Michael Schubert AuthorAll masking done for main body and lower wing, just a couple of touchups needed and some detail painting, then clear coat, decals, and then flat clear to finish and add the top wing..starting to come together.

Michael Schubert AuthorTouchups done, decals on, now the waiting game for it to fully cure to seal it all with Matt clear and mount the top wing..getting close to complete now

Michael Schubert AuthorCompleted, but now waiting on glue to dry for final pics.
There needs to be a slight bow in the top wing to connect properly, so it won't just sit in place while drying..hence the tape.

Michael Schubert AuthorAll finished,
Pretty happy with the result, still learning to airbrush after decades of either spray paint cans, or brush work. First real attempt at proper camouflage and rigging a 1/72nd scale, so a few things I'm happy turned into ok haha 👍

Michael Schubert AuthorThanks Jennifer! I find this scale both super fun, but also daunting sometimes as I get a tremor in my dominant hand, which makes things rather interesting..thanks for following along 😀

Jennifer FranklinI would never have known you get a tremor in your dominant hand. The model looks to be skillfully built.

Florencio TorreVery good work, I can't find the SPAD XIII colors the same as the one you are painting, could you tell me what colors you used and what brand?

Michael Schubert AuthorAhh, goodness, that's stretching my memory haha let me have a think and I'll let you know @Florencio 👍

Michael Schubert Author@Florencio, the colours used are from SMS paints, they are manufactured in Australia, but have started exporting to some other countries..
From memory:
forest green - dark green
British interior - light green
Dark earth - brown
Tan - tan
Camo black - black
And i think the blue was Zurc Exia Blue
