Sturmovik Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 My second Fw 190, I was able to not break anything this time, and correct a molding error Hasegawa had made on their right hand fuselage (the area designed to take the mounting tab of the right hand wing has too much plastic, and if it´s not corrected will end up with a step in the right fuselage/wing assembly. I removed plastic with a sandpaper and the Xacto until the fuselage sat flush with the wing). The decals were of the old Hasegawa style I´ve read so much, of an ivory colour, but they conformed perfectly to the panel lines and over a mottle with too much paint. Next time I won´t add mottling where the decals go. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thanks @Corsairfoxfouruncle, I´m planning to build more, however, they´re are in short supply where I live and I have to go abroad to find more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Smith Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Neat build, very crisp paint work, but most Luftwaffe types use some mottling, and the Japanese 190 retained the German paint there was a thread on this recently @Antti_K technique is very well explained, experiment with an old model, stippling the paint on is not hard, and would really enhance your Luftwaffe builds, which you have been asking about. We have at least one other Argentine member, @Uncle Uncool who is also Buenos Aires BTW. HTH T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks, somehow I missed the RLM 75 mottling while painting the model (I was guiding myself with my phone). 29 minutes ago, Troy Smith said: there was a thread on this recently @Antti_K technique is very well explained, experiment with an old model, stippling the paint on is not hard, and would really enhance your Luftwaffe builds, which you have been asking about.

Sadly I didn´t keep my old models, all of them were thrown into the garbage. Interesting to know that about Uncle Uncool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to know that about Uncle Uncool. Highly thinned paint shouldn't leave a blob, IIRC you are using Revell acrylics? If you don't have any old models, you can practice on anything that will take model paint the same way a kit does, food packaging or cheap toys for example. Essentially you need to look up methods of stippling paint, it's really easy this shows it well, but you need to have a go and find what works for you with the paint you use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To guide yourself while painting, take a photocopy of the decal sheet; then cut out the copied decals and stick them on where they should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 @Troy Smith I use Revell acrylics yes. Thank you very much for the video, I´ll make sure to put into good use what you showed me. @Marco that´s another good advice, I never thought on that one.

That'd be me. Hi, Troy! How's it going, chap? 16 hours ago, Sturmovik said: Interesting to know that about Uncle Uncool. Welcome to the forum, Sturmovik! Which part in Buenos Aires are you from? I'm from Capital Federal, in the town of Recoleta. I've learnt about a handful of other Argies coming to this excellent forum. This site is teeming with such impressive and talented modellers; what is more, top-blokes all of 'em, by the way. Troy's one of my good mates in here. Brit aircraft are my all-fave ones, especially, the Avro Vulcan; bedazzled by the beauty of the Beast ever since I was a three-year-old toddler. Hope you enjoy this site as much as I do. Cheers, Unc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
