Only 3 "oops" to call out on this one and a little simpler on detail and finish. The ground crew somehow threw the joystick into the woods and couldn't find it. The paint crew skimped a little bit on the starboard RLM 65 at the wingroot. They also managed to scratch off some of the port side numbers. Both crews have been restricted to base for 1 month.

pointed out the third from the front vertical bar is only the joint between the front and rear side panel and should not be painted. And I noticed that I had painted over the lower front triangular panes.
Here is where the 11 got damaged.
Here what looks like exhaust is the RLM 65 that only partially covers the wingroot area.
The only weathering done on this was the exhaust and I'm not going to rig the aerial. Restoration staff spilled a bucket of thinner on the floor of the museum photo stage.
