Raised padding done, window masks removed...
Next and final (!) steps:
1) The exhaust stack, already painted, just needs to be attached.
2) 'The propeller, should be more of a darker wood sort
3) The radio mast + antenna cable
4) Cockpit glasses
And then the Junkers is more of less ready. Have not decided yet, if I should do any weathering, even light touch-ups..
Let's see what next!

Thanks Tom,
last details and then I would say, it's done!
I am rather pleased with the propeller. I base-coated the propeller with Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow, applied Burnt Umber oil color over top, and then dragged a stiff paintbrush across it to imitate the wood grain.
All the other parts have been attached; antenna, cable, exhaust stack and the cockpit glasses..
Finally I have managed to finish a build, I think I will have a beer tonight!
The end result soon to be seen in the "Completed builds" section

Right on! That prop is just money. There's some things you can only do with oils.

Day-um… that propeller looks very real. Is burnt umber artist oil acrylic? What type of stiff rush did you use? When you say over the top, do you put a dab on the tip for both sides?
I never could make anything to look like real wood on a model kit accessory.
