[Wurger]

Not bad.

 

[Wayne Little]

Agreed, not bad at all!

Good start Igor. It might be worthwhile sanding down the rib tapes on the rudder slightly. Although they are visible close up, or on a light-coloured scheme, they aren't very prominent, being fabric tape with a 'pinked' edge, doped over the ribs.
As you can see on the Dutch Spit with a white rudder, they are visible, but not raised, as the light catches the surface. But on the Polish Squadron MkV, they can hardly be seen at all.

Sounds good.

 

[imalko]

Good point Terry. Will tone them down a little.

Nice subject Igor, looking forward to the completed model!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far Igor!

Not much time for modeling lately, but still managed to do some work on this model. In short, she's more less ready to receive paint now. Spinner, propeller and underside slipper fuel tank are spares from Italeri kit.

Good job Igor!

Update...Though everyday life often tend to frustrate my efforts, I keep working on finishing this model. Paint is now on - Hu 149 for foliage green, Hu 29 for dark earth and Hu 65 for blue undersides. Not sure if the colors are really spot on, but hope they're close enough. Anyway, here are the pictures...

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far Igor!

 

[Catch22]

Nicely done!

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks good to me!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree, looks great!

 

[Wurger]

With all above.
