The camo should be fun!

Yes, the camo!!!
Here following the second step, still to be completed with a second hand of yellow colour to thicken and widen the thatches:

And, after the yellow, the brown should follow.
Cheers

Beautiful work Alberto. I had the same problem for white outlined black decals. I just made the black decals, then hand-painted the outline using acrylic paint, then sealed it with a clear acrylic spray. Seems to work ok.

Amazing work, your skills are great.

Looking forward to see finished model. I will use this tread as great reference.

Best regards

Hi Terry, many thanks for the suggestion. I will try to follow it if I don't find anything already made (I still have to search in Luftwaffe numbers, may be they are available there.
By the way, here following are some pictures with the mottling done.

First of all the real aircraftl:

As can be seen, the mottling isn't clearly defined as in the profile

but is a lot more confused, so even more challenging (at least for me)

I'm pretty sure that it can be done in a better way, but that's what I I've been able to do.

Next, possibly tomorrow, two layers of Future and then, start with decals!
Cheers
Alberto

Hi,
thanks all for your comment.
In the meantime I prepared my decal sheet:

For the outline of numerical code (165-9) I will try with white drawing ink, did someone ever used it on decals?
Using drawing ink will be like going back to school ...
Cheers

It should work Ok Alberto, especially if used in something like a Rotaring pen. It may need two applications to achieve density if doing it on the decal sheet, and, of course, the sheet will need (preferably) two coats of an acrylic clear varnish sprayed onto it before use.

A few more pictures as I completed the landing gear and added the white band and the Savoy cross on the fin.

Again I must say thanks to my cat Maya who let me some space on the sun to take the pictures!

Cheers for now.
Alberto
