Berny Hase calls for RLM78 inside/out on the Wheel Well area when I look at the old Squadron book it is a light color but could be grey also any thought's?

 

[Wurger]

Verde anticorrosione or mostly the same as used for the undersides ... Grigio Azzurro Chiaro 1.

Wojtek, IMHO Verde Anticorrosione is more greenish than the grey undersides. It's more like a greener version of RLM 02. The photo below shows the difference.

That's correct. The colour could be either ~ FS 34272 or ~FS 34558. However in the B&W pictures it is quite difficult to state if it was the greenish Verde Anticorrosione or it was just the same grey colour that was used for the undersides.

I got a very polite observation from Crimea_River to stop whining and JUST DO IT. Back when I was in IT; at review time we were to propose a "stretch goal' in addition to all the other things we were expected to do. So in that spirt, I added weathering and dirt.

I did some light grey dry brush to bring out the ribbing. There is a lot of glare on the lower wing, but it is visible on the upper wing on the markings. The decals did not snuggle into the ailerons and I'm not ready to give up on getting a fine black line across that joint. You would think that the tail decal would be one piece but noooooo....
The stripes, "S", serial no, and whatever the tiny numbers might be, are 4 decals. I painted the stripes so I could cover the edges.

The wheels have a tiny hole drilled into them to represent access to the tire valve. I've seen a picture of Eddie Rickenbacker standing by his kite and there are just huge clods of mud on his boots and the landing gear. There is brown panel liner on the lower wings, over the wheels and a heavy wash on the legs and central brace. You can see some wires on the landing gear. I have all the wire represented but nowhere as complex as the real plane was. Some of the longer wires on the wings came in multiple strands with special ends to hook everything up. I only have to attach the upper wing, tail, engine, and wheels. Getting the wing and six struts to all line up is going to require a couple more arms.
