HPH Ta-154 A-0, TQ-XE - FINISHED!!!

[mozart]

I use MRP too Jan, I've just base coated my Bf110 with it, beautiful stuff.  Yours is looking very good, the subtleties of slight colour hues was lost on me with my work.

Nice progress Jan,  really like this kit from HpH a d goes together fairly easily.

camo finally done

my first attempt to make RLM75 mottling based on HPH  pattern

 

I was not satisfied, so I gave it another try

this time I was trying to follow the pattern which was used on TE-FK airframe

 

this is the outcome

 

 

RLM 75 toned down with overall coat of thinned RLM 76

 

and subtle shading added with MRP smoke

 

 

Now it's ready for gloss coat and wet transfers

thanks for looking

Looking good already! I always wonder; how do you get such nice minibuilds before throwing it all together? I'd reckon you do a lot of test fitting before committing to paint...

that's my way of working  its easier to me te paint it correctly

and test fitting is the key, especially with the resn kits

Great work and paint job. This will be a stunner.

That's a good looking finish you're getting Jan, I haven't used MRP Smoke but I guess it's a thinnish grey-brown?

thanks Max!

it's clear smoke, when spraying with low preasure its fine for shading, but turns more dark grey than brown

for places around exhausts and undersides I'm usually using MRP Exhaust Soot which turns more brown

Hmm, haven't got either of those in my range of MRP paints, must order some!  Thanks Jan.

WOW  that is sharp 

[Alain Gadbois]

Very nice paint job! I think your second try is just perfect to replicate the style of the original aircraft.
