Daywalker Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I like the "smashed flies" effect, how did you accomplish that? bsarnoffca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Those must have been really, I mean really huge flies . I love the engine detail, though! Beautiful. Looking forward to see the rest of the airplane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waroff Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 how did you accomplish that? it's easy, I use a brush very sharp for made little spot of "gouache", and before it is dry, I wipe with the finger Those must have been really, I mean really huge flies . Perhaps hummingbird? goose? turkey? more photo Model in progress The brush gear between hub propeller and reduction gear is too long Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Boillot Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Bonjour Waroff, Good to see you on this forum. Very nice work (but usual from you I should say, following you on other French-language forums - if they can really be called French-language, seeing the usual syntax massacre there -). ...and you made my day ! For once, I am going to correct the master of science (for anything French and flying) Waroff ... The R-1820 was a Wright engine. Pratt & Whitneys had, if I recall correctly R-1340 (the Wasp), R-1840, R-1830, but no R-1820 ! No malice intended, It is so good to see you and your work over here ! Hubert.

waroff Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 I used white paint. when the paint is dry, I wipe it with a wet clothe to obtain the same aspect as on the photo (in the center) We can see the difference between both wings I began added the flaps cowling made in sheet of aluminium Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waroff Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Some picture the color blue was blue varnish (Lionoil prussian blue) All part in Alclad receive one coat of this varnish before assembly. The coat was not removed yet. This H-75 A9 receive left aileron from another aircraft. Some part received one coat of primer yellow zinc chromat, air fillets was bare metal. Around each hatch we can see the coat of primer tinted green color sprayed over over the yellow zinchromat. For paint the model, I spray Alcald II aluminium. When this coat is dry, I spray several coat of "blue transparent"(Alclad II) The model is not finish.
