As I intended to make an high altitute fighter I added an oxygen mask and goggles with putty for the pilot

primed everything with Alclad black primer (excellent stuff)

As this aircraft had a simple plain grey upper surface and a plain blueish lower surface I experimented with preshadowing for the very first time to give the later surface color a more "uneven" look.

preshadowed the lower underside. This preshadowing process took me surprisingly not too much time. about one hour altogether I believe

This is the upper surface after a careful paintjob with the airbrush and Alclad color. I am very satisfied with the outcome of the colors

Lower side also finished. Looks also promising. Will do this preshadowing regularly in the future 🙂

Finally the finished aircraft after decaling, panel line wash and a careful apply of exhaust stains near the mufflers. I wanted to finish a rather clean machine, not a battered one.

The no 32 squadron badge is just provisional - a woven badge is already ordered and underway to my hangar
