Manu Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, here is one of my latest build i finished a few weeks ago. The Tempest is one of my favourite plane with the Fw 190 D9. The SH kit is magnificent but it's not an easy build because the separate nose does not fit well. The plane i've realized is one of the Clostermann's plane. Thanks for watching, Cheers, Manu.

Buzby061 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 A work of art. Recently read Clostermann's The Big Show, a cracking read. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy da fish Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Well done there looks very good indeed. I have a MkII 3/4 built, but oh boy what a difficult build. Top part of the wing 2-3mm wider in chord than the bottom part of the wing. Cockpit to wide to fit between undercarriage bay walls and there's more. Rear decking is not supplied for the version that I am modelling, but it is in the instructions. Again well done Manu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce bay Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Beautiful! Would love to know what type of pencil you are using there for the chipping. Looks really fantastic. Was the dirt on the walk-strips done with pencil too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 This is a top notch build of this famous British plane. Love it. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manu Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys for your nice comments. I used Tamiya colours for an english WWII scheme. IMHO, they're the most accurate. The exhaust stains are airbrushed with a black brown mix. The streaks on the underside are made with a sepia acrylic Pebeo ink and a thin brush. The dirt on the wing root are simulated with diluted pigments applied with a piece of foam. The crayons i use are watercolours crayons. Cheers, Manu.

Graham T Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Beauty! I just finished mine (see elsewhere in the RFI section. I had issues but fit of the nose wasn't one - pretty near spot on in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks guys, the watercolours crayons i use are Prismacolors. Cheers, Manu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 They look like Koh-I-Noor Progresso pencils to me Nice work on the subtle chipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
