Thanks Brian, I'm really enjoying this build and our weather at the moment isn't good enough for being outside, so plenty of bench time available! Yes I did get the resin canopy, frame moulding is a bit "soft" if I'm honest but it's better than vac I think. Masking inside and out is my next job.

mozart Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Masked up* and primer on, followed by a quick rub down with a fine sanding stick. All's looking good except: *guess which dipstick forgot to mask the windows in the nacelles!! Fortunately using my method of Krystal Clear I think I'll be able to re-do them after painting's finished. Honestly, if I had a brain I'd be dangerous.

mozart Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Planning to get the base coat RLM 76 Lichtblau down tomorrow and may start a bit of mottling. In anticipation of painting I've spent a couple of hours designing and cutting the stencils: Sadly no clear photograph exists of Schnaufer's famous G9+EF so its exact colour scheme is speculative, I'm going along these lines: Edited December 1, 2018 by mozart MikeC, Gazzas, Shawn M and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorbenD Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Just caught up with this build from start to finish Max... I’m not sure how or why I’ve missed most of this build. Great work so far, loving some of the detail work and she’s going to be an absolute belter Torben mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Cheers Torben, it's easy to miss things on LSP, so many wonderful items to read and admire. I'm looking forward to the painting stage but I have to remind myself that the build is still far from finished, so many bits have to be added yet. Onwards, onwards.......!!

Dany Boy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Magnificent modeling tread mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Thanks Dany, a tribute to a magnificent machine I hope. Talking of which, I'm working on Henri Daehne's truly magnificent propellers; the mouldings are absolutely clean and pin sharp, the detail remarkable even down to the reduction gears: I'm not a "spinning prop" fan so the starboard one will be firmly glued in place. Part of the port one will probably be laying around somewhere whilst the engine change is in progress!

Padraic Conway Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Lovely work there Max on the nose cannons. I'm sure the radar array will also work out just fine. Not far to go now! Padraic mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
