Neo Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Paint is on! i used my kids plastic scissors to make the leading edge wave. now they where not sharp enough to cut the tape, so after multiple attempt i managed to cut thicker paper. from there i rolled out some tape an placed the paper over it and cut it with my #11 from there i know i had 2 identical pieces of tape so i applied it. i then applied RLM75 (Model master RLM75) and RLM74 (humbrol 32) So i did my best to mothel the sides. i had blaack based the side with RLM76 and the motled the side with RLM75 then ioo painted the main camo using black bassing tech. Next up will be the masking the markings Thanks for looking Anthony in NZ, Fanes, LSP_Kevin and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 And DISASTER! sop i was finishing up the markins using maketar mask and well when i pulled the mask off the paint came with it This is the first time this has EVER happened to me. The only thing new in my process is that the base primer was Alaclad Black microfille that i was using for the first time. and since the paint stripped clean to the plastic im blaming the primer Man this is frustrating. some parts are easier to repair but the 2 tail swastika are gona be a PITA More soon on the attempt repairs cheers sturmovik, LSP_K2, daHeld and 3 others 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Ouch! I am surprised the primer pulled off. Lacquer should bite the plastic very well. I do usually handle masks a bit to reduce the stick, but wouldn't have thought it necessary for lacquer paint. Your 109 is looking good, though!

ringleheim Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Sorry to see that mishap with the paint pulling off with the tape. Your curvy line on the wing leading edge looks fantastic, and all the template paint work also looks very good. It's hard to say what caused that paint to pull off! Sometimes stuff like that happens and there's nothing we can do about it except suck it up and deal with it. Your work is so nice I'm sure you will patch up those blemishes in no time and you'll back on your way. Keep the updates coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Well she is all fixed! fixed the side fixed the tail repainted the black on the cowling And the finale fixed the RLM74 and removed masking with water to make sure it dosent pull more paint Nose cone Now on my last painting session my compressor started to leak air, i thought is was a hose fitting that got loose but to my surprise my air tank pierced! so i quickly dropped the pressure out of it for safety. So for the moment i removed the compressor from the thank and connected the regulator directly to it. im going to give it a try like this but im probably going to buy a replacement im thinking of this guy Paasche D3000R with tank https://www.amazon.com/Paasche-D3000R-Compressor-Regulator-Moisture/dp/B001CJPWYM/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=airbrush+compressor&qid=1575230707&sr=8-6 Thanks for all your support !

Neo Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Started weathering this week. Im trying to fix all the issues i had on my BF110 weathering. Step 1 : applied a coat of Tamiya XF-22 as a sealer - previously using alclad gloss Step 2 : apply tamiya pannel line accent brown. Step 3 : Whipe away using mineral spirits - previously usgin Enael thinner here is the undererwing result here is the before annd after, only the right wing is done. top is done compared to before Here is the top view This time it went really well. I did have 2 spots on the fuselage near the '7' that i had some paint damage but i will mask it with more weathering Ive completed the entire aircraft, ill get more pics soon. Now the bad news. i forgot to apply the stencils before weathering, ive now done so but they stick out like a sore thumb over the weathering , i will try and add some touch ups to blend them in. i must say this has been an eventful build so far Thanks for looking Cheers Anthony in NZ, BiggTim, daHeld and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
