Basic painting is finished 

first try to use BMF 

I think it's ok for the first time. 

but I wasn't able to get in around the engine intakes. So they are brush-painted. (perhaps they need a 3rd layer tomorrow) 

The decals are on 

Most decals went on very easy,.. 

...but the decals with big black spots didn't react well to decal softer (I had to keep the Eddy wet for about 6 houres to get the decal into the panel lines with an toothpick) ... 

...what caused paint damaged by the softer at multiple spots. I think I wil first protekt the decals with varnish before repairing the demage 

I touched up the damaged paintwork with a brush. 

Slight weathering, only a wash of grey-brown oil paint has been applied. 

I test-fitted the undercarriages with PVA glue to check that all wheels touch the ground. Once again the kit surprises with its excellent accuracy of fit, the undercarriage legs attached to the fuselage are about 2 mm too short.
