My showcase is almost full. Almost no room for the models. While I do not solve this problem, which I am trying to sell mine and buy a bigger one, I stopped with the models in 1/32 scale. By now they are all stored inside their boxes.
As I am without building some time ago I decided to return to the scale 1/48. I still have two or three models in this scale but decided to buy the new model Euard.

The box. The scheme I intend to do is the boxart.

​

What I have done.

The interiors.











​

The motor



​

Then I glued the fuselage and wings.

Yep , undoubtedly a great job on the model so far.

As far as the trouble with the lack of the room for models.. you will never solve this problem I'm afraid. Believe me I have three stashes and all of them are full of kits. Actually thinking about fourth one. It's a neverending story.
 
Nice work indeed. I agree about the storage and display - some of my models are getting ruined due to dust and smoke (must give up cigarettes!), so I'm thinking of putting some away in sealed boxes again.
 
Then I started painting the model.

First the RLM 65. A mixture of paints Tamiya XF-23 (2) and XF-02 (1). After lights and shadows.
















​
This was followed the RLM 02 with XF-22 Tamiya.

Well then I was without a camera. I painted the RLM 71 with Tamiya XF-61. Lights and shadows and was ready to start with the decals. Perhaps start today.





















​

And for now is all.

Thanks for watching.

When applying the Future many of the effects disappear in particular in dark colors so, this time, I used Tamiya glossclear. The problem remained. The effects on darker colors continue to disappear.
A new problem. Some white spots appeared after applying the clear. The weather has been cold and rainy. I think it happened due to humidity.
I applied a new layer, this time with Future, and fortunately the spots disappeared.



​

I painted what was missing in the wings and started putting the decals. I started by marks of Ofw . Kurt Obben and 6. Tragergruppe.

Looking very nice indeed. Some details will seem to disappear under a clear gloss coat, due to light diffusion, but they should 're-appear' once the finish coat of semi-matt clear is applied.
