Outsanding work. Really love it.

 

I also really love those Mr Color metal colours. Can you please tell me which ones you used?

 

Cheers,

David.

Thanks for the kind comment, the paints I used for the NMF were 218 (Aluminium) and 213 (Stainless). The majority of the plane is 218 but I used the 213 for adding scratches on the NMF to distinguish the marks.

Fantastic job!  Great presentation photos, too.  Tell me...  how did you make the micro-scratches on the propeller blades that go in the direction of the airflow?

Well the first step is to paint the prop Silver and cover that with a very tough gloss lacquer varnish and then scratches are built up in the subsequent lighter paint layers, I use 240 grit sanding stick lightly on the surface (in the airflow direction) then build the paint up and repeat the scratching with a lower grade sanding stick till you get the effect you're after. Once that's all complete I tend to so a some more weathering using the salt techniques to add a bit more realism and by then the scratches are very fine and not so obvious.

 

Many thanks to everyone for your kind comments, Jug#2 will be done soon so keep your eyes peeled :D

Only two criticizems, nothing build related. It's Rozzie Geth (for Fred's Wife; Rosamond Gethro) and Fred stated that his name is

Fred  Christensen Jr. vs. Fredrick. (Fredrick Christensen was a German WWI Pilot with the same kill score, though).

 

Regards,

Stephen

Weathering one of them personal choices, I like mine to look like they have been on a few missions and that's where I find it hard to stop....but sometimes, less is more. 

 

Thank you all for the kind coments

:o  I can't give it a perfect 10/10, if you look closely there is a grasshopper on the diorama grass.  This species is only found in Albania!

 

Only kidding, what a superb build, diorama, photographs and deserving of the perfect 10.  :bow:
