Great photos guys, this will help when the paint time comes...
On KL's photo, is the rudder at some angle or it is darker shade than vertical tail?
cheers,

It may just be the angle, or, since it's a replacement rudder, it might have been a slightly different shade, with the paint under the white camouflage being black, perhaps, whilst the fixed fin's underpaint is green, but that's just conjecture.  Here's a photograph that shows them where they appear to be the same shade.  Again notice how the wing leading edge outboard of the undercarriage nacelle is light-coloured, leading me to think the wings outboard of the wing roots had the white camouflage.

Regards,

Jason

Hi Dada, Jason and Konstantin,
it looks that only the wingroot and the tip of the landing gear nacelles were left with the summer camo. White stops just a bit inside of the nacelles.
But, look how badly connected were the gun bays panels over the wing of the first plane inflight!

Massimo, I'd noticed that about the gun panel.  It looks like someone was in a hurry!  I'm looking forward to your build, Dada and I'm glad you like the photo (and you also, Martin).

Regards,

Jason
