levier Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Peter, Spinner looks darker than the blades to me, seems like its anyone's guess. Could go with black green blades and black spinner. airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi! I would go for 70 all over. These are glossy parts in direct sunshine so contrasts are high. Something I noticed looking at the photo: In the annular radiator area, there are two quite large bulged housings, center top and bottom. This is different from the D-9 looking part you made.

I have an old PB account that still has alot of my pictures on it but I don't use it anymore. I haven't paid them a cent in years so I guess it's just been grandfathered. Maybe that's why I can see your pix ? airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Thanks Alain - yes, I saw the radiator is different and have started making up those shapes, once the PE arrives I can sort it out So while I wait for the PE, a few little things done.. ..the big under fuselage airscoop needed a resin nose so I could hollow it out so this was thrown in a mould.. ..then cast and starting to drill out the waste.. ..and it's good enough to skin when the time comes.. ..also the cowl was reshaped as the front opening was a bit too wide.. also added fake cowl flaps so I can get the positioning of the radiator and the rounding of the fuselage under them.. and here my nice 3D fuselage front has been reworked, the centre spigot made bigger and the exhaust port openings made up.. ..the 3D radiator was split in two and a spacer added to get the right width.. ..that was then skinned in brass until the PE turns up.. ..so now the spacing internally in the cowl is correct.. ..the spinner was next, a backplate detail was made with rivet detail.. ..this was then painted RLM 66 (hope thats right..) ..then rivets added and an alclad basecoat.. and I decided for now to shoot the spinner black and wire wool it to see some of the rivet detail.. ..for the blades, I scaled a good profile picture and looked at whether I could repurpose either the Hobbyboss or the 21st Century Toys blade to suit.. ..decided on the Fw190D blade and stuck the profile to the blade and dremelled away the difference.. ..and after finishing a master, I cast 3 more.. ..and the prop is nearly finished - I still need to add all the PE parts at the base of each blade (pitch controls?) they are notched discs present on most blades.. ..just waiting for the PE now before I can really get started..

No wonder your models cost so much to build. You go "all in" on every model, which is very fun to witness. That lower intake says "P-51" all over it. I'm guessing the Germans copied it?
