Winenut Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Wow Paulo! Looks great.

Keep it up my friend Cheers Bruce Hi Bruce Nice to hear from you. It is coming along nicely indeed. I was on holidays in Brazil (arrived late last week) and now I'm about to resume this building. Future has being applied as base for decaling, which I'll start over the weekend. Cheers mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hi all I wasn't happy with how the camp ended, so I have re-done it from the start. Re-sparayed the RLM76 and re-sparayed the RLM75 and RLM82 mottling. I also added some white to the RLM82 and 75 and sprayed and very thinned coat on previously painted to add some scale effect. I have applied the fuselage yellow band and wing chevron. That's it for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not far, but I'm suffering with the decals. Too old, they started to melt as soon as I got them in water. I've applied a coat of FUTURE on top of them and it helped. I had to borrow a few crosses from other kit to apply on top wing. It's getting in there (a lot of stencils to apply). Some photos soon. regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 The decals and all the stencils (too many, too smalls) are now in place and I gave it another coat of FUTURE Next steps: weathering! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudge Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hi Paulo, Just found this and read through it. Very interesting to me as I am doing the same kit, the Revell boxing. I enjoyed the intro and the personal story about the pilot and the individual aircraft. I like the personal marking, the 'E' and the pig. I will look out for this kit and pick one up if I ever see it. On my model I have used a few parts from the AZ models series of late 109's, they do help, especially with the spinner and prop. Great work on the painting and mottling. I was going to mask my top surfaces to get the sharp edge splinter scheme. Seeing you do yours I think maybe that would be wrong? Probably they were the softer edge sprayed on effect? I will do a little WIP and post some pictures of my build, I look forward to your comments. Cheers, all the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The change of spinner and propeller will greatly improve this kit, since it's the weakest point. Please share the link with us of your WIP.

ArmouredSprue Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 For the weathering I have started using Tamyia Accent Panel. For general grime and dust I use a combination of 3:Grey to 1:Brown. Here how it is at the moment: That's it for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Getting close to the end. After applying a matt coat, I did some weathering using dry pastels and pigments. Nothing worth photographing though. I already glued the undersides bits 'n' pieces such as: antenna, compensators, auxiliary tank and landing gear. I also have glued the head armour to the canopy. I did it using FUTURE as glue. That's it for now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
