dr_gn Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'm sure you're aware of this, but I'm pretty certain the raised rivets on the radiator ducts should not be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 This is really a masterclass, the rivets are amazing. Cheers Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnerdad Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I need to get this finished, so I'm going to try and get it painted quickly, therefore I've decided to pre-shade it and economise on the weathering. This was only supposed to be a quick build anyway, but it has not been as smooth a build or as good a kit as I had hoped so I want rid, but still want to produce something decent. There we go...

turnerdad Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Loving this work Nick. You do the neatest pre-shade I ever saw Except my Harder & Steenbeck airbrush "exploded" on me and covered me in black paint, I'm all spotty now. My fault, I hadn't screwed the nozzle on properly, me bad. Luckily it missed the model (well mostly)! Thanks for the nice comment James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnerdad Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Looking fantastic as ever Nick, I'll look forward to your next build, any thoughts yet? I'll be spending the next few days finishing a 1/48 Tamiya Lanc and Hasegawa Spit, then got a few days to get this Emil finished, as I'm then embarking on a comprehensive build of the new Tamiya Mustang for MIS, and I have to clear my desk for that as I should be getting it next week sometime. I cannot wait, not everyones cup of tea, but it is certainly mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnerdad Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Nearly finished painting, just got the interior green colour/wheel wells etc to paint. The Dragon paint guide is useless, no right side image and the left is a bit odd, so I've used the box art as my main source, but also the instructions and some online builds. Seems to be a solid "squiggle" pattern, and this is only representative really, there seem to have been so many different field applied schemes and I couldn't find any decent shots of the actual aircraft anyway, but no doubt it could be pulled apart by the experten, I'm out of my comfort zone with Luftwaffe schemes but I don't care really, time to get this finished for better or worse. Judging by the box images it should all settle down and harmonise with the decals and weathering. Honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnerdad Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Cheers all, but progress on EVERYTHING has stopped for a few days while I am having a new big workshop to replace my old teeny tiny one.

turnerdad Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 After the Mustang build and a long summer spent mostly on a canal boat with no possibility of modelling, I'm finally back doing what I enjoy most, namely building models (actually it's my second favourite pastime...). Going to get it ready for Telford, I'm going both days so going to have some fun unless I get run over or something before hand. I've started the weathering process, done most of the right wing and some of the fuselage, mostly around the cockpit and engine areas. I've also made a good start on the undersides. I'm running 3 airbrushes with various stuff in each but having a pain with the air lines as I've let my setup fall into some disorder so I'm going to have to upgrade soon, but I'm OK for now, it's just a pain. Also trying to get to grips with the new look website, I'll get used to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
