Ok after working a good 2 hours today on this (I found time!!!) I think its nearly ready for paint, just need a few minor things to be fixed.

I'll try to get up pictures tomorrow, maybe?

Thanks.

 

[Crimea_River]

Can't wait! Oh, I guess I can since I've been waiting since February

 

[B-17engineer]

Get used to it....

 

[vikingBerserker]

For the record, it is now officially tomorrow.

 

[Crimea_River]

For the record, he said "maybe"

 

[B-17engineer]

Not good pics by any means but trying to show something...ran light grey over seems and came out really well...

Working on other landing gear as well....

 

[Wurger]

Not too bad Harry.

 

[Gnomey]

Agree with Wojtek, looking good.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice!

 

[Crimea_River]

You spent a lot of time on those joints H and it shows. Good job!

 

[T Bolt]

Joints look great Harrison. All that time was well spent!

 

[Airframes]

Looking very good H. Give the primed areas over the joints a light rub-down, with fine wet n' dry, to prevent a ridge under the paint when applied. Should look good with the paint on, well done so far.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks guys!

I'll give that a try today Terry since I shouldn't have too much work over the weekend

 

[B-17engineer]

For the RLM 23 I completely forgot to order some yesterday...what can I mix to get that color?

 

[A4K]

Try Humbrol 153 Insignia Red if you can get some, or add a touch of Black to 60 Scarlet Red.
Whatever you mix, it should be a bright red base colour with a slightly darker tonal value.

Nice progress btw, love the Do 17 family...

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks Evan! Will give it a try later

 

[B-17engineer]

RLM 23 is on....now for the props were they black or was there any different color at the tip liek on P-51's, B-17's etc. etc. ?

Pictures later.

 

[Wurger]

Harry, for prop blades it should be Schwarzgrun RLM 70.

 

[B-17engineer]

so no colors at the tips of the blade ?

Thanks Wojtek!

 

[Wurger]

You'r welcome Harry.

Yep...no coloured blade tips. Germans didn't use a such markings rather.
