Keeto™ Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hey everyone, Long time lurker here on Britmodeller. I have not had the chance for 16 years to build anything....that problem stopped recently with my little Fieseler that I finished a couple of days ago. All out of box, I only opened up the exhaust stacks as they looked a bit unrealistic with the solid mold. Had a lot of fun with it, especially the controversial "Vermicelli" paint scheme. I ended up buying a very fine empty Montana paint pen from Amazon and filled it with some Tamiya XF-23 and drew the squiggles with the paint. To me it looks okay. Took some experimenting to get it right and also the pastels for all the dust....great kit, everything went together fine, except for the port engine cowling that for some reason is touching the Argus engine...I'm sure I put that engine in straight so I must have bleeped up something else. Many thanks for all the tips and tricks I found on here! Hope you enjoy my effort. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 That is superb! I like the idea of a paint pen, never come across this before. The Tamiya kit is a real beaut, I've held onto mine for years fearing I won't do it justice. Well done on a very lovely bit of modelling, with a stunning finish.

Viking Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Do I like that? No, I love it! Great idea with the pen, littel tips like that are what makes this forum so useful. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polo1112 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Beautiful and outstanding Storch!!! The colour scheme is very unusual and I think you did it justice. Great work for me. Congratulations. Polo. :goodjob: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Excellent model and that paint pen sounds worth going after. Superb modelling, all the more impressive taking that 16 year hiatus into account! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeto™ Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Thanks everyone for the compliments and warm welcome. I forgot to include a link to the pen, if someone else wanted to try this, so https://www.amazon.com/Montana-Acrylic-Empty-Marker-Extra/dp/B006ZM19GQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470055157&sr=8-1&keywords=montana+empty+marker here it is. I filled it with 2/3 paint - which was too much for this kit - and 1/3 Tamiya X-20A. Also if you decide to use this method, get some extra nibs from Amazon. I'm currently watching youtube videos on how to figure paint because the Storch is supposed to get at least one Luftwaffe ground crew that is cleaning the cockpit windows...and the Sd.Kfz.250 that I'm working on now also has a couple of figures... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
