Cloudman1961 269 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 This is by way of a test, since I'm still a little technologically challenged. Trying to work out how to share photos, so apologies if this doesn't work. https://www.flickr.com/photos/157771830@N05/shares/6a3083 https://www.flickr.com/photos/157771830@N05/shares/CyR64E https://www.flickr.com/photos/157771830@N05/shares/00mWRG https://www.flickr.com/photos/157771830@N05/shares/01Ht11 I initially posted on the Stuka January and the original intention was to share the progress. Sadly I never got round to doing that. The aircraft is now in my brother in laws study, but I thought that some of you may be interested. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Whitewolf 185 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 That's very nice! Is that the kit interior? Or an aftermarket set? Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, It's the kit interior enhanced with a little scratch work, aftermarket stencils and seatbelts. Link to post Share on other sites

Cloudman1961 269 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Thanks for the kind words. For those who want a bit more info, I’ve used the Montex stencil set depicting the Ju87 B-2 trop deployed in Gambut, Libya in 1941. The RLM 70/71 paint is Gunze Sangyo acrylic as is the RLM 65 underside. The sandgelb overlay is RLM79 from Xtracrylix which looked rather bright until I did a colour wash in burnt sienna and then in black. Finally I added a small amount of white paint to Tamiya Matt Clear. When I blew it over with that, the colours toned down nicely plus I achieved an effect of light layers of sand on the wings. Interior was primarily Tamiya XF22 - RLM Grey (RLM 02) which is (I hope) the right colour! I was working on the basis that RLM 66 schwartzgrau was used later. Having heard so much bad press on the 1/24 kits, I thought this was a great kit, and if you have one stashed away, GET IT OUT! The only issues I had were a few broken pieces, but I can forgive that. The kit itself was about 35 years old and I must praise Airfix after sales who came through with replacements very quickly. Next up 1/24 scale Spit Mk1. Link to post Share on other sites
Sturmovik 2,472 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Nicely done. I still don't know how would I brush this three tone scheme. Link to post Share on other sites
Cloudman1961 269 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Thx The way I did it was paint the splinter scheme first - only in the areas where I wanted it. Then I painted the RLM 79 Sandgelb. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Buzby061 2,562 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That looks great, the cockpit is nicely enhanced by your extra work. I always fancied one when it first came out but my pocket money wasn't enough. Pete Link to post Share on other sites
Epeeman 2,034 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Great work on this old Airfix kit result in top notch model. Regards Dave Link to post Share on other sites
cybershed 191 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'm glad you posted the additional, pics as they really show your detailed work. Your cockpit interior looks amazing. It must be a fair old size at 1/24 scale! Link to post Share on other sites
