runik12 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Good day, colleagues! So, finally, I finished my "Black Cat". Carried with her for 3 months, I wanted to slightly improve and diversify the interior, then more and more. By the way, to simulate walkie-talkies, electrical panels and other equipment I tried to use all kinds of SMD components from the old computer motherboard (engineers at work helped). They just fit in size and shape. You can experiment endlessly. I put lead in the nose for stability, but when I put it together, it turned out that the tail was still heavier. In general, the heavy construction came out, so I had to put it on a stand. Separately painted the wing and fuselage. First, in Tamiya aluminum, it blew matte black from above, then, with a wet nulevka, polished black in places to visible “metal”. Well, then I took up oil with white spirit. Top coated with matte varnishes, on the sides matte + glossy (mixture). The junction of the "glass" with the body paved with strips of aluminum self-adhesive, pre-knurling. Redid a lot, not much. Some errors came out on a macro shot. He painted as usual with paints Mr.Hobby, Valejio, art oil from the times of the USSR. The latest photos show the stages of work. Enjoy watching! Sincerely, Mikhail. 53 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 A most impressive build. The interior detail work is exquisite, as is the detail of the engines. And the photography is among the best I've ever seen on this web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhutchi Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 That's astonishing, a real pity that you can't see all the interior details but amazing nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Ranger Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Beautiful! Possibly the best example of a weathered black finish I have ever seen. The late neighbor of my late parents flew one of those in WW II and described it as the best aircraft he'd ever flown. I have no doubt he would be impressed by your model.
