Thank you guys. @Łukasz: Unfortunately, the building no longer exists as it was destroyed in an air raid when the Americans actually wanted to hit the Arado aircraft factory. There are only 2-3 photos left, one of them see picture 1 in the album.

Schön geworden!

Great scene Chris! In the early 90s, together with a colleague, I had the opportunity to visit almost all former NVA locations and take photos (see my MiG-23 pictures). With your diorama, these extremely positive memories will be reawakened!

WOW! At first I thought the 'retro' pic was a period photo.

Nice looking 262, excellent build, paint and weathering. 👍🥸🤘

Oh, the file from sufa312 really looks good and better to be able to print. I downloaded the file already and will check that out in the future. For now I will wait for the Hasegawa set.

Wonderful Tornado, it's almost completed 🙂

Thank you Raul. To answer your questions:
Yes, the Revell pirate ship is identical in construction and differs only in the figurehead (it's a swan).
I didn't use any primer and painted directly onto the cleaned plastic. I was afraid that the primer would make too much of the wood grain disappear.
I have briefly described how I painted the pearl in pictures no. 10 and 11, please have another look.

I think this looks fantastic. Hopefully you finished it

Thank you very much. And it's true, the cell phone photo somehow brings out the colors of the surface better than the lightbox photos from the SLR camera. The shades are a bit blurred there. But I'm not a professional when it comes to settings.
The dust: yes, that's probably the biggest enemy. You'll have to use make-up brushes regularly.

Hell of a Phantom. Great paint job, top photography.

Chris T. An kirjailija
You're absolutely right, the masking on the triangles is actually still there, even though the model has been in the display case for almost 4 years. Oh boy, that happened to me with an F-4 Phantom too. Of course I corrected it immediately and removed it. Many thanks for your tip. Now I'll probably have to take new photos... 😄

Andy, this Revell kit was really without any issues. The moulding tool is from 2014, it's not an old one. I can recommend it and I think of buying 1 or 2 more for different versions.

Andy Ball
Excellent! I've done the Italeri Korean one and thought it was pretty good too.
