Roman Schilhart Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Dear fellow Britmodellers, winter is coming! This is my 1/72 Arma Hobby Yak-1B in whitewash camo, built from the "Expert Set". Painted with Mr.Hobby acrylics, photos by Wolfgang Rabel. The model's upper surfaces were first painted in standard camoflage (green/black), then oversprayed with White, representing the aircraft of Major Boris Yeryomin, Stalingrad area, 1942. The chipping and wear-and-tear were created with Tamiya masking tape and Vaseline creme. Thank you for your interest! 59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Wonderful representation of a Russian Winter white distemper paint scheme. I may be naive, but how do you use the Vaseline? I am very curious about this. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. Thank you for your interest, George. There's nothing special about Vaseline, any type of fat cream (Nivea etc) or even Marmite (no kidding) will do. I covered small areas, using a bristle brush, where I could imagine some wear and tear of pilot and mechanics. After painting the creme can be removed with a moist tissue, will leave no residue, and reveal the basic paint beneath. On the rudders, I used pieces of Tamiya tape, and ragged their edges with a hobby knife. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Badger Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Thats spot on. Really great job with the chipping very realistic looking for a battle hardened airframe. Chapeau! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
