Cherny Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 It took me just 9 years to finish this. After a lot of problems, I finally got it done. Model is completely rescribed, interior is scratchbuilt, but can't be seen at all. I drilled the exhaust pipes and made new position lights from trasnparent plastic. The model is painted with silver, then various panels were masked and the model was given two light coats of Tamiya Smoke, then the masking was removed and I sprayed one more thin coat of Smoke. Model is finished with Model Master flat, and the result is simply awful, it made some white "mist" all over the model. Decals came from Revell boxing of the kit and they are the best I ever worked with, the film became totally invisible after some treatment with Mr. Mark Softer. Comment welcome!

thx6667 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Nice job, how did you get on with the kit? I found it a bit of a bear when it first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Looks good. That's an interesting way to get the different metal shades too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I find myself strangely drawn towards this aircraft, can you get a kit in 1/48? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherny Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thanks for all the comments! Jonathan, the kit fit is pretty good, except the wings to fuselage fit, and the biggest problem was lack of locating holes for the landing gear legs and struts.

jacksdad Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Excellent job on a lovely looking aircraft. The He-70 was a really nice aircraft. I am going to pinch your panelling method as it is very effective. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
