Bit of forward planning, looking for pictures of the exhaust staining on the wings !
Have pictures of the distinctive fuselage stains but nothing of any use for the wings.

any help appreciated

 

[nsmekanik]

The best I can come up with

 

[Crimea_River]

Good examples there. Maybe try some artist pastels Karl or start with graphite shavings dabbed on. The white stains are lead deposits and not always seen.

tis my plan my friend, i have a black and a white pastel, plan was to go with black to start then maybe mix in a bit of white to lighten up the centre of the stain

 

[Crimea_River]

Sounds good!

 

[rochie]

Am pretty happy with that

 

[Crimea_River]

That's looking really good my friend! I don't mind those colours at all actually.

Yep, the 6th pic shows them best and how the stains flow, and you are most welcome.

Like the look of that.

All the large decals are on.

 

[fubar57]

Beauty

 

[Airframes]

I agree.
Might have to get myself one of these (no,no,no - you have far too many kits already !!).

 

[rochie]

This has turned out to be a fantastic kit, would love to do another if i had room

 

[Crimea_River]

So the decals sat into the corrugations? Looks great.

 

[Airframes]

No, the corrugations rose up and grabbed the decals.
Yeah, I know - it's on, and I'm halfway through the door .......................
