JamesHatch Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I managed to get some work done these last weeks, and built this for Japan's World Scale Modeller magazine, as well as a yet-to-be-determined regular title. Not too many photos, but the usual reasons, clauses and NDAs!

ModelCellar Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Really nice. I like everything about it. The green/purple camo looks great. The yellow and green striped tail is cool too. And the wood fuselage is AMAZING. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Very well executed and gorgeous build James. How did you replicate the wood grain on the fuselage if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you replicate the wood grain on the fuselage if I may ask? Thanks guys. I should've said...the fuselage is finished with Proper Plane's excellent plywood decals. It also has Proper Plane's wooden Axial prop, resin wheels and metal exhaust. There are also HGW's wood nail decals on the fuse. I opted to paint the stripes on the tail instead of using the kit decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used UvdR wood grain decals on the DV I recently built, and they look the part - but I may have to invest in some Proper Plane decals in the future as they look quite nice.

ringleheim Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The wood grain on the closeup shots looks really good. Very natural effect with that fan brush. I have tried them but couldn't get them to work like that b/c the bristles are not firm enough. You have mastered the technique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
