Popular Post runik12 Posted March 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hello everybody! My second attempt to beat VIMY VICKERS. It has no relation to any particular prototype, nor does it have a historical link to the original. The fairing is not shortened, accordingly, the rear part of the fuselage was never touched. Just wanted a neat Assembly and painting with small additions in the form of glazing, cockpit, simulation of the power set, and other small things. Imitation of the ribs first made using strips of foil, it turned out rough, removed the foil and tried chiaroscuro. The set was old, the plastic was hard and brittle, but it was polished well. Cockades were applied through stencils. Braces-elastomeric thread for beading. I fixed them in the traditional way for me, otherwise I can't do it, my eyes are probably not the same or my hands. In General, I liked the construction site, I like "sewing machines". I found a lot of errors later, when it was too late to correct them. We will consider this construction a rehearsal, I have another FROG that is not assembled . Valejio paints, Mr.Hobby, self-made flushing from oil paints.

Work In Progress Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 That's absolutely magnificent. I have the Alcock & Brown transatlantic version of the kit which has slightly different plastic but is mostly the same, and I never thought it could turn out as well as this. Are those rib tapes really just paint effects? They are so convincing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I can't imagine applying rigging in 1/48 scale, much less 1/72. Exquisite model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Very nice again Mikhail - not easy to get something that nice from the old Frog kit! The rib effect is excellent and your rigging technique is outstanding! Not sure about the shade of green - seems a little bright to my eyes but I am no expert.

Эти ребра на самом деле являются просто эффектами краски? Они такие убедительные. 9 minutes ago, Baldy said: Снова очень мило, Михаил - не так просто получить что-то приятное из старого набора Frog!

There are much more ways, more plausible. Sincerely, Mikhail 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Wow, what an acomplishment! This looks fantastic, the rigging the wings, really everything about it and the fact that you did this with and older kit is just amazing. Congratulations and thanks for the additional tutorial on the rib tapes, simple approach but it really looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Nice work. I agree with Baldy about the green...a bit too fresh. Also, tell me about the shading on the ends of the struts? I have never seen that before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Я согласен с Балди насчет зеленого ... слишком свежо. Кроме того, расскажите мне о затенении на концах распорок? Я никогда не видел этого раньше. Hi, everybody. By the shade of green, maybe I didn't quite hit the mark. I looked at analogs on the Internet, the color of English planes of those years and their replicas displayed in museums. But perhaps the shade did not convey exactly. And the darkening at the ends of the struts will be considered my desire to diversify the color scheme a little. In reality, this was not the case. Thank you, sincerely, Mikhail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
