Doug Rogers Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 That looks fantastic, I was looking for a decent Stuka in 1/48 for an idea I have, looks like the Airfix kit will do just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Very smart!! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 What a great result! With a big design like your snake it can look a bit false, but yours looks well integrated. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jherek Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 That looks fantastic, I was looking for a decent Stuka in 1/48 for an idea I have, looks like the Airfix kit will do just fine. The only downside is the raised rivets and panel lines. The cockpit lacks a bit of detail and the canopy should come in more parts but the kit is great for its age.

Jherek Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) What a great result! With a big design like your snake it can look a bit false, but yours looks well integrated. Regards, Adrian Thanks, I think the key is good decal setting (I used microsol for the first time on this model) and the post decal weathering, the all over filter helped to pull back the colours and integrate the decals.

Jherek Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ok, It's finished, I have to get up early tomorrow so I don't have time to photograph it properly. I'll do this tomorrow evening, rather than post a poor image, I'll leave you with this 'instagramed' image as proof I finished before the deadline - Shame the me262 didn't make it. I think you would have liked the planned camo scheme, I will of course finish it and post the results in this thread if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jherek Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Well, I rushed the last bit, lost a few antenna bits to the carpet, broke off the under fuselage aerial and thought I could spray matt without masking (you shouldn't). This model could have done with more weathering, more exhaust soot? and general a little more time in the final stages. Not 100% happy but it's ok. Thanks for the comments! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Wolwe, Thanks for the kind comments, the photos are taken with a Canon DSLR using a white card as background and a cloudy sky for lighting PM if you want more details. The matt varnish is Windsor and Newton Galleria Matt, which is very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolwe82 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Windsor and Newton are making artistic oil paints, right? Just asking, what kind of varnish is that? I mean, if it is enamel or acrylic based? About the photos i ll definitely ask you later, but i need to get some camera first, making photos with my basic phone now so theres nothing much to set 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jherek Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's acrylic based varnish. As for cameras, get one that gives you control over aperture, shutter etc. preferably with manual mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolwe82 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks, i ll have a look around, but need to save for it first Last question about the varnish , what are you using for thinning it? Can you use some classic modelling thinner or need some special W N? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) That 110 looks absolutely awesome. You must be really happy with the finish, surely despite the last minute problems. Excellent job. Tom. Edited June 2, 2014 by Tomjw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
