Note the direction of the propellor blade as it passes infront of the axle wing.

Be sure that I have also consider air stream from propeller as well engive air blast.

All right, I talk to much. For me is far enoght that you and Taz state that details so I will do like that. More challenge to make detoriated paint and streak like they are painted

Looking good so far! Not sure if you did a search in the forum, but a couple of months ago I did the DML kit as Voss' F.1 103/17. Be sure to paint the lower wing cross field your linen color as this was not painted white as Eduard shows. Also I'm not sure if I would trust Eduard's white decal to be opaque enough to block out the streaks completely, I painted my fuselage side fields and upper wing fields with flat white. Then applied the black cross decals.
Keep up the good work.
