Looks great with a coat of paint . Cheers

Thank you!

 

I have a plan about foiled skin in future, after completion of painting. It`s necessary to perform a local crack of paint over the liners and panels (like a result of external influences activity).

[TonyTiger91]

This is superb modelling work Andrii.

 

I stopped receiving updates for a while, I don't know why, but I just caught up. I'm out of 'likes', will return with some.

 

The foil work looks really very good; like a real aircraft. The rivet work is ideal on that surface.

 

The engines are small works of art  .

 

To weather the paint through to the metal will look very authentic; I'm looking forward to watching how you do this  

 

This is great to watch, good luck with the next step.

 

Best regards

Have you seen this?

You can read the language, I assume. Some inaccuracies of Revell (Plasticart) kit are mentioned so may be useful (unless it's too late)

Thanks, I will check it again, but I dont know that I have left (remained) from original kit by ADP Master models already. Many parts were reworked during the process.

Actually in this kit I found many inaccuracies by the manufacturer with the drawings. I tried to correct it as far as possible. In any case, this kit is satis because it is the basic for the modeller`s creativity.

The next step of this project is the painting of the upper side of aircraft. It will turn out of well I hope.

What do You think about (for example) an engines cowlings location? I propose to make it and put separately, in front of the aircraft (on the ground).

 

[SUNchazer]

I think, they need to be attached. The aircraft will have the best appearance. 

[TonyTiger91]

I forgot to reply about the German fuel bowser.

 

The Academy one looks fine; for a captured aircraft it will be the right choice .

 

Will you have figures and a diorama base? I'm trying to imagine it, in terms of engine cowling open for repairs etc

 

Best regards

Thank You for your comment, Tony. The diorama will be built in future I hope, and I could find the figures in 1/72 scale perhaps. A suitable display may be as a both engines maintenance by finnish airfield staff I think. But first of all I have to do a final work with aircraft painting and etc.

 

May be I can start to diorama work in next year (or over the next few months).

 

Sincerely grateful for Your help. Thank You.

 

Cheers.

 

Andrii.

Hello, friends. I slowly step by step continue to publish the results of my WIP..

 

Painting is in progress.

 

Very important!

Before applying a yellow stripes mark (propeller blades tip and fuselage and etc), You must cover the painting a neutral color zone first. I use a silver for that.

 

..end engines exhaust ducts... are done.

 

Cheers.

So far so good! 

Slowly and carefully I make chip through paint to metal skin. I use a sharp cutter and magnifying glass (and emotions restrain of course).

 

 

to be continue...

[TonyTiger91]

That looks superb Andrii  

 

Your patience with the foil is now paying dividends. I really like the chipping you are doing.

 

Yes, This requires controlling the emotions; well done .

 

Best regards

Thanks for that. I agree. An idea with foil applying has a good sense. This method gives the realistic visual effect of skin, corrugated surface and good base for chips.

 

[bbudde]

As above it looks really great. Cheers.

Superb work on a truly Jurassic kit Ozzyman69, very impressive detailing indeed. 

 

Don't use the Academy Fuel Truck for this project, IIRC its a T-Stoff tanker only suitable for accompanying their Me-163 (and similarly fuelled aircraft).  This version is probably better for your purposes:

Thanks for Your recomendation. It`s very important for me and for my project. But I looking for any additional material for the IL-4 in Finnish AF service. (The Roden Opel Blitz it`s easy to find here in any UKR models shop ).

 

Cheers.

Hello Andrii,

My knowledge of the Finnish language is very poor.

 

Nevertheless, I went to The Finnish Defence Forces Wartime Photo Archive:

 

http://sa-kuva.fi/neo#

 

I did a basic search on what I think is the word for aeroplane; 'lentokoneen'.

 

It produced over a hundred images.

 

They allow 'Creative Commons' use.

Many photographs have vehicles, production lines, mechanics and so on.

I think you could find some inspiring resources there. If nothing else, it's completely fascinating .

 

Hope it helps

Best regards 

TonyT

By the way I don't know, if you like Jazz, but I won't withhold you that as it's a great performance:

Quite frankly, I like a good music. The music should be warm. It`s made  me so much better. Thanks!
