Hi all,

Well, after 231 hours (f-ups and corrections included) the Owl is finally done.

The camo is freehanded.

Definitely not my best work in terms of assembly, but I am happy with the final result.

I also need to work on photographing black and dark colours as I can’t seem to get all the subtle color modulations to be seen better.

Luftwaffe night fighter camo is off the bucket list.

It was a lot of fun and stress at the same time, both in terms of painting and numerous fiddly parts.

As for the AM stuff, I used Quinta 3D decals for the cockpit, Aires resin wheel bays, ResKit wheels, some Eduard PE details and Master Fug 220 radar.

Hope you like it.

Best,
Nikola

Seems what ever issues you had you managed to build a fine looking model. Always liked this bird in this config/camo. I’ve been tempted to do one on and off. Well done.

Another beautiful build. I would have gone cross-eyed hand painting all those dots. Great job!

Wonderful work on the 219 Nikola!

Thank you mrb865. Mush appreciated.

As for the dots, they aren’t actually dots. The lighter lines were painted over the darker base, as was done on the actual aircraft. What seem to be dots are actually a result of lines intersecting. :slight_smile:
