Reini78 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 All good things come in three. Besides the Beriev and Kingfisher my dad starts now a Rufe, doing the boxart scheme. DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 already looking like a Zero the lower wing half to fuselage fit is not so exact, needs some filling and sanding DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0006 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he was building the Beriev I thought why not add some more seaplanes, haven't built any before. So he started the old Monogram Kingfisher which was now for a while in our stash. The Rufe was my Christmas present for him. Most probably he will also build Italeri's Ar196...😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 preshaded and trolley painted DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr and already some Tamiya XF-12 JN Grey DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0006 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Did some research and found out that the IJN Grey was used until 1940 on metal aircraft and afterwards for fabric surfaces. From 1940 on Amber Grey was used. Ordered that paint fom AK Real Color, so have to wait some days to continue with the build. Once again some preshading done DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 decals done they were slightly brittle, some minor touch-ups neccessary DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0006 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0008 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadMax8 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Considering the age of the decals, I’d say that was about as good of an outcome as your Dad could have expected! Also, phenomenal work with the airbrush! I just finished up the mottle on a FW 190 and it looks purely amateur compared to that result! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 If the decals crumble a bit leave them. I am sure the markings on the real aircraft were worn and weathered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin thanks! With the AK Real Color paints my dad used about 10psi and 80:20 thinner-paint ratio, sprayed with an Iwata 0,3mm. It depends much on the paint characteristics, always different. Try-out and gut-feeling 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
