The paint

It's always difficult to paint a twin engine aircraft. Especially when the fuselage has 3 colors

 

The white is little too large on the intrado wings, but it mask the junction between fusalge/wing that is not perfect

I've built a couple of these. One as a Belgian one and the other RAF.  I heard one story about a Pembroke landing at one of the Berlin airfields and parked up in such a way facing the 'Reds' side,  the crew, as they disembarked were all dressed up as VIPs, to fool the 'opposition' as to their purpose.

That paint work looks superb!

This will be good, I didn't know there was a 1/72 Pembroke! Getting on ebay right now 😂

 

I had no idea these were spyplanes either, genuinely thought they were for transport in RAF Germany. What spy equipment did they have, there's no lumps and bumps on them?

Would that be going for (Pem) Broke?

I'll show myself out...

Excellent paint job, especially given its complexity!  Have you thought about adding a little more white to the vertical stabilizer?  I'm not suggesting you absolutely/positively should do it, but it does look a little dark to me.

Lovely work Remi, you make it look so easy (which it categorically is not!)

You have must have right.

The next paint day, I spray a little more white on the tail.

Roundels and serials painted

 

The instruction let the choice of set the serial on the two wings or only one wing. I choosed to paint the serial only on one wing

This is looking really impressive.

[TheyJammedKenny!]

Nicely done!  Looking forward to seeing your next steps with this one.  Your masking is first-rate!  Remind me, please: what brand(s) of paint are you using?  Alex

[Rémi]

I use Gunze paint

For the white I use the H11 with an add of X22 Tamya Clean

The grey is the H335

 

For the blue line I use H15(7 parts) and H322 (1 part)

 

For the roundle : For the blue I use the H15, the red is a mix of H86 (4 parts) and H327 (2 parts)

[Andrew.S]

Really good job!

[71chally]

You were right to use the serial under one wing, very unusual on Pembrokes but correct for XF799.

This aircraft also carried the 60 sqn 'fighter bars' adjoining the roundels at one stage, which adds interest.

Lovely result Remi.

[Rémi]

For "the fighter bars" it is the next step.

It was to difficult to paint them. I will use the decals for them. I need only to cut them from the "roundels" decals.

[TheyJammedKenny!]

You stenciled and painted the roundels?  In 1/72?  Wow.  You really are an artist.  Alex

[Rémi]

I use a Silhouette printer for make the masks

It is a great help for the paint job

[Rémi]

Hi

The next step : the decals

All my apologize, but the "fighter bars" are in the wrong direction. I see it when I set the second face.

I tried to reset the decals in the good direction. But all my attemps fails and the decals started to be damage and broke in multiple parts.

Finally I choosed to set the second face in the same wrong direction

 

I painted the blade

I make a part to fit it on the engine. The initial parts is too thick (may be because I place the engine at a place not choose by Special Hobby), and not well molded.

It was more simple tom make more thin pîece .

 

With the decals, it's time to unmask all the windows

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[TheyJammedKenny!]

It's really gorgeous, Remi!  What did you use as your clear coat?

[Rémi]

I use the Gunze GX100 Super Clear Gloss (4 parts) and GX113 Super Clear Flat (1 parts)

Stunning looking Pembroke, very nice workmanship and finish!

 

  Stay safe          Roger

[TheFlogger]

I loved how she turned out. Especially props; xmas candies!

[Rémi]

I finished this Pembroke

 

The landing gear is too high but I haven't the courage to unglue it with the risk to broke it.
