Some work from my side, although there wasn't much time these days...
Berthold: Finished rib tapes and wing crosses applied - the pressure of the tweezers was just a little too hard for fragile Roden's decals, but this was later corrected with paint.
This morning the center section of the upper wing is sprayed base white, and later a blue was applied - I've finaly laid my hands onto the shade I imagined
- maybe just a little too light, but proper blue - MM 1594 (Thanx, Tanja!
). Here's first layer, while the second one is going to do the thing, I believe
Degelow: I intended to use wash on the wings to minimise obvious silvering of rib tapes, which even liberal application of nitro solvent couldn't kill (first 2 pics). Following pictures show the progress and finished surface of lower wings - unfortunatelly, silvering is still visible
