Thank you guys. I was lazy to post progress pictures.
@Hunter: I would surely recommend the masks, Eduard did a good job, although they did not provide few masks for round windows on belly gondola, so it is a good option to mask them before attaching.
@Peter: Wow, you surely had quite a sight.

Completed! It was a fun project, very nice kit. Only two problems with it: forward turret was too high, so I sanded it and lowered by 1,5mm, also instruction sheet has some errors so I would advise to consult literature and web in order to make construction smooth. Colors used: Gunze RLM 02, RLM 66 for inside. Lower surfaces Gunze RLM 65, upper cammo Model Master authentic RLM 72 and RLM 73, propellers RLM 70 and Henschel bombs RLM 02. Finish is Tamiya gloss cote before decals, MIG Luftwaffe wash, and Gunze semi gloss finish.
Radar antennas are finely molded, but they are still quite thick, so etched ones would be good option.

Thank you, guys I am glad you like it. I did apply several different preshading colors. For lower surfaces I went with dark gray, brown and dark blue, and for upper surfaces, black, brown and green colors. On the end, I am more satisfied with preshading effect applied under RLM65.
@Bojan, nadam se da cu doci na NG kup
