Winenut Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Great build and scheme Fuad. Congratulations. That tri-colour Soviet upper scheme looks spot on. I had trouble with that on an II-2 and got some great tips from Roman. You both nailed that Grey/Blue,Mid Green,Tan/brown finish which I greatly admire on those Soviet aircraft Well done Cheers Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Fuad, Another beautiful model! I have the kit, and have always wanted to build it, but have yet to summon the courage to attempt it; no way can I match what you have done with yours. Very, very nice paintwork and restrained weathering/exhaust streaking! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very nice paintwork and restrained weathering/exhaust streaking! Mike Do it boldly, Mike. There is nothing difficult in it. I used Russian photo-etched parts (Gonza named) inside, but, believe me, they are completely unnecessary. The set is completely self-contained. But you can just add belts.

VG 33 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hi Fuad Your Pe-8 is fantastic. I built the same kit when it was first produced and rememder as an easy kit even for a big one. I had trouble with transparencies which were subject to vary in size depending of temperature and humidity. Maybe I could make another one later and compare to other four engine bombers of the time.

Zarichta Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Superb job Fuad. I really liked this camouflage and colours. I am researching about this scheme using AMT-1 (or A21m) / AMT-4 / AMT-12 and AMT-7 in my IL-2m3. Did you use acrylic paints? What colour or formulate do you used? Best; Cristian.

AeroNautique Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 An impressive beast, you must have spent a lot of time masking off those transparencies, there are frames everywhere! I also noticed the gun turrets at the back of the inner-engine nacelles...I've never seen that configuration before, guessing there was a tunnel in the wing to access them? Imagine the noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Tamiya acrylic paints: АМТ-7 XF23:60% + XF2:35% + XF8:5% АМТ-1 XF52:5 + XF59:1 АМТ-4 XF67:90% + XF4:10% АМТ-11 XF54:60% + XF2:35% + XF8:5% АМТ-12 XF53:95% + XF2:5% But after painting job İ use some color "filters" for smoothing the colors and removing the contrast.

Imagine the noise I used ready masks from Eduard. And there really was the passage to the towers in the nacelle in the wing from the fuselage.
