replicant Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hello mates, here something brand new. This is my little swallow i fell in love with at Nuremberg Toy Fair. Tamiya 1:72. Started on July 05, 2018, finished on September 30, 2018. There are wheels, some etch, masks and exhausts from eduard, as well as the extra separate decals from the house. This was pure fun to build! Cheers, Tom 39 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Really good looking! I wonder whether such decals would also be a solution for German meander/squiggle camouflage that is otherwise near impossible to do in 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hi, Tom. That is a superb presentation. How did you paint the green mottle or are they decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempestwulf Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I have got to pick me up one of these. A unique IJAAF plane with great camouflage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Excellent job on the build! Those decals work quite nicely for the mottle camouflage. How easy were they to work with? Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Cut it out, Tom- now you're just showing off! Your usual outstanding work...ho hum! Seriously, I'm not a fan of these markings, as they are done to death, but yours is the best I have seen in the scale. Keep 'em coming! Unglaublich, meine freund! 🍻 It is Oktoberfest, is it not? (Sure do miss the real thing when we were stationed at Wiesbaden from 1965-67!) Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Excellent Hien - everything looks right and convincing. Those camo decals should be a real time-saver, although I would probably miss the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK for me. Tomorrow is the last day of the Oktoberfest, they say 7.000.000 Maß (Litre) Bier this yier... Wiesbaden is de hessische Äppelwoi .....Cidre.....

Tbolt Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Impressive work and great job on the aerial wires, I always hate doing those. The decals do look really convincing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Beautiful! I love the green camo over the bare metal. All the painting is so crisp. Also, major kudos to you for such great aerial wires! I never had the skill or patience to do them. I have a Hasagawa Hein in the stash from the mid '90s. Maybe I should get this new one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Learstang: They work good, yet i sanded them thinner and made 14 smaller pieces out of 4 with partly removed transparent areas Cheers, Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
