1/48 Zeke...Two Coats...


Main fuselage, wings, stabilizers and tail put together. Canopy front and back pieces attached - Gonna try an "open canopy" look on this one to show off the cockpit work that I've done. Here are the prelim taping off pictures...


Close-up of the provided canopy masks...always a plus...


Trying a new/old method for the wheel wells...sponge cut to the shape and stuffed in the hole. Allowed to expand back out, in theory, this should cover all of the painted parts below. We shall see.


First Coat of base mixture - White - German Grey - and a dab of Olive Green...



Second coat of of White - Light Blue - Yellow mixture. This has a slight "blue grey" tint to it depending on the light. The pictures actually make it look better than it does in person I think. Hopefully I can get the top side green on it so that it looks natural.
