Honestly, it's taken me some time to select the two paint schemes--Eduard sends decals for eight very interesting machines and I've had a hard time picking the first two for this review.

Hello, :-salut

Is there a French one among these machines ?

Jicehem, I'm using only decal selections from the Guadalcanal set for these two in order to review them, so no French machine this time. However, I have an earlier issue of the Eduard P-39 and it almost certainly will have French markings along with the second set of PE parts from this review article!

Finally the upper surfaces have gotten a coat of paint. The one with the white band is now ready for clear coat but the other will be masked and second color sprayed......hopefully today. :-think

The final camouflage color is sprayed and clear gloss applied now. Time for starting decals maybe tonight.

Thanks, mate!

The decal application is started, first the many, many servicing stencils. As always, the Eduard sheet is comprehensive and it takes some time to put on all the stencils. Next will come the national insignia and other artwork.

Thanks, friends!

The decals are completed now and weathering is underway. Perhaps they'll be finished yet today......
