azureglo Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The second finish of 2019: Hasegawa's near thirty year old 190 D? : Kit was bought at the Telford 2018 kitswap for £7 with frazzled decals and old style Eduard masks. Skys decals were used along with Mr Paint/Mr Color paints - main markings were masked and sprayed to avoid silvering issues. Some artistic license was used for the camo as the colours were a bit garish at first, but its done and in the cabinet, not my best but good practice nonetheless. The Hasegawa kit is an absolute honey, beautiful fit, thoughtfully engineered and lovely subtle detailing , if you have one in the stash, do yourself a favour and build it! I've bought two new kits so pleased that two were removed from the stash by the end of January-my resolution not buy anything till I finish an equivalent.

Courageous Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I'll have to try and remember to try you magnet mounting system. I was going to do it on my current Vampire build but forgot . Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen Modeller Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Great work there. Nice to see a Dora in flight. This kit looks nicer than the tamiya version. Might have to check it out 🙂 Edited January 29, 2019 by Kitchen Modeller Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Very nice. I remember building that kit. The new tool Hasegawa 190s were well regarded. Shame your Luftwaffe has such a pilot shortage though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers and see here 🙂 Re the kit, I've been picking up cheap ones here and there, certainly not worth the eye watering prices HG kits cost when they wash up in the UK. Mind you this boxing is intriguing but why you would want a semi naked teenager figurine as well is bit beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the inspiration for my Hobby Boss 190D from that kit, and I also like the series (but would have stored the resin figure with the spare parts). I would have bought it had my local mail given me the envelope I've been waiting since December 2018. Reasoning behind the characters being half naked? There's none.

I like to see the bus driver if the plane is in flight mode......Im sure any naked bits would be too small to be seen I'm guessing that if you do things right the magnent mouting could work across different stand/heights/possibly flight angles???

These are all giveaway desktop models and all recipients have specifically asked not have "silly badly painted toy soldiers" in the cockpits but a bit of detail. Actually thats the way Corgi, Oxford Diecast et all do them and folk seem to buy them as quickly as they're made without the unoriginal and tediously repeated remarks about drones etc. Re the mag mount, I'm experimenting in my Airfix build thread over the next few months with posing: If you simply angle the rod, the model rotates randomly and in some cases, falls off!. I think a rod top mount plate and multiple magnets may be in order inspired by this: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10111447 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
