All points well taken, Wurger. I too recall the horrors of working with metalized paints (silver. aluminum, metal, etc) where even hours late a finger print could occur. So I acquiesce. You are so right sir.

Man I wish I had time for all the models in my attic...

I just don't want to wish away my boys time at home. Different times. Different focus.

Thanks, Wurger.

Oh and btw the eyes are good.

Glad of sharing the opinion with you.
And glad your eyes are fine.

Hi Guys... It's Saturday and I just finished painting the Stuka. Here's some
pic's as it was taped and then painted. The last pic shows my "paint booth".
After it dries for about four hours I will un-tape and put up pic's.

Just finished removing all the tape and paper, and I took some pic's for you
to comment on. There is just a little bit of touch up to do, mostly on the
leading edge of the wings.

If it's dry enough tomorrow, I will install the dive brakes and dive flaps.

I have question for the camo experts out there. The lower portion of the
radiator looks out of place painted light blue. Should I darken that up a
bit ??

Comments are always welcome..

Charles

Thanks, Chris. Guess that answers that question !

Hmmmm. Look at the camo pattern on the nose of that stuka, and look
at mine. Simular, no ?

Charles looks great mate!

The green camo sometimes extended down on the radiator, but not always....

I agree with Wayne,there are some different ways of the place painting.
But it is well done Charles. I like it.
Maybe you should think about the front painting of the radiator....

I will, I don't have any black enamel right now. I intend to paint the intake
area black. Or would a gray be better ?

It doesn't matter, I think.Simply it has to be a very dark paint.Unless there is an imitation of the cooler structure.In the case it would be nice to paint it with a mixture of silver and black ( or very dark grey) paints.Another way of painting can be spraying the area with silver one ( or black one ) and then using the dry brush method , paint with very diluted black paint ( or silver one).
