Not much time for this project as I have one other I must finish first. I did bend up the cockpit cage and assembled the main elements of the interior and painted everything.

Bottom is painted in grey and tomorrow will get top camouflage. In this moment I set on my table, relaxed in chair and watch painting instruction in order to choose which sample I will make. Thank you for your kind comment :)

Now I am really stuck and shocked with fact that in painting instruction was given completely inaccurate patterns. Fist what is not clear to me is that there is given that on top side was used spot in German paints. It look more like standard Italian late camouflage with green base and brown spots. Also available images show no night engine exhaust, as well kit instruction recommend it. All right I did not seen images of all 112 samples delivered to Luftwaffe but this is enough to catch eye. All samples in kit featured wheel spats and actually they have remove it. Sample which have it is the first sample provided in assembly. Bitter problem coming with the same shape of pattern, all of them were shown with underside spots and actually not all have it. Worst at all is that this underside spot pattern was copied and it is same on all proposed machines and this is not fact. First machine which have specific black ring around cross on top wings, did not have this spots even in moment when it was destroyed!!

I will try to do something with this painting but hardly to estimate any good work with so limited data...
