Mikester Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Been many moons since anything rolled off the assembly line of the "Luftwaffe Modeling Center of Mediocrity" but may I humbly present my latest creation. After a long bout of lack of mojo I wanted something that went together with no fuss and muss and the Hasegawa kit fits the bill to a tee, superbly engineered and a joy to put together. This was originally supposed to be a Rumanian aircraft but decal difficulties and even more difficulties steered this one into the winter white-wash zone. My first winter camo scheme and pretty happy with the results.

Daywalker Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Beautiful as always Mike! Tried doing that exact same aircraft a few years back, didn't work out and ended up being repainted as white 12. Always a pleasure seeing your work my friend. Mikester 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikester Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Mike, your recreation of a white winter scheme is stunning! How did you do it? Jens Thanks, Jens! The white wash was applied using Mr. Color White thinned down about 60/40 thinner to paint ratio. This was applied over the standard 74/75/76 finish. I had the needle almost all the way closed and built up the paint very slowly and inconsistently to simulate a worn finish. After the paint was applied I hit some if the areas with a 3600 grit sanding square to simulate wear/scuffing of the paint. J.J. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
