IJ001 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Some self-explanatory progress pics: Still need to add more washes and a some more 'scuffing' in the 'pit - looking a wee bit too clean at the moment. Stay tuned. Ian. Dany Boy, TimHepplestone, LSP_Paul and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IJ001 Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 More progress. Quickboost resin replacement prop blades - worth getting a lot 'sharper' than the soft kit ones. Main construction done and wearing its' undercoat now. Ian. MikeMaben, Mark M, LSP_Kevin and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Loving it. I built the AIrfix 1/48 Stuka not too long agom, and felt let down with the scale. I need a BIG Stuka in my life. IJ001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IJ001 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 More progress: Started blocking-in the camouflage a couple of days ago. Lifecolour acrylics which seem to have fallen-out-of favor nowadays but I still get very good results with them; RLM71 Dunkelgrun first. * * * Next was the boring masking & spraying bit, so let's skip ahead to the 'reveal' this afternoon. All looks a bit patchy or chalky just now, but after it thoroughly drys for a few days in the Spring sunshine, I'll give it a couple of passes with Tamiya 'clear' from the rattle-can and it will all even-out then. Got a couple of days in hospital so nothing until the middle of next week at the earliest. AFN Ian.

LSP_Kevin Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Looking good, Ian! You'll have to count me among those who don't get on with Lifecolor though, I'm afraid. Got a couple of days in hospital so nothing until the middle of next week at the earliest. Good luck with your hospital stay. I hope everything is OK.Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IJ001 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Back to the bench after a little lay-off whilst I built some car kits over the Christmas & New Year holiday.... Hasegawa swastika's and RoG Balkenkreuz all behaving very well indeed. Should get the rest done in another session or two. Stay tuned. Ian.

IJ001 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Decals on and sealed under a brushed coat of Johnsons Klear/Future. I'll brush another coat over the major decals before masking and applying the white(s). Ian. Gazzas and Shawn M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooesboy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi Ian, Looking good! I'm curious as to why you brush on the Johnsons Klear? Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
