Dermo245 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi all and here's my latest finish, Revell's ex-Frog Ar-234 B-2 built for a 'Captured' GB on the IPMS Ireland forum. You can read the build thread here but in short: Extras: Small panel line rescribe, Cockpit details added, u/c doors replaced with plastic card; extra links on main gear; drogue chute line; new struts for RATO bottles. Paints: Revell Acrylics by brush, Klear, Flory Models Wash. Decals; From kit. Not my finest but had good fun and I think it scrubs up well for an old kit. Thanks for looking! Cheers, Dermot Revell_1_72_Ar-234_Done (11)r by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Revell_1_72_Ar-234_Done (2)r by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Revell_1_72_Ar-234_Done (3)r by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Revell_1_72_Ar-234_Done (7)r by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Revell_1_72_Ar-234_Done (10)r by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Revell_1_72_Ar-234_Done (9)r by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Revell_1_72_Ar-234_Done (8)r by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairtrigger Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 That has turned out great.... I have a soft spot for the old kits and re-box jobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Nice one, Dermot. It's turned out far better than the example I built about forty years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob85 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Very nice job on that Dermot! How did you achieve the mottled look by brush, something I’ve never done and has put me off building Luftwaffe aircraft as I’m also a brush painting kinda guy Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob - I used a small piece of sponge from a kitchen sponge; dabbed it in the lightest colour paint, removed most of the paint on some kitchen paper (like dry brushing) and then dabbed it on as randomly as possible. Sponge tends to clog up so just to watch for that 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
