Vingtor Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Apart from the last couple of photos (?!?), this appears to be a very vice model. However, with the closeup photos of the nose guns, you might possibly consider drilling out the gun openings....? Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Wow, very messy. I have not dabbled in these washes before. Do you wait for it to dry before removing the excess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Oops! Such a nasty slip on the bay doors, but good to hear that it was mended all right. Have lots of fun with the weathering now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) hi all another update this evening: I have been removing the dirt wash with dry and slightly damp tissues, and cotton buds. I have left lots in certain areas and removed more in others. I like the feel now it's starting to feel like one of those used 333 squadron mosquitoes i think. Untitled by I’m pretty happy where it is at now, so i have given the whole thing a matt varnish to seal it in preparation for oil details next. (i’ve not tried oils yet so i am looking forward to that - should be fun!) so onwards with the plan: · oils, · exhaust staining · gun cartridge ejection holes staining · guns are to be painted matt black and then dry brushed (and drilled out as suggested by nils - i have to figure out how to do that properly) · flat spots on wheels, · aerials and rigging, · undercarriage doors fitting.

Yes Ray, then wipe it off with slightly damp tissues and cotton buds, if you really soak them you can pretty much take it all off and start again. 14 hours ago, Christer A said: Oops!

Vingtor Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Very nice model, Paul. Normally I do not like very heavily weathered models, as it is easy to overdo it. But on this model it seems absolutely right. As the aircraft were painted in the EDSG/Sky scheme in the field, we do not know if all stenciling etc. was reapplied. It might have been. Job well done!

Christer A Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 This is GREAT work Paul! The sum of all painting, detailing and weathering is truly beautiful and it creates just the perfect look for a hard working warhorse. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Saw this in the gallery Paul, looks great BTW, in my opinion, the weathering isn't too heavy, it is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much Robert that’s so nice of you to say. Sometimes it’s hard to be subjective when you’ve spent so long working on the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
