Uncarina Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Really nice work, and it looks authentic to me! I do love the results from using masks. Cheers, Tom dora9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Thanks Dennis, much appreciated! I think that it's everybody's goal to reproduce an aircraft as real as possible and I think that I am fairly close to it. There's a lot of "first" on that one, hair spray, masks, MV lenses and I think that by leaving your comfort zone, you have to be more focused on what you have to do. So now landing gears, bombs, canopy, antenna wire and she'll be finished! I'll try a B&W picture just for the fun of it!

dora9 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Thanks Tom, I must say it's a bit unnerving at first, using the masks for the first time, but the result speak for itself! I'll try a B&W picture just to see how she will stand! Cheers Edited January 28, 2018 by dora9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhard Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 That is just brilliant. There is no way that I can do that, not having an airbrush. dora9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dora9 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 That is just brilliant. There is no way that I can do that, not having an airbrush. An airbrush is a must, if I may say so, to achive nice and smooth painted surface. You can work with much thinner layers of paint so you're not hiding all the surface details. That's why I went with the masks for the rondels so as not to hide the details and have it conform to all those "letter box" slots! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dora9 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Yeah! They're all in there! Had to file them a bit to have them fit in there and make sure that they where not too wide for the fuse. Added the steel cable, that they used to lift the aircraft with, in the forward cockpit. Stay tuned! Edited January 30, 2018 by dora9 Out2gtcha, CANicoll, TorbenD and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 That sure is nice. Sincerely, Mark dora9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks Mark It's almost done! For the weathering, I'll keep it like that, no wash in panel lines just the removable panels will get the treatment. Maybe a bit more wear on the walkways though.
