    Thks Alan!I am basically done with the shading little things here and there nothing major though.She starting to look like a He-111 now the sides of the fuse and tail are not done as hard as the areas exposed to direct light.

    I busted out a box of pastels using a light white grey and an even lighter sand mixed started some blending.I had the airbrush set up with some flat I coat spray coat till I was happy....I think I am happy with the wings and the L/Tailplane.The build is starting to come together just longer than most for me at least it's getting artistic ATTM.

    What you fellas think got some powders laid down?I think a little to much yellow actually a sand color but might lay over a light grey to tone it down it's an experiment

    Decals have been applied I know we like thin but man some of these were just to thin I lost several.I have several mistakes in the paint all on the undersides 1) the white under the wings went one panel to far inboard.2) the white band on the tail is 1/16" to wide hint the "A" hit the white centering the "Z" and 3) the RLM 78 was to go much lower between the wing and tailplanes live and learn.I think when done 9 out of 10 people will never notice those mistakes so I march on.I made up the colors for the props,bombs and prop covers.

    Thks for the complement Dan I hope I do her justice.

    Thks Ken the build has had it's learning curves in weathering for me liking it thus far. I don't know what it is about the Africa Campaign but it does interest me alot these days Chris,Marseille's crate is in the stash also. Thks Alan this one is a teacher we wait and see if the student can take it forward. Last coat of clear hit the plane this morning already decals soon.

    I figured I was getting close enough to the end to post Mark.

    Now here is the progression on the shading I did not go black base on this typical Mr Surfacer 1200 was the laid and MM Africa 1942 Sand then the upper panel lines were done in MM Italian Sand.I then started inside of the panels with the Italian Sand(darkest) next came Yellow Zinc Chromate and on to white.I then came back over that with the 1942 slowly building it up I was still not happy with it pic2 so I laid down more #3.I started on the bottom with a med Grey for the panel lines and ever so lightly in a few panel started with the 1942 and went back over with RLM 78 you will notice in #4 R/wing has the dust and the L/wing needs more toning down.The toning down and dust came in #7 I like the effect.I then made a color of a lot of white 70% and 30%1942 almost pink I misted the wings up top and the spine of the fuselage a dust effect sun fade #5 did all the white also.I have the clear on it now and will do some more tomorrow before work and let dry good then decals and pastels

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
