beefy66 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 looking good standing there on it,s own Julian I might just be tempted to get some of that wash stuff at Telford myself I normally just use thinned down oils but these things might help speed up some of my builds along the way Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Bernd, John, Thanks guys, here is some more progress: Working on the under wing exhaust stains. The wing has had its first dot oil wash, (think it will need another). Bombs are fitted. Still more work needed though 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Definitely big mate, and so nice too. The exhaust staining looks quite restrained, considering how much use and abuse these birds got. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exhaust staining looks quite restrained, considering how much use and abuse these birds got. Simon. Thanks Simon, I think at this stage of the war there was still time and space for sufficient maintenance. I always get the impression that the exhaust stains are burnt into the aircraft so subtle is a must. Very nice indeed, your exhaust staining has to be some of the most life like I have seen... Rob Thank you Rob, that's the sort of comment I really appreciate. Means I have been able to put my idea of how the bird should look on line. Coming to life now mate!

Gremlin56 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) 30/10 update: Dirtying the beast. Oil washes: No prizes for guessing what this is: Still squeaky clean and a long road to travel yet. Filipe's excellent build gave the push in the direction of this "Stash prisoner". To my utter disgust I see some silvering on the decals on the starboard wing near a filler cap. Can't have that Edited October 30, 2015 by Gremlin56 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomW Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 A masterclass as always oh how I wish I had skills like these. Regards Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The oil washes look like they're creating the right appearance. Very nice! With regards your question - if there's no prize I'm not guessing!! . . . (Wouldn't have a clue anyway - it doesn't appear to be a Spitfire!! ;-) Hope you manage to out the silvering decals! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundledonk Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Absolutely fantastic work Gremlin ! I love the paint scheme and you have executed it perfectly, the weathering is really adding to the realism and bringing it to life. Well done for adding all the stencils, I'm ashamed to say I let the side down on that front with my one Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
