Bomber_County Posted December 20, 2021 Author Posted December 20, 2021 So happy with this now and the canopies are looking ok so far, little more work to nail them……decals next…… 7
Peterpools Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Phil Looking mighty good and the pre-shading comes through with just the right effect. Keep 'em comin Peter  2
DocRob Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Exactly like Peter says, the paintjob looks great and will really shine with decals and weathering. Cheers Rob 2

Cheers Rob Thanks Rob, pleased with the shading, may go a little lighter next time before top coating. Bought some Vallejo desert dust wash so interested how that may look on this?……… 3
kahunaminor Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Understated but very effective. Nicely done that man! Regards, Kent 3

Thanks Kent, you are an officer and a gentleman, very much appreciated. I am trying to teach myself weathering of aircraft. Bizarrely I have no fear on AFV’s but aircraft, let’s say a little apprehensive……. 3
Bomber_County Posted January 2, 2022 Author Posted January 2, 2022 In progress, decals finished…….  7 1
Martinnfb Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Really nice stuff, just wondering how is the canopy in terms of fitment ? 3

Martinnfb Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Thank you Phil, I heard only good stuff about ICM 88s , your build is so inspiring I might grab one in the nigh fighter version for myself.  Cheers M. 1
DocRob Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Beautiful paintjob Phil, the North Africa scheme looks great. Cheers Rob 2

For once it worked out alright. I didn’t like an idiot gloss coat before the decals. Some film can be seen. I going to lightly blow some Vallejo Matt over the decals to see if they hit back. Do not want to balls it up this late…… 2
Peterpools Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Phil Looking mighty good and awesome progress. I too was thinking about the canopy fit and now knowing it's a spot on fit, the roll out is close at hand. Keep 'em comin Peter
kahunaminor Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Two thumbs up from me Phil! Makes me want to scratch my own Ju-88 itch from the pile! 1
Bomber_County Posted January 4, 2022 Author Posted January 4, 2022 Thanks Peter, I dry fitted the canopies last night after shooting some Matt varnish. They are friction fit and stay in place, may just leave them like that instead of applying glue……… 1

Peterpools Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Phil Now that's a great fit for sure. Keep 'em comin Peter 1
