Looks really goood , nice work , top class 

[Draken35]

Thank you!!!

OK, she is finished now:

The last works were:
- a little bit of weathering (very light; it's a new aircraft in the Palombian airforce...) made with Mithril Silver from Citadel Colors
- Airbrushing of matt cote (Pébéo - simply excellent)
- The gunpowder is made with Tamiya pastels
- masking of the cockpit is removed (with no correction to do... I'm glad for that)
- wheels and other little elements are placed.

The photos now:





















Thank you all of you for your kind comments during that build!

Wonderful! And I do appreciate to celebrate a Flitzer twin-boomer without evil swastika, thanks!

[Draken35]

Thank you very much, Tophe!

The problem with the svastika is:
If I wish to build a WW2 German aircraft that is historically correct, I need to put a svastika.
If I wish to manifest that I dislike nazism, I don't put a svastika... But I'm historically incorrect...

Better to build Palombian aircrafts, anyway 

The base is not definitive, but I've put a piece of Verlinden's tarmac: it's more "accurate", isn't it?

Really nice model, superb 

That is such a cool looking aircraft - I doubt that we'll see a 1:48 kit anytime soon, so with this build and a few others that have been seen here, I guess it's time for me to go buy one of these teeny-tiny things. Hmmmm, maybe IJA colours.... or Spanish.... or French.... or (fades to grey, exits stage left)

what is the paint you used for the tires as it looks very realistic?

Thank you all!!!

For the tires, I've used "Dark Rubber" from Panzer Aces (It seems it's a subdivision of Vallejo). The result is effectively ecxellent. I like also their "Light Rubber", perfect for WWI aircrafts...

Marvelous

Draken,

Nicely done.  I agree with you on the Luft '46 stuff and prefer to find alternate markings for these.
