**** DONE: GB-48 1/48 Hs123A-1 - Military A/C before 1939 (inc. Spanish Civil War)

Definitely easier to paint the upper wing and fuselage/lower wing assemblies first before assembling them together. Ideally, the cabane and interplane struts would be secured to one or the other before paint but that would involve a tricky but possible dry-fit in a jig to make sure things are correctly aligned while the glue sets.

Looks great so far Wayne!

At this point Andy Upper wing will remain separate, struts will be added to the lower wings and fuselage, initial fit is pretty good so hopefully all will go smoothly...

Thanks Guys, the Painting starts....

The RLM65 Light Blue...the fluoro certainly lightens the colour......

"Fluoro" being Australian for fluorescent lights I guess. I thought at first you were using a new kind of paint.

Yep.....doesn't everyone say that...??

Well, been rather busy over the past week but have done some further painting, the Upper Wing has been masked in various parts and stages and the Tri-colour RLM 61, 63, 65 has been applied to see how the colours work.....I'm happy...!

Lots of tape to come but the outcome is well worth it.
