Reini78 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 #30/2018 Here´s my dad´s newest completion. Dragon kit with AIMS decals, sadly they don´t include the correct (without black outline) Balkenkreuz for the fuselage and upper wings, took them from an Owl Decals sheet. Gunze RLM70/71 for the splinter camo, MRP RLM76 (in my dad´s opinion too dark and blue-ish) as RLM65 on the underside and a brightened version of MRP RLM76 for the field applied camo on the upperside. Added brake lines with plastic rods and lead wire, antenna with EZ Line. My dad used bluetac/Uhu patafix for masking the field camo. The edges got too sharp so he oversprayed them freehand but you can still see the sharp edges look through and it caused some spatter. When you don´t really go close up you won´t see it, so, in the vitrine the model looks still good. To oppose the multi-engined allied submarine hunters over the Bay of Biscay between the northcoast of Spain and France, KG40 built up a Gruppe equipped with different types of Ju88C Destroyers. Most aircraft received a field applied additional camo and each looked different. The model shows the aircraft of Oberleutnant Kurt Necesany, 14./KG40, 1942-43 Bordeaux/France. He was KIA on 14th Feb 1944 at the age of 23. While attacking a USN PB4Y-1 his aircraft was damaged by defensive fire. Necesany and his crew didn´t make it back. Despite search attempts, no trace was found of them.

Nils Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Beautiful work and beautiful paint scheme. I’m currently working on a A-4 of KG30 as a digital 3D model and is now working on the detective bit with finding the correct markings for the era (april 1940). So sometime early 2019 I might have something useful to show for me 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Wonderful build Reinhard I really like the way your dad has chipped the canopy. Strangely I'm going to pick up one of these kits from a friend's place tomorrow. It was supposed to be for the Ju 188's fuselage. After seeing this I will have to think again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this was unintended, I think it happened when he removed the masks. But gives the model a nice touch 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I like that a lit. A refreshingly different scheme. Nice build and finish. Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 That looks terrific. A very attractive scheme beautifully rendered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Beautiful model. But I'd have thought that scheme would have stood out a mile over a solid dark grey or green ocean! Unless there were some white wavetops... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
