I love the precision of that red, and I love how it accents this beauty. I showed the photo to my wife and she said it’s “Sassy.” Which is a high complement. Sexy as Hell with that red on her. Very nice.

I agree the masking and the red came out great!

I am quite happy with how this came out.

I also notice that people who don’t model often like very different aspects of our hobby. They don’t want to know how you did the motteling on a 109. They like gliders, a colourful Komet or a diorama.

That is true, Rmemco. Something about red and white. Well, white with just about any bright, solid color. Well done, Sir.

What a delicate looking aircraft! The proportions remind me of my Ta152H build.

After a gloss coat I have putt the decals on.
I used some pictures as reference. I am building PL-74 and it has had some changes in its paint job over the years. But I settled for this one.
