Thanks for your visits and comments friends and colleagues. 
In a small flask where I keep a pre-mixture oil paints and diluted with solvent sprint; I went through panels and rivets ...
The same applies to corresponding to the bottom and separate pieces ...
In the photos that I have, appear aircraft with few chipped, so I tried to do it discreetly ...
Silver color Testors (enamel 1146), is my favorite paint brush, I like it fine blending, consistency and has a high brightness.
I will give it time to dry well ... because I think practicing with pastel paints (chalk) to refine the weathering.
... Here we continue !! ... you soon and many greetings.

With some artistic chalks I did fine powder; with a little water and a drop of dish soap, various mixtures to apply in the "spine" of the fuselage, and in each wing color.
Also to the turbine apply a finish of dust and dirt with a little grease and oils ... almost ready to be mounted to the wing.
As I've spent time looking for a solution to the landing gear leg; bearing in mind the inclination that it must maintain above ground may.
I need still start the left leg !!!
... I am now working on preparing the joining of parts that make up the front leg and its position in place ...
I'm seeing is a critical step for my Germano so that it can hold in your own feet, without kinks or breakage RISKS
Greetings to all the guys !!

Thank you for your support friends in the world! 
Surely many of you have had the feeling of being just about to go into a threshold, where creativity and perfection to detail might generate a sensation ... both from excitement and some trepidation while ... :robot: ...!
To the base of the leg on the front wheel wall, I had to be reinforced with plastic powder and extra fine glue Tamiya.
After several days of drying (while I used to other things), I had to be sanded the rough end for a good bonding of the leg ... and to enter that small space, ... born this new tool in my belt ...
I had to make the entrance hole in that position for the side cushion could fit the space having the wheel wall.
Had to be several attempts and trials to make the most precise measurements of the wires of all joints for forming the complete piece ...
... It is more or less aligned right?

...back...
Thank W.
... More photos of the front landing gear ...
That difficulty to install the parts in the best possible way !!!, this has been a litmus test in my patience ... I'm surprised not to have throw everything against the wall !!!
... I must confess that I really did my best to get the best way to achieve the alignment of the legs, at height and proportional distances ... It has been my biggest difficulty so far in modeling
!!! ... It is the price to keep improving !!
I'll let the glue do its job ... then I go to the gates of the wheel walls; retouched with paint necessary and finalize details of the bottom ...
I leave you with this panoramic ...
An apology for the vast amount of photographs; ... are so many details to the different processes, than I trying to be as explicit as to have their feedback, I also wish that might be useful to anyone who has in his hands this kit. 
Thanks for your comments.
Best regards from the heat of Mexico City !!

I tend to spend a lot of time making sure that wheels are properly aligned as well. It's well worth the effort as misaligned landing gear can take a lot away from the look of a model in my opinion. Nice work.
