Thank you!

Well, sanding was "a long moment of solitude" as we say in French...  :))

I have also studied following steps. Eduard lozenge decals are not accurate, I will develop that problem later.
And for what concerns rigging, I will not use photoetched parts Eduard proposes: look nice, but too tiny to manipulate during the rigging phase, andit's PE then it's... no volume.
i will work as I was working when I builded WWI fighters some times ago; so I've drilled holes in the lower wing.

Yes, for the lozenge I don't understand Eduard...
For the PE for haubaning, it's rather a good idea but that seems so difficult and even impossible to apply with my shaking hands...

Eduard does sometimes have " funny " solutions even on the new kit's...... However your job is great !

Thank you!

Not big progress today, but I've begun to mask the surfaces that will not be airbrushed with primer (for use of Rub 'n Buff later in the process)

I envisage also to use "EZ Line" for the first time for haubaning That product have the ability to be extensive, as you can see

Well, I hope that results will be good with that product ;)

Anyway I have finished to mask the panels. Ready to paint now (after Xmas of course...)

...And then, Burnt Umber oil paint generously applied on the surfaces, than removed (loooong process...) with sponse.

Looks good to me...  :))

Excellent updates!

I agree with the concept of the PE for rigging. The look of the various clevises and terminal ends is very good from the profile view, but no thickness of the part is a drawback. I appreciate the effort to try and make the parts from metal, but one would have to machine them from aluminum or brass to get a prototypical shape. It's a hard problem for sure, especially in small scales! I am very interested in your use of EZ Line and may just try this also if you have success.
