Another fine build in progress Brad! Don't forget the German landbased Naval units tended to use a lot more shellac than the Luftstreitkrafte units (German Air Service). Why, I don't know. Maybe better protection against the salt sea air or it was something controlled through their purchasing dept. If you see an area that you know is normally wood but there is no wood grain present it may have been shellaced. The French and some British manufacturers used shellac on their props by the way. Model On!
