Thank you mate 

In previous message I have forget to note that the bottom is in the partially natural metal and use plain black edged cross. Image of this plane does not show this but another do present this way of markings. As addiction to this subject I add one color profile of this airplane where is presented all camouflage and markings. Colors are shown a faded but not as on the actual photo. Wash out of the color on the image is the result of the long time exposure to the sunlight.

For the basic kit I took again Heller 1/72 scale model as well it has much of its advantage. But this is K-4 model and I need here G-10 model of Erla manufacture. Some conversion has to be made and most obvious is the panel shape. I have place one self adhesive tape on the starboard side of the fuselage and this will useful to apply filler in the deserved amount as well shape. As well there will be larger coat of the filler I have place it in few thin coat for better drying. Image show first coat of filler.

One note is also that at the bottom of the nose original kits have two bulges. They have to be cut and this place sanded to smooth finish.

Thank you for your kind support mate here is new work steps on the kit. Whole nose is sanded and filled in few layers until the proper shape is made. Now it is Erla nose Note also in cockpit few of the parts added from the basic Heller set.

Hi all,

I have two in 1/48 scale. They should be improved... This is the very old revell kit from... 1977 !
I'm sure N°1's Erla G-10 in 1/72 will be better.

Your kit is excellent and hard to believe that I can make it better But I will do my best.

Here we are with images of final sanding process of the kit. First image show this with also details of the cockpit. Second image is with the sprayed RLM 66 color in the interior but also over the sanded area to check out for the possible surface problems. Well- next one is with the protected canopy and first coat of the green grey color is place over the tail. In the same step I have also spray aluminum color at the wing surface bottom but i did not make image.... simply i forget this. And the last image in this group is the protection of the underside as well there will go with the light blue color.

I am very sorry for this delay in posting work in progress. I have some urgent orders last weeks so I have to stop all modeling works.

What we have here is the work on the protection for the rear fuselage band. First image show kit in final camouflage patter.
