I painted my engines with film grey, but i am not too happy with the result. You can still see the join line where the two parts join together. As you can see.

I am going to have to strip the paint and proper sand it. Use a 1000 grit sand paper It looks awful.
I didnt realise that it was in fact a JU88 rather than the flying pencil. I was into modelling as a kid, but I havent done any for years really. At the moment, I have gotten into making paracord bracelets - havent done that many yet, but I find it very rewarding. Hope all is well, purplefan. :)

I love your attention to detail Purplefan.
I do like making models for that reason, plus it FUN! I can sit for a couple of hours stick on some music and whittle away the hours.
Brilliant Purple such attention to detail. :)

After a lot of sanding and respraying i manged to get the engine sitting nicely in the nacelle. Will do a little bit of engine oil grease but to be honest the Luftwaffe looked after their planes really well and had 4 men crew cleaning everything in two 6 hours shifts. So not a lot just where the oil might have run down when putting it in.
Looks good hunni x

So rather than watch the news, i have been working on putting my engines in the nacelle. you can take off the covers to show the engine if you wish.
