@Vincent - I like the prewar camo more than applied after. It doesn't look like a killing machine with these yellow wings, just a nice bird...
@ Robert - many thanks Robert, I am glad you like it.

I really love it (I am going to reproduce the same livery, but on much smaller model 🙂 BTW, what paint did you use on stabilisers?)

@Robert - 1/32 is optimum for my eyes but I recon you prefer 1/48 😉. I always use Gunze and this time it was C64 though Trumpeter reffers to C135 in its color chart for this particular camo. But my liking was for more lively yellow-green. After dark brown wash it got darker tone.
