BloorwestSiR Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Man that looks sweet!....Harv Thank you Harv! Oh yea..I actually thought the winter overspray would encompass large sections of the airframe..glad it's not. That red just pops! Thanks Shaka! There are several different interpretations of the winter overspray. One even shows almost the entire plane. Mine is a bit of a mix of a couple. Carl, FLAWLESS and Neat painting.. you have a very steady hand for skilful airbrushing. Looks Perfect from Over the pond! Thanks Maru! I tend to brace my arm a bit so that helps.

BloorwestSiR Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 A bit more progress. She has legs now!!! The kit has an error in that it shows twin scissor links on the MLG legs but there is only one per leg. I used resin tires from AMS on the build. I'm not sure if Harold had them in his catalogue or if they're cast to order. Next up was the bay doors. I attached the PE hinges but want to strengthen the joint a bit. I added a small strip of styrene to the inner edge. It turns out this is more accurate as the Arado doesn't have hinge arms. So I removed the hinge arms and just need to touch up the paint.

BloorwestSiR Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 It's not a great pic but her she is with all the masks on. For whatever reason, I decided to work from the inside out this time. So first up was the red at the centre. Then it was time for the white followed by the yellow. The blue was last and here she is with all her markings on. The yellow P in a circle came from a Montex set for the Me163. It's a bit small but was the closest I could get.

LSP_Paul Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Carl, You really nailed it. Looking great, you're almost done! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 That's impressive, Carl! It looks really eye-catching in that exotic Luftwaffe camouflage and RAF markings. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thanks Shaka, Paul and Kev! I think I might be able to get her finished this week. The gear bay doors need to be touched up and installed, and then it's the rear view periscope and lights. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Time to call her done! I added the pitot tube and antenna from wire, the periscope to the canopy and have her a light panel wash. I'll try to get better shots shortly. Onto to something else. Once I find room for this somewhere.
