PhilB Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) This is an oob build apart from Eagle Cals decals(superb) and a Quickboost trop filter. Original build thread here: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=31093 Paints were mainly MM enamels and clear coats. Weathering was done with pro-moddeler washes, Tamiya weathering palettes and both wet and dry chalks. I've tried to depict this aircraft in the Libyan mud during the winter of 1942. No more talk, just lots of pictures: More soon. Phil Edited November 26, 2010 by PhilB LSP_K2 1
WrongWay Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Another beauty Phil! I'm now sold on this kit after seeing the finished photos. The rivet detail really does it for me! Not sure I'll be building an F out of it but it's on my list now. Thanks for giving us a proper look at this kit. Cheers, Don
big matt Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Fantastic! The paintwork is outstanding. Great job Phil!
dodgem37 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 You have done one nicely detailed build, Phil. Of all things, I just love that boss! Something about those silver speckles that create a contrast between them and the RLM70 (that is, I presume the boss is 70). I sure hope mine turn out as nicely as yours. Good show. Sincerely, Mark
rafju Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Wow Phil, love it! perfect result and instructive build Many thanks for that. raf
LSP_Kevin Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Fantastic model Phil. I'm sure many modellers who weren't sure about this 109 from Trumpy will be convinced when they see this build of yours. Kev
williamj Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Great build Phil..think I like the shape of Trumpys spinner better than Hasegawa's(oh oh) .great job.nothing fishy about this one at all.
Out2gtcha Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 BRILLIANT!!! Said it before and say it again................awesome! Brian
Kagemusha Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Very nice, and to a non-experten it looks quite comparable to the Hasegawa offering.
LSP_Ron Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Really nice I really like the weathering you have done. Looks spot on Ron
PhilB Posted November 3, 2010 Author Posted November 3, 2010 You have done one nicely detailed build, Phil. Of all things, I just love that boss! Something about those silver speckles that create a contrast between them and the RLM70 (that is, I presume the boss is 70). I sure hope mine turn out as nicely as yours. Good show. Thanks very much to all of you for the very kind words. Mark, yes the boss is RLM 70. I was doing a bit of dry brushing on the prop blades and I wanted to get a worn look to the spinner. Some time back I cut down an artists brush to remove sanding dust from panel lines: Its pretty stiff and works well for that. I used this very much in the same way as dry brushing. After removing most of the paint on a paper towel I "stabbed" it onto the boss in a few areas. Using the ends of the bristles gave the effect I was looking for. Much simpler than other methods I've used and I'll use it again. Thanks for looking in. Phil
Lud13 Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 That is one sweet desert 109 :) Paintjob and weathering are awsome... Dejan
