clive_t Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Afternoon folks, well it's been a couple of weeks I think since this particular model was completed, so 'better late than never' I guess. This is the first completed model from my attempt at a PZL-themed 'tri-andem build' which in fact turned out to be nothing more than the sequential build of 3 models all documented in the same thread. At the time of posting the WIP thread (here, for the sufficiently curious) is still active, awaiting me to gather the required courage to take on the last model in the sequence. I was quite pleased with how it turned out, despite many trials and tribulations with PE, decals etc, and a serious collapse of mojo partway through last year and well into this year. No matter, hopefully that's all behind me now. So, no doubt by popular demand, I shall cut the blether and just get to posting the pics: Thanks to everyone who looked in on progress, or commented, or just hit the like button! Your interest was, and still is, much appreciated 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hi Clive, this is a great Karas! The weathering is a bit heavy, but very realistic. Congrats!!! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive_t Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Thanks @Val_Ukraine and @jean for your kind comments. I would agree that I may have laid the weathering on a little bit thick, but I have a tendency to do that anyway and to be honest I quite like that look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Nicely done, and the photos are really good at showing the effort you put into detailing this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Excellent job! It really delivers the vibe of a war-weary machine, which is most realistic IMO. 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawsonsauce Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Looks great! Really screams "work horse" with the weathering you did. I'm building a variant of this model (an IBG Pzl.42) and the thought of masking the canopy is givin me anxiety! You did a great job on yours, did you do the inside too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Nice work on this! I've always thought this was a burly aircraft, and that comes through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive_t Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Thanks @TheyJammedKenny!, @kapam, @Dawsonsauce and @dnl42 for your comments, most kind of you all. 'War weary' is certainly a look I strive to achieve where possible - sometimes I overdo it, I think, but I just prefer my models to look that way. @Dawsonsauce I know of your exploits with the PZL.42, indeed I am following your thread! To answer your question, yes I did mask the inside as well as the outside, however I used bits of Tamiya masking tape cut to appropriate shapes, whilst the exterior masks were bought as a set. The biggest pain was the ventral gunner's position - the glass there needed mask bits about 1mm square, and stuck to everything except where I actually wanted it to stick! You may count yourself fortunate that the PZL.42 did not possess that particular adornment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
