Cockpit detailing finished and primed/RLM66
Started riveting with the new tool I bought at EME in Lingen

Ok, riveting is time-consuming but also relaxing. I gave the wing a wash to check the result. Looking good so far. I just hope that it will be still visible after paint job

Made some progress on the small E381 fighter to be carried by the 234.

Finished the E381. Just some light panel line wash, no chipping or fading, as this was more or less a one-time flyer...

Today I began the painting process for the 234. Sprayed RLM66 on the canopy and also used this for preshading of the upperside. Preshading of the underside was done with Intermediate Blue. I tried these colours instead of the usual black to obtain less contrast to the base coats and make it blend better. Hopefully...

3 hours of masking the splinter camo. I hope I did not forget anything 😱

With the engine outlets and canopy frames done, painting comes to an end. Especially the latter was very tedious in terms of masking. But I am satisfied with the result 😃

Decals are on. Next step panel line wash to bring out all the rivets I made.

Very nice. Amazing detail on the cockpit, looks impressive.
I have 2 old Ar 234 in progress, but the cockpits, or should I say lack of, that came with the kit just don't compare. I did a bit of scratch building, but just so something could be seen.
Question - what size wire did you use for the cockpit?

Very beautiful model! I really like it, especially the riveting and the cockpit. Did you treat the cockpit windows in any way, or are they straight out of the box? That would surprise me with Revell, to be honest 😉

The canopy had some scratches, so I sanded and polished it a bit.
@William: it is copper wire, but I do not know the size. I will measure it and get back to you.
@all: thanks for the nice comments ❤️

@William: I realized that I still owe you an answer regarding the copper wire: it is 0.1 mm in diameter.
