Pin Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Not my best effort, could not get the paintwork quite right and therefore could not fulfil the full potential of the kit 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I would be proud to have built that model! It makes me wonder what your best effort looks like..... Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Coombs Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Lovely work there! I bet you cursed the scalloping on the leading edge, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Sorry? Did I read 'could not get the paintwork quite right'? Well I wish my 'not quite right' paintjobs were even half as good as that one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Well, I have to say I wouldn't be happy with the paint finish. I'd be absolutely over the Moon! A beautiful model of an aircraft completely new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Beautiful model of a type I've didn't know existed. Slick modelling! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Thank you gents for your kind words. As it was noticed 6 hours ago, Steve Coombs said: I bet you cursed the scalloping on the leading edge, That requires a lot of masking (I was again thinking about investing in cutting machine). The problem is that I have run out of Mr.Resin Surfacer and used regular Mr.Surfacer for priming resit that has worse adhesion. When mask are applied, removed and reapplied again small chips of paint peel off that require another round of sanding, remasking and repainting in order to avoid visible edges, that, in turn, lead to another chips, at some point I just said "enough" and simply applied patches, they may not be visible on the photos but they are there. Another story is that many of intricate details are buried under many layers of paint. Well built? NOT MINE!!!!! : This is "PR-5" - the elder brother of PR-12 made by Valentin Muchichko http://modelismoymodelistasaviacion.blogspot.com/2012/09/plane-pr-5-esc-172-by-valentin-muchichko.html but I know that try as I might I will NEVER reach this level. Model that I built and happy with? 2 hours ago, Twentecable said: You painted the wood? Yes, the wood is painted. I have explained the technique somewhere on this forum (with pictures) - apply base colour, "flesh", "tan" or "buff" - draw texture with short, hard haired brush. The technique is very similar to dry brushing but leave slightly more paint - blow "clear yellow" or "clear yellow" with a drop of "clear red" atop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Both very nice, but PR-5, which is an evolution of Polikarpov R-5 I like the most ! Excellent painting work! Regards J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
