chrish Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Moving along again. The rear turret glued on and seams fixed, top deck cover glued on. Vallejo acrylic putty in the seams, a bit of sanding and re-painting ahead of me it seems, in those seams.

While paintings (never trust an artists rendition) show little... or even no mottling on the aircraft sides. There's also paintings of the aircraft with II Gruppe straight line instead of a III Gruppe wavy line, but I have 1or 2 pics. here of the aircraft with the wavy line so, that's what I'll use. I ran out of a key Tamiya color to home mix the RLM 75 so used some recent acquisition paints that were as yet untried, Mission Models, they seem to work ok. My query: does the mottling look to heavy? paint came up with the tape off the resin exhaust pipes, my fault. not the paint. I forgot to clean and prime the resin Thanks for looking That looks just excellent to my eye, Chris. I only wish that I could paint that well. And the figures do indeed look better than what I'd previously thought. I may need to try a couple now. GROWLER 96 and chrish 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thanks all! I doubt I'd have had the stamina to keep going without the encouragement from friends here, very appreciated! I've got the seams dealt with on the fuselage and begun the agreeable task of adding the final details, glazings and decals to the fuselage...wait for it, there's light at the end of this tunnel...clearly visible now! The dark and light variations should blend in with a buff down with a terry cloth (the rest of the fuselage has had done) and the final clear coats.

Bstarr3 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Pilot figures really look great in there. This is going to look amazing when finished. Almost there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Thanks a lot! weathering with oils has begun, I wanted the blown engine to be an oily mess so mixtures of browns and black were smeared rearward from where the engine will eventually be. I've also finally painted and installed the super chargers and main gear. More painting and blending will be done later with the airbrush and acrylics.

Chris - are you going to soften the edges of your oil streak? The inboard looks a little sharp - at least to my eye Keep up the good work!
