Copicops

you choosed a nice paint scheme. Very well done

nice build, I really like the paint finish

I continued with metal parts, here is the engine, its very detailed out of the box, I just added spark plug wiring later, it doesn't appear in this picture. for the metal parts I primed them with black base from AK Xtreme Metal colors. Later I airbrushed AK Xtreme Metal Aluminium and then used chipping fluid technique on the colors. I don't want to varnish this parts so the metal chips keep their shine in contrast with paint roughness hope you like it Diego

Great Phantom!!! I like the paint weathering and patches!

Great model, I like the paint mottling and the metal parts weathering on the tail surfaces. How did you weather those metallic parts??

Beautiful aircraft, well done!!!

This is insane, probably one of the best self modelled project I have ever seen.

I like that cockpit, very well painted

I had a look at their web, they have many accesories for this kit but I will try to build it out of the box, the only thing I will try 3D printing are some turnbucles, as they will be quite small probably my printer will fail, its an old Photon S and I didnt use it for a while.

Continuing with the fokker, I made the MGs with the photoetched cover and finished the cockpit: I tried to make a circular polished effect on the ammo case with AK true metal, not really convincing but it will be not much visible inside the cockpit. Next was the cockpit weathering, I made some dust effects due to this aircraft flew from grass airfields. Then I started assembling the engine, its really well detailed, I primed it with mr surfacer 1500 but later I airbrushed another coat of AK Xtreme metal Black base.

Nice Mustang, its really well painted and weathered

This is an interesting project, nice model!!

That one is also a cool painting scheme and you nailed it, my kit didnt have the broken middle wing part so I was lucky for that. Im still thinking on how to paint upper camouflaje streaking and also the propeller layered wood effect. You made a great job with all that.

Hello guys, after many time looking at your wip topics and much learning from them, I just decided to post my first 1/32 aircraft model. Its the Meng Fokker dr.I as its not a big aircraft and my space on the shelves is limited. As far as I have seen, its a nice model with some issues such as the upwards curved wings that I could easily fix with hot water and some bending. Fit is really good so I will paint all wings and many other parts separately from the main fuselage. I decided to do the Goering Scheme from the kit instructions, as my last finished model was already too red (a Tamiya 1/12 Ducati 888) I am usually a very slow modeller, mostly due to my job where I usually am away from home several days per week, so this time I'm trying to make a fast build and decided not to add any 3d printed detail. Usually I like to add self modelled 3d printed parts. I tried painting some plywood effects on the cockpit sides and floor, in the end this is not really visible but I could practise a bit. The cockpit side planks were painted red so later I covered the painted plywood with transparent layers of brown-red. After that I painted the seat, cushion and belts. Everything was done with acrilic paints and acrilic washes made by mixing sepia Ink, gloss barnish (similar to future) and water. Hope you like it and sorry for my english, I may be writing with some grammatical errors.
