KOTR Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 ...a closer look. Boy, is she filthy! Well, the Verlinden book on the 109 says, the DB engines were pretty "wet", so I did a generous wash with raw umber and black oil colours. Just did belly and wing coolers/flaps at different stages, so they look different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanH Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 What a fine 109. When you wake in the morning you should walk past it and tell yourself you did a damn nice job and feel good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsarnoffca Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Beautiful build. Excellent detailing on the antennae...spring and all. Very nice photos too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hannover - Germany Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hi KOTR, very nice K4 there! Great shading and weathering. But why did you used the small main wheels? The cockpit looks excellent! Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTR Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Thanks for you comments Uhm, Chris, small tires?? Well, seems, as if I cut the wrong tires of the sprues. There is a confusing amount of them in the kit, and my progressing cataract, you know...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hey KOTR, I LMAO at you comments on the paint and the ambulance... ...also the one about postings in the other forums ( I sooo know what you mean mate ) I love your K4. It looks fantastic. I tried to seat belt thing out the side like you but I made a hash of mine. To be fixed at a later date. Yours looks great...nice touch man. I think the whole tactical number thing looks very realistic for me. I recently visited our War memorial where there's the G6? in original war time camo and its just like yours in many respects and soooo not like many of the perfectly airbrushed specimens we often see. Great work...love the table... Oh...you can fix the tyres...jsut add another 100 psi :-) Cheers Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPNGROATS Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 KOTR: Very nice job on the K-4...I esp. like the chipping on the prop...what exactly do you mean by "white spirit" in reference to thinning the artist oils..? TIA, Cheers, ggc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTR Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thank you, glad you like it "White spirit" is the word I looked up for the stuff I used. Artists usually use turpentine to thin oil colours, but as that stuff is a little expensive, I used a cheaper substitute, the literal translation from german is "turpentine substitute". Its a little like enamel thinner, yet I think it works a little better with oil colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
