Good job, cnq. I like the colors on this model, they look quite realistic.

Thanks Epap.

bottom color is German light bue so may be it's the lighting that makes it look too blue.

Here's the one in Washington, DC:

Should be RLM 65 on the bottom, which is light almost to the point of looking a little grayish. Maybe it is the lighting?

I guess this is the same plane but the bottom looks more blue so I think it depends on the lighting and picture the blue would look different.

Thanks 1958Zelda.
I've started my next project Revell 1/48 Dornier 335 V10 proto type night fighter. This is an old Revell kit that have fewer parts so I'm hoping it would not take me too long to finish it.

I'll get it within the year.

I know about the FLY model/kit too but decided to do with this 1/72 kit due to space. The FLY kit looks quite good though.

I have the Fly kit, but all work on airplanes is on hold until I get my display cabinets/shelves finished and I have a place for them. The armor I am building currently doesn't take up as much room being as I don't have to worry about wingspan issues.
