Ahoy Nemanja!

Very nice! I wish I would have picked up the photoetch kit for mine. It was a 'learner' model anyway. I weathered mine pretty badly. However I am working on its bigger brother as we speak. Expect it within a week.

Thx for comment, for colors i think i will use for upper hull XF54 and lower mix of XF54 and XF 24. What do u think should i do panel lines on model?

Nemanja.

Very nice work so far, looking forward to seeing it completed.

Regarding paint, I used XF54 and XF24 on my XXIII as well as my 1/144 scale VIIB & IX D2, might not be spot on but looks good to me. Panel lines, weel that depends on if you can use your airbrush to do panel lines that small/thin, if you can try VERY thinned black (More like dirty water than paint) , you could even use Tamiya Smoke, as you will know this is a semi clear paint, put either on very thinly and build up the eeefect you want. If your airbrush is not up to it consider using ground up pastels applied with a thin brush, the model will need to be in matt varnish when you apply the pastels.

Hope this helps.

Looks good so far. Just out of curiosity what do the PE panels represent? Hatches, or what?

Yep PE panels replace hatches and some other things.
