silverburn Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Cheers guys - good to know I'm on the right track! So far this has taken about 6hrs to do from opening the box...but I think the real challenge is tomorrow, when I get the tamiya weathering pastels out for the soot and the individual panels, and do some more chipping & dry brushing. Oh and I've given up on masking the glass myself - total nightmare - i've wimped out and bought a mask instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) What did you use for the weathering ? Getting the pastel shades on will really bring it to life, so that should be fun !!! Liking this. Built the 1/24 Stuka when I was a kid, love it for it's ugliness and lots of detail. Unfortunately, that one tried to fly off the stool with the help of a mate. Needless to say it caused an argument !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited December 13, 2009 by woody37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverburn Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) More work in progress...still got a bit to do I recon. In particular the exhaust soot needs to be better, and I need to increase the chipping around access panels, common areas. It's getting there...slowly. Part of the walkway decals been sucked off by the decal bogey man... But the biggest travesty has to be the prop. Good lord, it's ugly! It looks like it's been lifted off a completely different aircraft with this scheme. I'm toying with repainting the cone the match the rest of plane!

Honeybadger Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Name me one bit of a Stuka that isnt ugly. Looking great though, i cant wait to see it finished. Pity about that decal... is there anything you can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it should be a relatively simple paint-in job - not perfect by any stretch, but a definite fix that won't be noticed by Joe Public from 3-4 feet I recon.

Erwin Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Please correct me if I'm wrong. But it's my opinion that Luftwaffe props were painted black-green and no yellow tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanflyer Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 True enough Erwin...like the one at Hendon: Not nit picking by any means, Silverburn - just thought you might like to know sooner rather than later. At least you can make an informed decision as to whether to change it or not. Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem a strange combination if they were... While I'm on, I may as well add the latest pic - swastikas and guns! Did my Ju88 at the same time...

Erwin Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Nice paintwork on both. But I fear the Ju 88 swastikas to small. Should be 2 cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
