Thanks Guys.
Well some other things have gotten in the way over the past week and prevented the progress needed to finish by Sunday....
and when I did get to painting had a few more issues there as well, having said that things did eventually fall into place and go well I got the majority of the remaining primary paint on the airframe yesterday and today. Tiny bit more "Black" striping to do and some touchups with the RLM 76 to tidy up all the edges too where the RLM 22 didn't perform as it should have....
So here is where I am at...so trying to now finish her up by the following weekend now.....

I'd certainly give it a bit more time so it can be completed as part of the GB!
Great work so far Wayne!

Thanks Guys.
Yesterday was able to do as I said, tidy up the RLM 22 Edges with the thinned RLM 76 pale mix, first 2 pics show the slight difference in the pattern as the RLM 22 feathered pattern was a bit heavy with some fine splatter here and there. The Thinned 76 went on almost perfectly and I got it all done without interruption or problem, happy with the result, which is what I wanted earlier in the week...!
Today I glossed over the majority of the airframe....and even got decals on late in the afternoon...so pics of this tomorrow, while the camera charges.

Thanks very much guys....
Ok have managed to get most of the relevant decals on, Port Wing Upper, fuselage and Fuselage sides, yesterday and this morning.
I didn't like the super thin Red Border on the Aircraft code "H" it was damn near invisible, so I dug out some thin red stripe and proceeded to cut the 12 small sections of Red and place them all around the Code so it actually stands out more like it should to identify the Staffel Colour.....yeah, that was an extra hour's work...! but worth it.
So I will continue on this week and get it finished up.
