Jack Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 hi Jeroen, though i'm totally "not" into biplanes and WW1 aircraft, i'm impressed with the quality of your work, looks like you're having a great time building. I'm anxious to see the end result. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Beautiful work Jeroen! Decals certainly are the "leap of faith" for modelers. Couldn't agree more Doug. I've had several builds over the last few years ruined at the decalling stage, and it's so frustrating. It's no wonder that paint masks are becoming so popular.

Wolf Buddee Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanx Jamme. And here is how it sets. After a coat of matt varnish it should leave you with a painted on look. Cheers, Jeroen Looking really good Jeroen. The one thing I'd like to suggest is that the doped fabric usually had something of a semi-gloss sheen to it rather than a dead flat finish. This is going to be a gorgeous model when done! Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Wolf Hi Wolf, You're right. I'll finish this pup with a satin coat. Actually the Matt coating I use usually dries up that way. Thanx.

As mentioned I recieved the Hansa yesterday and just stopped by the LHS (aviationmegastore) and got me some Model Master Spandau barrels and LMG barrel. I pass that store almost every day, which is good to keep the stash to support the ceiling. Cheers, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Beautiful work Jeroen! Couldn't agree more Doug. I've had several builds over the last few years ruined at the decalling stage, and it's so frustrating. It's no wonder that paint masks are becoming so popular. Kev Of course, as every model I build has at least one major disaster happen before it's done, I thought I would use masks for my Legion Condor Eduard 109E as it had gone without a hitch to that point. Unfortunately, masks do not guarantee a disaster free build as the ones on the fuselage ripped up the paint when I took them off - complete strip down and start again Sorry for the hijack Jeroen!

jeroenpeters Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Sorry for the hijack Jeroen! Hi Doug, haha! Don't worry. I think this is the first time a Sopwith Pup has been hijacked! Cheers, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Wolf Grant Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Ahem .... any more ??? Am getting withdrawal symptoms ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroenpeters Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ahem .... any more ??? This one's for Obant! All the control surfaces are ready. Decals on. The decals on the rudder turned out great actually. Where would we be without Micro Sol / Set? I'll add some copper wire in the control surfaces and insert those in the wings for a better construction. Next step is adding the little metal eyes to attach the rigging.

Wolf Buddee Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Just for Obant? I wish I had read that before I looked at the picture, LOL!!! I'm lookin' forward to more progress posts too ya know? This is a beautiful piece of work Jeroen! Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Wolf Grant Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Wow, thanks Jeroen - mighty kind of you. Looking forward to even more. Cheers, Obant. (Now, where to track him down again ? ....

U-Boat VIIc Conning Tower, Spitfire, Albatros D.V. or ????) Well.... I was actually tempted to get back to an earlier stalled project: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=28011&st=0&p=241426&hl=+jeroenpeters%20+revell%20+162&fromsearch=1entry241426 Thank god for bread crumbs!

A.Wolf Grant Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Would you believe me if told you that I looked at the Salamander about 3 hours ago and I thought I couldn't possibly hassle you over this as well !!! (but it COULD do with a little kick-start though - lol). Obant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroenpeters Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Now.... where was I? After seeing a finished Pup today, I pulled mine out and dusted it off. (that sounds a bit weird...) It will not interfere with the Hs129 (much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
