Small obstacle to get over....fixed in no time, me thinks!

 

[N4521U]

Glann, I bet there's a lot of things in Chicago that are the best.....

Paul, don't you peel Away from the line??????? Dam shame Paul.

 

[Airframes]

Shame about the paint lifting, but no doubt you'll sort it out. Looking good so far though.

 

[meatloaf109]

Yep, sure do, thats what made the 73 peel away also. I am convinced it is the age of the paint.

 

[N4521U]

We've all been there...... but you Will get it sorted.....

BTW...... deckles arrived... thanks.

 

[Wayne Little]

Be fixed in no time...

Looking good just a quick fix hope you get it sorted Paul.

I've finally found that magazine article with the Arado profiles Paul. It confirms the 72/73/65 colour scheme, in 1941, along with Prinz Eugen's aircraft the same, in spring '41. Both have a white spinner tip, and the unit badge on the nose, immediately behind the cowling. The codes for Bismark's aircraft are shown as T3 + LK (red L), the unit designation being I/Bordfliegerstaffel 196.

Thanks, old boy!
I have gotten the "undercarrage" fixed, and painted.
Here it is.
Thanks to everybody for looking in and for the support!

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice Paul. Glad you got it sorted.

 

[T Bolt]

Looking good Paul. Just can't stay away from rigging I see

 

[A4K]

Lovely work Paul!

Terry, could you post pics of the Ar 196 schemes sometime please? Looking for something 'original' for mine.

 

[rochie]

nice work Paul

 

[N4521U]

That is lookin real nice Paul. Kudos! Whatever the h3ll that means.

 

[Wayne Little]

keep it coming Paul...

 

[Wurger]

Nicely done Paul. But what about the float "noses"? As memo serves these were of red colour.

 

[meatloaf109]

Aparently not on the Bismarck machines. I left the end caps off to make them easier to paint red, but the profiles both you and Terry sent show no red tips. Terry's shows the white spinner, though.
