Your model looks great Peter. I think that the panel wash is a little heavy on the underside of the ailerons – but that is just my personal preference. I struggle with antennae wire, but yours looks very good.

Thank you!
Yes, it looks more like dirt. In retrospect I think I should have used black wash, not a grey one. Under the wings is actually where I started to try the wash.
The antennae are the third try... First I cut them too short, then when I tried to straighten them with a match the fishing line touched the match and melted. But I think too that it looks nice. I'll build a biplane soon where I can try to do the rigging of the wings that way.

Yeah I didn't mention the preshading because it wasn't new to me in that build 😄 but thank you!

Album info
Started as a kind of thechnique training model, I tried a few new things out:
- Using fishing line as antennae. Looks nice.
- Using a panel line wash to highlight them. Looks nice, but I need more practise, I think.
- Using bought window masks for the first time. They are awesome.
- Using Aftermarket decals for a different livery than the kit's. The decals had outstanding quality and I think they look rather nice. The slight wave in the decor lines one the side are my fault, not the decal's.
