Main painting is now complete. I primed in white Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 because of the general lightness of the color scheme. Mr. Color lacquers were used for the main colors. Pretty catchy pre-war scheme. Decals are next.

Robert Podkoński
Yellow wings! Watching with pleasure, of course! 😉

The Red Ripper 1850 is now complete. Light weathering only as the plane was depicted as new and saw no combat at this point. After the photos I realized I forgot to remove the masks from the landing light and the lower windows. Thanks for looking. Comments and critiques always welcome.

David Culp
Definitely eye-catching, and very well made. It looks like the real thing.
