Do 215B-4. Assembly.

Album image #1
The instruction is very bad....

Aircraft engine housings are assembled. The instructions do not have enough color and different views on the details.

The stabilizer is asymmetrical. Is this how it should be, or is the model a curve?

This is my first model airplane. When assembling the wings, there were problems with the landing gear panels. They are wrong. It takes a lot of cutting off the edges so that I can assemble the wings.

How good that there are nail files. I fixed it.

Built wings. And patched the joints of the fuselage and engine housings.

I covered the assembled parts with a primer. I started covering it with color. The color is RLM02 Gray.

It's my first time assembling a military model, it's hard for me to understand where what colors should be. The instructions show this very poorly.
Maybe you can tell me?

I found the coloring of the model at a scale of 1:48. I think I'll try to paint in this way.

I don't like to putty models. Maybe this means that airplane models are not for me?

Maybe you know other ways of stripping putty, besides sandpaper? Maybe an abrasive sponge?

I decided to start painting. I started with the blue color.

I like the start of this model, may I suggest that the MG reloads (you have them painted silver) be painted black with a little silver dry brushing to bring out the detail. Add a little thinned out dark brown as a wash to bring out the seat's detail.

Dave Flitton, Thanks for the advice. I used it. Maybe this is not what you had in mind, but it seems that it looks better now.

Looks a lot better, just add some flat clear to flatten the colors, you will be golden.
