Marcel Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Because of the heat (and lack of time first of all) I will be not able to finish my Blenheim in time. So I took my long-time project and I managed to finish my Gladiateur. Xtradecal decals, Tamiya TS-30 applied with my trusty airbrush. Thank you for looking. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks again. I used "invisible mending thread for the rigging and thin fishing line for the aerials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks. What paint did you use on the exhaust collector ring? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi Chris, as I’m a lazy boy I simply used "Burnt Iron" of Gunze. Then the lip was drybrushed with silver and some diluted clear orange (Tamiya) wash was applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Very nice build and interesting camo. Can you tell a bit about the markings, unit, any history behind? I expect that she is from East Africa, perhaps.

Natter Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That really is a stunner. Is there a smattering of etch in there for the sight and step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi Chris, as I’m a lazy boy I simply used "Burnt Iron" of Gunze. Then the lip was drybrushed with silver and some diluted clear orange (Tamiya) wash was applied. Well it looks real good to me. Too many people use bright bronze or copper. I like your better. It looks more real. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
