Frank083 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hello from Canada! Let`s introduce some of my work with one of my last project before my temporary retirement! Here is the old Hasegawa 1/48 kit built 12 years ago! Aires engine & cockpit, True Details wheels, Eduard PE set & Eagle Cals decals. The all riveting work is made by hand with a needle & millimetric paper strips! Few scratch extras like plumbing & electrical lines in engine bay! « Mickey Mouse » from II/JG5 based at Alakurtti in Finland during spring 1944 & flown by Major Horst Carganico. Hope that you like it! Frank 34 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteo44 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Great work!!! I like the general weathering... very nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Beautiful and dedicated work – certainly worth much more than that 25 cents! ;-) I'm a bit curious about the original camouflage. Was the machine finished in a single grey scheme, or is there in fact a multi colour pattern under all the weathering? Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerning the paint scheme, the original pattern consisted of standard RLM 74 &75 as splinter camouflage on top surfaces & mottling of same colors on sides. The underside was a classic RLM 76. Following my research, this machine was later over painted in white to reproduce a winter camo. The idea here was to replicate some color fading effects by applying the white wash very gently & then scrubbing away major areas of this patchwork in order to slighly see thru the original splinter camouflage. The rest is oil paint filters & washes!😜 with the weathering effects, the all thing turned grey...😁 Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
