Certainly is looking good.

Thanks very much Guys!

Well Iv'e added the yellow ID colours at this point.

I personally believe the lower cowling IS yellow, in the only known full shot of this aircraft the lower cowling certainly appears to be a brighter, different colour to the other lighter colour that can be seen on the fuselage, undercarriage cover etc. which is without a doubt RLM 76. Lt. Blue or Blue/Grey.
I have done the rudder yellow at this point based on the Profile from the Mushroom book, which is also a possibility, however I am not quite sure of this yet however the yellow is easier done now than later and can easily be overpainted if I choose....

the Spinner has been painted Black while the prop blades are RLM 70, they look greener in the pic...but are darker.

looking good Wayne both of them/

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree.

Me too.

Nice Wayne. It's interesting that you seem to be able to shoot the yellow right onto the base plastic without any primer. Tamiya acrylic paint? Seems to cover very nicely with no adhesion issues.

 

[Gnomey]

Coming along nicely Wayne!

 

[Catch22]

Nice stuff Wayne!

Don't have any issues....however I do run 800/1200 grade over almost all surfaces during assembly and sanding so this probably helps...

Ok after a real stuff up with a spiral decal yesterday, tried another today and no problems! Glossed over now and ready for flat coat tomorrow...

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice!

 

[Airframes]

Nicely done - I always have problems with spiral decals !

 

[vikingBerserker]

Beautiful!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Your so depressing me Wayne.You are amazing .

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looking great Wayne.

 

[Wayne Little]

Your so depressing me Wayne.You are amazing .

And to depress you further, this was a D-9 Spiral, so i had to make it fit!....it pretty much matches the spiral position to the original pic of Bellagambi's spinner so i can set it to the same angle.

cheers fellas for you continued comments and interest!
