Erwin Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Looking good already. Still haven't decided on my next entry...P-47 or STUKA.The Fw Dora might fit into the next GB. I guess the "Defence of Germany" will get many votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Looks great Allok!! You made mention of accurate colors. What brand of paint are you using? Hi Jerry. I use Tamiya acrylics which I mix myself using a couple of handy conversion charts I found online. This is also my first attempt at "scale shading" where a little white is added to compensate for scale. This should work well as the Micro flat I put on afterwards tends to darken the paint slightly anyway. I'm going to use the Eagle Strike "Actung Stuka!" sheet which includes a very good painting chart. I'm led to believe these decal sheets are quite well researched. Still haven't decided on my next entry...P-47 or STUKA.The Fw Dora might fit into the next GB. I guess the "Defence of Germany" will get many votes. Same here Erwin. Can't wait to put some of my 190s together now that Larry has sent me all the bits I needed! (More reanimating required) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngoMango Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Marvellous work you're doing here Allok....you're capturing the sinister look of this a/c to absolute perfection! Can't wait to see the next round of progress shots mate. Keep up the great (and speedy!) work. Cheers Ango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Post Op photo. Surgery is complete, bandages should be off by the weekend. I hate masking, the sooner this is over the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allok Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Bandages off. Masking and painting were reasonable successful this time, didn't break anything off and there's only a few little spots that need touching up Yellow bits and blue bits are next. Cheers, Keith.

Erwin Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Very nice ! I find it strange that you didn't add the wheels when building the LG. How are you going to place them now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 BUGGER!!! Knew I'd forgotten something! Just kidding. Wheels are done, I have a cunning plan... I generally leave a large number of parts off my kits untill after painting. In this case the wheels are substantially hidden by the spats, so I decided to leave them out untill I had finished detailing, decalling and weathering them. They are seen here as a mock up only.

Allok Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 WHAT THE...???? Seems everyone wants to be in my pics... I spotted this Pholcus phalangioides in one of my shots, said to have the most deadly spider venom in the world (Although, totally harmless to humans). I didn't see it when I was taking the photo!

GVINCENT Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Looks great! I have to know how you did the magic wheel trick though! How did you install the main wheels after you put the spats together and painted them! Gary V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allok Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 How did you install the main wheels after you put the spats together?! Hi Gary. They are a tight fit and still not glued in... more work needed . Need help though: Who knows, for sure, what colour the rims are supposed to be? Black or Grey?
