Thunnus Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Looking great with the camo and markings! Do you know if the white on the real aircraft was sprayed or brushed? If the latter, then I think your approach is the appropriate one. Probably one of the more difficult things to achieve... to replicate hastily applied brush-painted markings on a scale model. I would definitely go over the white areas with Micromesh to remove any brush strokes and to impart some wear to the white. Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely brush painted by hand John, here are a couple of shots out of Henschel Hs 129 in Romanian service volume by Horia Stoica, Dan Antoniu and Vasile Radu. As you can see, roughly applied with a large brush! Regards. Andy Victor K2, Rocat, Kagemusha and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 I've now got the basic winter camouflage on. Time for some fun with the weathering process now! Regards Andy chukw, Rocat, Rockie Yarwood and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Looks super, Andy! I'll bet that was a fun change from the usual tedious masking and spraying Peter monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Yep, just slap it on and hope for the best Peter Looking foward to seeing what I can do with it on the weathering front now. Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 After the best part of the year this build has been laughing at me from the shelf of doom so I decided its hugh time I finished as there is very little left to do so I've spent the week weatering it to tone down the paint scheme with various washes, chipping etc A lot happier with the look of it now as I didn't much like the scheme once I'd applied it and thats why it sat on the SOD for so long with it almost reaching the bin! Some feedback would be very much appreciated on where I am with it now Regards.

Out2gtcha Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I like it! Definitely looks better to my eye with not so bright a white on the winter scheme. Looking good! monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Glad to hear that it's off the SoD! The weathering looks great, and the overall loss of starkness looks the part to me. The Romanian aircraft got very grubby, very fast, especially in the winter and spring. Peter monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 It was hard on the eye initially, but was always going to look better once weathered, can't believe you were considering binning it. You were very brave doing that scheme, I'd keep at the weathering and maybe give in a light spray in maybe grey, or even a brown to replicate the dust, just to tone it down overall, and bring it all together as The Dude might say. I think it looks great. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrotten Highlander Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 difficult sceme to ull off, but ou did it. Looks hand-applied and beaten by (ab)use. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florin13 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I am always happy when I see someone making a plane in Romanian colors, but especially when I see such a well done work. Not too obvious, not too little! Keep going! Florin Kagemusha and monthebiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Andy, the winter scheme is always tricky to look in scale, but you’ve pulled it off! Cheers, Tom monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
