elmarriachi Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 *** UPDATE *** The wings were painted with black primer, then the beige color was sprayed in several thin layers on the wings, keeping the black color as shadow. Once dry, thin stripes of Tamiya tape were added on the wings, then Tamiya Smoke sprayed along the maskings. As soon as the color is dry the masking was removed and one further thin layer of beige color sprayed over the wings again to homologize the colors and to weaken the effect a little bit …. That's how it will look alike once the wings will be mounted …. CheersMicha Fooesboy and dutik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanKB Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Speedy, accurate, skilful, impressive, inspiring - everything I'm not. I generally as a rule don't build anything in the same year I buy it. In some cases, the same decade. This is seriously good. WNW kits don't lend themselves to speedy builds - at least with me - so I'm very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 *** UPDATE *** The finished wings were mounted and glued to the fuselage. The wheels are finished - the kit offers three different versions: Plastic spoke 1-piece wheels, wheels with closed rims, separate tires with etched 4-piece spoke rims. I used the last ones which look really great I think. Once finished the wheels I have installed these with to the fuselage. The exhaust was mounted, painted in iron color, then used Lifecolors rust colors in differend shades, then black pigments for smoke on the full exhaust. Now some further paintings and weatherings, then painting of the propeller, the bombs and bombracks. Then rigging ...

dodgem37 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Missed this up until today. Apologies. Really good show. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 *** UPDATE *** The propeller of the Albatros was painted. First a layer of Lifecolor Acrylics beige, then masked and painted with darker brown. Once dry I have added a layer of dark brown oil colours on the full propeller and wiped it in the direction of the texture to bring back the wood grain under it. Once dried I have sanded it and gave it some layers of glossy clear coat and more sanding .... then installed it. For the rigging I have glued some turnbuckles from Gaspatch Models to the wings. These parts are absolutly best on the market in my eyes. Great help, great look! Next step - adding the rigging itself, made of EZ line glued to the turnbuckles.
