vppelt68 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Looking very good, Dennis! Your build more than proves that the MTO was more diverse than most people think! V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hello everyone ... I managed to place the few decals on the Stuka yesterday. Most of these will be painted over or on the upper wings at least partially painted over. I also managed to finish the exhausts for the plane. Tomorrow i will do the Green distemper and matte black. Have a good day and as usual questions ? comments ? or jokes ? Dennis 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hello Everybody ... I was able to finish the painting and clear-coating on the Stuka today. I wasn't sure how to approach the final camouflage ? Mirror wave or just a plain green to blend the color together ? I decided to try the mirrorwave with the green. If it got messed up i could just go for the overal green. Im glad i went for the mirror wave as it turned out quite well and you can still see the original splinter through the wave. I was actually able to photograph it outside for once. Some close ups of the blacked out markings. Next is to place the single letter codes, weathering, and ordnance. Feel free to ask questions ? comment ? Or say a joke ? Dennis 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Top job Dennis, the answer may be looking me in the face? Are the markings blacked out because of its night time activities? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Hello @Ozzy ... Yes some night harassment FW-190’s that flew across the channel in 1942 were also blacked out like that. I believe it was SOP for daytime aircraft rushed into the night harassment role. As time progressed and more aircraft arrived at a unit they could take there time in applying low viz markings. If you look closely i painted the wing crosses out with green and just left the white outlines. And the lower crosses were covered by the bombracks. I just overpainted the area and never placed them. Dennis P.S.- Heres a link to @FalkeEins blog. About 2/3rds down the page is a photo of a night harassement FW in Sicily thats been blacked out. http://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2013/01/?m=1 Edited June 2, 2018 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Nice! The fin looks impressive. I like how you can still see the decals. How did you do the tiger stripes? Did you already explain it, and I missed it? Edited June 2, 2018 by Thud4444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Hello @Thud4444 ... Thanks for the comment. No You didn't miss it. I wasn't brave enough to try the Mirrorwave freehand. They're done with The U.S. equivalent of Blutac rolled into worms. About 75 minutes to roll all of them.

That is pretty amazing - I guess you would need to be working at 1/35 at least to pull this off - if not 1/16 - but it is a beautiful scheme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hello everyone ... Bit of a delay here and on my 262. I pulled a stupid and put an X-Acto through my airbrush finger. It fell and i went to catch it just as it landed on my desk. Result ... X-Acto bounced up just as my hand came down. Sliced through my index finger on my right hand.
