Finished, antenna arial had to be done a second time, the first one sagged a bit.

Now the details such as exhausts, guns, pitot tube, bomb rack and antenna arial, etc., can be added.

When the Dullcoat is thoroughly dry the Drafting tape can be pulled off.

I usually do a second coat of Dullcoat. By providing the same dull flat finish overall the sufaces the markings and the paint all look painted giving the model a more realistic look.

After all decals are in place and have been snuggled down with Microsol a coat of Testors Dullcoat is sprayed on. I find the Dullcoat in a can is the most convenient.

As each decal is in place and dried with a tissue microsol is brushed to soften the decal allowing it to snuggle down to the surface and looking like the marking is painted on.

Future (Klear) provides smooth glossy finish allowing the decals to adhere to the painted surface.

With the painting done the next step is to get the plane ready for decals by airbrushing the entire model with Future (Klear in the UK).

I personally dislike the Pale Green Brown Violet scheme, but that is what Rudel flew so here it is.

With the tape off the replacement rudder is a little more obvious.

A bit of touch up and the decal process is to begin. What is not shown is just how much 'touch up'. I was probably 3 hours and 5 paint changes and cleaning of the airbrush.
