More progress on the Darth Vader bird. I got all the stencils on and added the Mk.5 Tail Gunner Confusion Spiral to the spinner. Eagle Cal printed the curve perfectly so it wrapped right around the spinner. I also added heavy exhaust stains to the side of the fuselage and underneath using Vallejo 70.302. The drop tanks on these got pretty nasty as they leaked a lot and also were right in the path of the underside exhausts so I added a heavy layer of oil/mineral spirits washes and heavy chipping with Vallejo 70.882 German Brown. I also sprayed on some gun residue stains for the 20mm and 30 mm barrels/ports using Vallejo 70.302, again. Just about ready to put her together,

Thanks so much, gents! More progress on the FW-190; I added the matte coat using Testors Dullcote. I also added sone bare metal areas to the walkways and cowling panel release handles. I put the wheels on as well and added some airfield slop using MIG Moist Ground and some European Dark Earth pigments. Getting close to he finish line.
