CheshireGap Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Thought I would quickly get something up here before I get to the painting stage of my latest, the Revell boxing of Hasagawa's handsome 190 D-9 in the large scale. I seem to have taken a long time with this one and made life difficult for myself by ever-so slightly misaligning the wing spar which then throws out other areas of the wing to fuselage joint. I managed to get it perfect on only one side, the other side and the under-fuselage insert requiring more work than I would like. As you can see the new technique beign tried out for the first time on this one is a full riveting job The underside with all that engine detail on view And a close-up of all those rivets (which took me forever), not perfect but hopefully will look OK under a couple of layers of paint Edited September 8, 2017 by CheshireGap Spelling 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheshireGap Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 More progress, here we see the primer down and a layer of silver in key places ready for some salt chipping, which in the event I forgot to do, some preshading and RLM 76: To show how the pre-shading works, up next is the first past with RLM 84 and then the second pass which evens things out a bit whilst still keeping panel lines distinct - its hard not to go too far here and lose the effect, but hopefully there is no need for a high contrast wash here. The same process is followed on the wings for the Grau-Violet and DunkelGrun, the rivets look a bit prominent here but that may lessen after the varnishes have gone down With all the main colours down it's time to break out the montex masks and do the crosses and squadron markings; swastikas will come from the decal sheet Weathering has begun with pastel work, I won't be breaking out the tamiya smoke until all this is sealed with gloss varnish; rivet highlighting is all being done by pastel at this point to keep things low key 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheshireGap Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 The Dora is now on its feet, weathering is done, decals are down and (not shown here) all the small bits are added and matt varnish is down. All I am waiting for is a replacement set of seat belts as I really did not like the HGW versions I had in ready for this - too bright, I think too long, and virtually unposeable as they always spring back to their original straight form. Some Eduard steel ones just released for the Revell A-8 are on their way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
