I will also copy two posts by DHamel & myself from the same discussion. Hope that is ok too?

You have many questions within your questions and I think I can answer two of them now.
The photo of the spinning propeller reveals the metal blades with the wide bright metal roots that is, to me,the most common type.
The color of the circle on the cowling front ring is a red/brown. That is the dope that is used to cover the hole with a patch. The holes are there to attach the front ring. You will find the same thing on the upper landing gear covers in many other photos.
Will you add the glass cleaners to the windscreen and sides as seen in the photo?

After absence of 6-7 years from modeling and aviation there are so many things I would like to find out... and Luftwaffe with it's aircraft & men represents a field where things have been told so many times & still small details pop up here & there showing us new things that we have missed, didn't know... In the time I was away they even discovered that RLM83 is in fact blue! Can you imagine? happy.gif
Anyhow, thanks a lot for your input DHamel! Every answer is highly appreciated to help me with my doubt & gaps in knowledge! And am happy that both you & Steve are confirming my assumption that the aircraft was carrying standard, metal prop.
For the patch on the cowl ring, I have mixed medium brown & red and used that colour (kind of red oxide primer colour).
My canopy is still masked and not attached to the model but yes - I will try to add as many details around cockpit as possible:

1 - Decal for this came from Eagle Cals' sheet
2 - Sourcing the decal for this. Will check my Dora decals and see if I can find it there tonite
3 - There seems to be a bulge on the edge of the gun cover which is not present in my model. Unfortunately - i will NOT be adding this detail sad.gif
4 - Thing that is confusing me the most. There seem to be some part of windshield frame that is detached from main frame and I first time ever see this.
5 - I will try to add these based on image from Squadron's Walkaround
Best,
Milos
