Thanks mate, really pleased with them
Just caught up Scot, some outstanding work going on here.
Not knowing how accurate those engines are, they do look pretty good
But, not like anyone will do aftermarket 1/64 replacements!

Well you certainly like a challenge and you're doing a cracking job with this build so far - very nice painting!
Thankyou kindly
They look like an engine so that'll do hahah, from memory they are quite good for the era.Not knowing how accurate those engines are, they do look pretty good

Dude, sorry for the aside, but how did you do that multi-reply post? I've not figured out how to do that yet...
Basically I move the cursor to the next line and click on the reply tab of the next person and repeat again for the next.
Cheers,

Back to the fuselage and wings, having spoke to the new owner I'd asked him to have a look at paint schemes. He had requested a yellow stripe to the fusealge and wing tips (underside).
Think I may have gone a little too heavy as I lost more preshade than I'd have liked, its still there believe it or not but the camera hasn't really picked it up. Next we gave the old bird a gloss coat ready for decals. Now the Decals, we were unable to source any at this scale and being newish to the hobby I exhausted everywhere I could think of so ended up with some JU52 72nd scale ones, slightly incorrect sizing but Its what the owner liked so who am I to argue. One thing I did say was we need to get an original on somewhere so managed the crest next to the canopy, and even one side split on seperation from the sheet. Managed it in the end, but it's nice either way to have something original on it.
So all the decals on, and please note the tail marking I hope doesn't cause any offence or issues on the forum? It's merely for historical reference/accuracy. Another coat of clear to seal these in then I can apply a wash to pull everything in.

Looking superb Scott, the owner will be very happy with this.
Thanks @flyjoe180, it is coming together better than I anticipated, so happy days
I am sure it wont. I like many have a stash of Swastika's to replace the ones that many model manufacturers leave out. Great progress Scott.
Thankyou @HAWKERHUNTER
That's a fab bit of painting!
Thankyou kindly
