Hello

One precision I forget to mention to you .

In Paris the engine cover are painted in 2 colours , right side RLM82 (bright green) , left side RLM81 .

The antenna fairing above the engine cowling is unpainted ( a gloss dark red brown bakelite piece) .

The interior of rear of the engine cowling and well as the mobile jet  exhaust is while (ceramic paint to resist to high temperature) , the annunal air intake of the engine is either RLM02 (like in paris or camouflage paint ) .

Dear all

here is a way to compare the both colour under the tail plane the RLM76 , under "15" the green_grey colour.

This later colour is seen on Fw 190D-9 , He 162 , He 219 , Fw 190A-8 and Bf 109G .

I compare two wrecks of Fw 190D-9 , with this colour  reproduce on He 162 and they are the same .

RLM65 , is see here on W.Nr 120015 UNDER the WINGS . It is a separate sub-assembly . The tail unit is RLM81/82/76 , the wings are RLM70/65 , the Fuselage is RLM81 /Green-Blue, RLM81  the engine is one side RLM81 other side in  RLM82 ....
The landing gear doors are not in RLM65 , one is coming from W.Nr 120087 all are in Green-Grey

Dear all

After having test all Photoshop possibilities , I have begun a serious work on Fw 190D-9.  Yesterday I spent all day , doing the layers with the shpae of differents sub-assembly of the machine , fuselage , engine wings , rudder , tail ....

separate mayers alos cover the wheels , the rudder , the canopy .and so on ...

It is too long to describe all layers  ...

Now I concentrate on the canopy , not less than 5 layes are used to represent this part .

layer 1 Shape of the canopy frame
layer 2 Shape of the amour plate
layer 3 panels lines and details (bolts ..)
layer 4 weathering .
layer5  shadows and highlights

I will show you other seaprate parts of the drawing when finished , I have few time betweeen my family life , my third book, my job ...

Hope you like it

Eric
