Ettore Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Hello For a web contest with theme: "The desert" I started 2 week ago this Revell 1/72 Ju 88A-4 Bomber.Now I show you some passage about the construction. This is the box art and some Eduard phoetched I started with a very tedious job: the multiple metallics panels on the wings and fuselage; Fortunately, I am a fisherman and patience I do not miss. the part of the cockpit is always more fun, even in small steps, and I really enjoy it, more that the final color and oils washings. I prepared all for subsets The RLM 66 was brightened with a light dry brushing medium gray and a bit of silver, next time I show you the difficult task of closing the fuselage.

HAMP man Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 ottimo inizio, il tuo inglese è migliore del mio italiano! I have this kit waiting to be built I will be watching with interest. Stickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentM Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) I also recently bought this kit, considering it was far better than the old Italeri I had in stock. Nice to see what it's going to look like. You've done a really great paint job in the cockpit. Edited February 6, 2014 by VincentM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettore Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 To close and glue the fuselage was a hard step, I proceeded to areas with a lot of patience and I came to the end... It seems to me that the result is good, yes? After two day: the wings At next ! Ettore 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You are doing a great job on this kit. I really like the way you have painted the cockpit, it is very effective. I look forward to seeing the next step of the construction. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ettore, mi piace molto il tuo Ju-88! The Revell kit looks very well detailed and is becoming more attractive by the second... Are you going to use the kit's decals or are you going the after market route? Io aspeto il tuo prossimo "post" con un piacere esaggerato!

Ettore Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hello everyone Work has been progressing on the external surfaces, as you can see I glued the photoetched goniometric antenna with a drop of silver color. Inserted resin exhausts, these are for Hasegawa kit but I've adapted its with small plasticard pieces, note the window of the engine instruments visible to the pilot. This aircraft had the para flame, then with a thin plate for telephone cables I have built 4 Once grouted cracks I connected ammunition tapes to machine guns and finally I closed the cockpit with the canopy soon I will start coloring byeeeeee Ettore 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yes it is coming along nicely. I am really excited by that colour scheme, it is exactly the types of scheme I like to paint too. This will look fantastic without a doubt. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanja #66 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Wow, that was fast, putting fuselage and wings together. Looks great for now and, as Duncan, I can't wait to see that colour scheme, it will definitely be something different.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettore Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi all ! Here, finally lower surfaces colors, I started from a base of RLM 78 and RLM 65 to lighten, the next step was always brighten with light gray and then white.In the hinges and in the joints of movable surfaces I used smoke color, all colors are Gunze.......smoke Tamiya.
