Daywalker Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Finished this one tonight, after a VERY long battle that lasted right up to the end. Three different paint schemes on the same model, a new record for me! I must say, I am getting quite good at stripping down a kit after nearly finishing it and starting over. This one started out as red 6 of JG 300, on to black 5 of JG 52, and stripped it again to do white 12 of JG 51. You can see the WIP thread here. Here she is as red 6: And as white 5: And now, white 12: Final scheme using decals from Eagle Editions, which performed flawlessly. Their new sheets printed by Cartograph are good, REALLY good. Colors by Tamiya using custom mixes, weathering with oils. No AM parts used, save for scratchbuilt seatbelts, 20mm gun barrels from brass tubing, brake lines from fuse wire. Thanks for looking in!

Guest Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 That really looks good Frank! Very, very well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Ah Frank, that is a flat-out sensational looking model! Brilliant. You've absolutely nailed a realistic sheen to the paint work too - not to mention some fantastic but subtle weathering. May I publish it on the website?

Mikester Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Outstanding, Frank! Glad to see her finally across the finish line! I thought this one had "YOU NOT" on the rear control surfaces, or am I thinking of a different aircraft?
