Davek72 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Snail pace progress but at least it’s starting to look like a 110...     You will note a very small amount of filler on the joint between the engines and the wings and a small amount of sanding on the nose.  All minor stuff and the engineering is lovely.   Dave  6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davek72 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Getting there oh so slowly.  Underneath spray painted RLM65 using Vallejo and the wing tips masked and painted yellow.  Looks like a little touching up is required.   Cheers for looking.  Dave  6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Black Knight.  I should say that I take Vallejo RLM conversion with a pinch of salt but this is the official chart for Model Air.   Pls note I understand Vallejo have given different equivalents in the past.  Dave   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Looking good - and a lot better than mine - but it will outrun yours in range, because my plane´s got drop tanks . V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davek72 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 A cost of RLM75 on the top (not the recommended Vallejo equivalent (which just looks too dark)) but a slightly lighter grey which was recommended in one of the forums....then a bit of masking....    Now the important question is why am I putting myself through this when I am going to spray the whole damm think white....sods law is that I will lose any hint of the splinter markings underneath...  if if anyone has any hints as to how to do winter camp please let me know.  Dave  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Well done! Looks a lot like the earlier RLM 02/70 splinter scheme but I know cameras and/or phone screens do nasty tricks to these snapshots - and there's nothing wrong with 02/70 either!

V-P Quite right but in any event it is now buried under about 10 this coats of white....    I think  it looks ok and once the relevant washes and stains are applied should look suitably grubby.  Dave 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davek72 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Decals on and very nicely they went on indeed (even the wespe)...but she is going to need quite a bit of weathering...        Thank you for looking.  Cheers  Dave     6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
