The gradient between the green/grey camouflage and the black underside and part of fuselage and the rudder is sharp.

Panelline washing.
I forgot to weathering the bombs, what I'm getting now.
102 June 10, 2023
Weathered bombs.
103 June 10, 2023
Likewise the bomb bay doors
104 June 10, 2023
Because i failed the first attempt at weathering the upper side (it looked ugly), i had to repaint parts of the wing.
105 June 10, 2023
When looking at photos, I noticed a mistake I painted. The position lights are obviously clear in the original, so I stripped them very carefully so as not to damage the paint on the wing.
106 June 10, 2023
What I also noticed, when removing the paint, it must have also removed the putty too. So I carefully leased the very present position again.

Album info The photo is a print of a real aerial photo of test stand VIII Peenemünde Army Research Institute.
It was created after the RAF's massive bombing raid on August 17, 1943 (Operation Hydra with 596 aircrafts involved).
Unfortunately, the operation did not achieve its full effect and so there was only a delay of around four weeks for the A4 (V2) project.
That's why there were repeated attacks on the facility and identified positions and facilities on or for the A4. As far as I know, mosquitoes were also used for this.
I don't know whether the machine I built ever flew such a mission against the A4 (V2) project. For me it was more about the symbolism. The Mosquito - a nemesis for the Third Reich and its air force in the Second World War, repeatedly attacked important nodes of the German war machine through quick attacks. Here my case symbolizes the A4 (V2) terror of the Third Reich against England.
