Hi Tim,

 

The cockpits are Hasegawa plastic with Yahu instrument panels, HGW seatbelts, thinned down kit seats. Painted with Gunze RLM66 and detailed with MMP paints. I hope you like them.

 

Regards,

 

Bruce Crosby

I do like them! They look very good! I was just trying to decide what to use on mine.

Hi Guys,

 

Progress at last! I got my backside in gear today and started painting. Lots of masking and messing about with bits of foam, but look at the pictures and I can give up typing!

Hi Guys,

 

I had a fun time trying to get a decent Grunblau colour on the Big Tail D-9.  First Attempt was Tamiya XF-21 Sky but I wasn't too happy with it.  Have a look:

Then I tried a home made mix of MMP RLM76, White, Basic Green and Basic Blue.

But it was too blue.  So I used MMP Transparent Medium with drops of Basic Green to make a glaze and misted it on over the blue:

And that's what I'm going with.  Luftwaffe colours are wide open to interpretation.  Nobody agrees as to the colour names or shades, so I'm doing the best I can in the circumstances!

Hi Guys,

 

Having trouble posting this tonight, every so often I lose the text!

 

Anyway, an update on the Focke Factory after a busy week doing model related things but not these Fockes!

 

Today was a full on painting day so I jumped in at the deep end with the D-13 Yellow 10.  Not the world's easiest to paint as every refence work has different colours.

 

A start with the spine in grey

and the lower leading edge

Some green

Sharp end

All of it

Stripes

Stripes AND cammo!

And that's it for the D-13 for now.

 

Hope you like it!

Hi Guys,

 

A very busy day today, cammo on two aircraft.

 

Big tail D-9 was first.

Hi Guys,

 

the second to get the treatment today is a straight D-9 that's going to be White 15.  Now Jerry Crandall's interpretation and JaPo's differ somewhat. Yellow nose or not, choice of colours, etc.  So here's mine so far!

 

I suppose the masking tape is a clue as to which way I went.

So that's three out of four models in basic cammo.  Tomorrow I'll be sorting the fourth one, then it's on to the bare metal under the wings, some gloss prior to decals, etc.

 

Regards,
