The cowl has been painted with Model Master Chrome Yellow then masked. The lower wing surface is done with Polly Scale RLM-76. Still have to do the lower elevator surfaces then the camouflage colors will be applied.

Did a little more work on the wing today before the heat got to me and I crashed in front of the A/C.

Really need to look into an A/C unit for the paint room.

Swanny, the yellow part is too short! This is abaut 1/3 of wings length!
The yellow color is till here

Just my luck, I used the painting guide from LTD for this because I could not find any pictures of the lower wing. Fortunately it is not too late and I can go back and fix that. Thanks for the input - this is why I'm posting these shots here, to help fix some of the errors before it's too late. Nothing like talking to the people that know the subject matter best. Now where did I put that sand paper?

This is a commission piece and the customer has selected the aircraft with the four leaf clover. I have two more kits waiting to be built and I may use that scheme for one of them, the other shall be converted to an M model.

112 white:
131 white Felicia:
134 white Mamy:

112 - Lt. Toma Lucian (53sq leader)

131 - Felicia was lost in late 1943 ( Galati school) with student pilot Eugen Eftimescu and rest in Brates lake (both the plane and the pilot).
I don't have the info for the pilot who paint the name Felicia in 1942.

134 Mamy - possible pilot Scully Logoteti ( the original picture is from his collection album).

I've spent the last couple weeks moving my operations into a larger space so haven't gotten much doen. Now that the new model room is up and running I can start working on some stalled builds. First is the LTD IAR-80C 1/48 that I have been detailing. The kit guns have been replaced with Aires Mg 131 resin barrels and the landing gear have been installed. The gear retraction strut is scratch built as the kit does not include this part.

And work has resumed on my second Koster 1/48 Fw-200 condor. Here are some detail pieces that I have been working on -- the rear upper gun station and the front upper turret along with the radar array for the nose. This particular kit is sooo close to being done I can hardly wait to get it off the modeling table. This one has been dragging on since Christmas.

Nice work!

Don't worry about the color - my camera seems to be shifting to the pink a little.
