mcdonnell Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hello,Russ - My compliments to you on a beautifully built and finished '123'.That camouflage scheme is an awesome piece of work and is a credit to your mastery with an airbrush. All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tony Thanks Tony, that`s one of the reasons I started the Chinese sub theme to my WWII stuff, means I can do some different stuff now and again.

Learstang Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Beautiful Hs-123! I've always wanted to do a Chinese version (I've built two German versions, and a Spanish Civil War version), but I think I'll stick with an overall green topside over grey finish. There's no way I could (or would) do this complicated a scheme. Regards, Jason Edited May 18, 2016 by Learstang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestFan Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 That's great, the camo must've been a pain though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 That's great, the camo must've been a pain though! Yeah it was an experience, I did it a bit at a time, a wing one day, a bit of the fuselage the next and so on, spent about 45 min`s a session. Glad you like it, Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yes, that is very well done, the scheme really sets it apart. Kind of reminds me of the strange 'doodling' the Austrians had during the First World War. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Very beautiful - the painting of model was for sure difficult, but how difficult it was for a real thing! Cheers J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
