BloorwestSiR Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Very nice work there Micha! I also like how you seem to have more than one project on the go too. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hello, the finished cockpit is installed in the two halfes of the hull... the hull glued together and the seam sanded smooth. The tail wheel area is also painted in interior green, the wheel itself follws later after the painting of the hull. The elevator unit is installed in lowered position and glued in place too. Next follow the two engines ... Cheers Micha 109, Jeff, BloorwestSiR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarriachi Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hello, the engines are finished and the etched parts added. The etched wirings received some white glue on it to get some thickness. The finished engines were airbrush painted in black, then received some washings in dark red and beige. Then some silver pigments were added on the complete engines ... some leaking oil follows later. The parts for the engine mounts were painted separately, then the engine mounts were put together and weathered with oil colors, then the engines installed (glued at the front, screwed at the back). Some further parts, wiring and small stuff will follow ... The wings were put together, etched parts for the engine cooler added and painted in green, white and dark grey/silver mix. After that all weathered also with some oil washings. Cheers Micha mark31, Jeff and MikeMaben 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Micha, Those Merlins really came out quite nicely, and fit those engine mounts perfectly. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarriachi Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hello, The finished Rolls-Royce Merlin engines were installed into the engine mounts which were completely painted and weathered before. Some further pipes and details were added next. The wings were finished and some instruments for the cockpit added and detailed with Eduard's etched parts. The wings were screwed and glued to the hull next. It is a perfect fittment! After the installation of the wings the engine mounts were glued to the wings and further pipes between wing and engine added. Next will be the gun mounts on the lower side of the fuselage ...

Jeff Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Micha, what did you use for the burnt exhaust pipes ??, they look excellent....I have this beauty on my bench along with the Spitfire XVI, and I REALLY like what you did with those pipes......

elmarriachi Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hi Jeff, thank you very much! I have painted the pipes in Silver first (Revell Aqua Color). Then I have used the Lifecolor base color of the Rust & Dust set and a sponge to dip the color on the parts. Once dry I have done the same once again with the darker shade of rust colors. With a stiff brush I have used black color and dipped this on the front (inside) of the exhaust and rubbed it in the rest of the exhaust ...

Joel_W Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Mitcha, the engines looks fantastic in their mounts that have been installed in the wing. Your copper piping really looks like copper piping, well done. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hello, the main guns under the fuselage are finished, painted, weathered and installed in the weapons bay. The first washing is added as well (that's why it is looking glossy, wet). Next following the two bombs over the tank ...
