Kendzior Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Wow! This is definitely one of the most beautiful large scale Doras I have ever seen, especially the paint-job is just amazing. And it is superbly photographed too. Hats off. Thanks for sharing some in progress photos, very inspiring. Best Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunda Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Lovely work on one of my favourite aircraft. I had trouble with the Eagle 3 piece cowling too and ended up not fitting it. The radiator surround was perfect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Wow. Some of the most convincing paint chipping work I've seen. What technique did you use? Congratulations on a superb piece of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks again for all of the positive comments! Wow. Some of the most convincing paint chipping work I've seen. What technique did you use? Congratulations on a superb piece of work. Thanks! Main chipping along the wing roots was using the hairspray method. I was aiming to utilize more of the hairspray method along the fuselage sides adjacent to the cockpit but I ended up doing a lot of mottle touch-ups and replacing the RLM81 with a new shade. Too much paint over the hairspray so I couldn't get it to come off. The hairspray chips were augmented with colored pencils. Primarily silver and brown on top and grey and brown on the bottom. I like to mix different colors when I chip with pencils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfulla Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I really like your variations with the browns, grays and greens in the camouflage. All of the mottling is perfect with no grainy airbrush overspray errors, and the contrast is outstanding with the color selection. The raised rivets are great! Also, you did a marvelous job with the tension spring mounted to the tail! Super! I would love to see more of your work in 1/32 Luftwaffe subjects.

alaninaustria Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 What a beautiful build - I like the ingenuity that has gone into this build from construction to finish! I believe you have achieved a very realistic finish! Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale32 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thank you! I've been struggling to find a matte clear that I can depend on. I like the look of the Alclad Klear Kote Flat but I have curing issues with the Alclad clear finishes. It just doesn't seem to dry fully. Right now I am using Alclad Aqua Gloss (which I really like) with Tamiya Flat Base but it has a tendency to turn whitish if you push the flatness too much. You can see this effect start to rear its ugly head on the RLM83 patches on the gun cowl and upper wings. So I have my eyes and ears open for a better alternative.Testors Dullcoat is a great alternative. You could also add their clear to the dullcoat to get differant sheens to add that little extra bit of realism. Although what you've acieved with your build is nothing short of excellent.
