BloorwestSiR Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Geesh, you're fast. Congrats on the young one's milestone! Looking forward to the beauty shots! Thanks Shaka. There really wasn't much left so it was fairly easy. We're doing a bus tour of the city as he wants to ride a double decker bus.

BloorwestSiR Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Well done job.Looks just like in the movie. Thanks Erwin! I think the ones in film were a bit dirtier. But I'm happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Oil streaks look good. Thin wash + unloaded airbrush? Don Thanks Don! I used very thinned rubber black, put a drop on the model and then sprayed it with the airbrush like you described. I did mask off the leading edge of the panel lines so it would mostly go rearward in line with the airflow. dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Lovely build and finish Carl. I must admit though, a bit like Erwin's first build in German markings it does look odd to see a Mk IX in B of B warpaint but then the film makers used all sorts of Spits so you are technically correct!

Erwin Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Thanks Erwin! I think the ones in film were a bit dirtier. But I'm happy with it. They were.But they were repainted before the movie to get them in BoB period colours.So they were "brand new" at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Thanks Max! It certainly is different but the markings are correct for the film appearance of the plane. One of those things that makes you go "wait a moment".
