Hello!

Yesterday I realised painting scheme I used for the motorcycle does not match the aircraft’s scheme. I followed the box art and painted it dark grey like for European theatre and the airplane for Balkans/North Africa. I should have painted this bike desert scheme.

I think I won’t place this bike in my Ju 52/3m cargo bay. Instead I’ll give it a little display case and have it on my desk at work. The aircraft will get BMW R75 with sidecar. I’ll buy ITALERI 1/35 kit and rescale it to 1/72.

Anyway, the bike is almost finished:

It seems I need to work on my painting. I simply use too thick paint. As a result I stuffed driver seat springs with paint (picture 1) and had to make new springs (picture 2). What do you think?

Regards,
Marudek
