Thomas Lund Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Another one done. Hasegawa's lovely Ju87G Stuka with Aires cockpit and HGW belts. Finished as 60 tank ace Josef Blümel... that is... I did not in ANY way want to do the Nazi Rudel so I went looking for something else. Not a lot of variation and not a lot of documentation. I found a color profile with a winter washed S7+BU but no pictures... so a but unusual for me I decided to go with the color profile alone - looked too cool... Hope you like it Greif8, Basta, thierry laurent and 23 others 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I like the tarnation out of that. What did you use as a Winter Wash and how did you apply it and wear it? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Thomas Lund 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you use as a Winter Wash and how did you apply it and wear it? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Tarnation ? I use vallejo paint for everything. So regular 70/71/65 camo, gloss coat x 2, a little bit of hairspray on the inner wing and engine cowl where I expected the wear to be worst. Then white overall, thin coat, not too even. Then chip the hairbrush area with a damp (not wet) stiff brush - carefully !! Finally i mixed 25% IPA with 75% vallejo thinner and used a rag and the stiff brush to wear the paint down with strokes in the airflow direction. Finally a oil dot wash/streaking Landrotten Highlander, SinuheH and BiggTim 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Love it: it's very well done, and it's a nice change to see a Kannonenvogel that isn't Rudel's. Thomas Lund and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Excellent! The worn white paint effect is totally convincing. Alain Thomas Lund 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two issues with the pilots canopy - It didnt go back far enough, but there seemed to be a hint of a cutout in the top that looked like it was supposed to fit around the mast. From pictures I could see that if the canopy should go back that far, then the cutout needed to be... cut out. I did (actually had to be a little bigger than the hint to fit, but eventually it fit allright. Second issue is that it does not fit that well over the next section, but a drop of superglue at the base of the mast (both places it is 'solid' canopy and a gentle press down, it was made to fit fab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben L. Hernandez Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Very nicely done, really like the winter camo. Question, how did the Aires cockpit fit? I have an Aires set, but I have read that these fight you all the way. Thanks, Reuben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the difference is that they do 1/48 and I do 1/32. I imagine that the guys who do the masters for different kits work in their 'own' scale and as it happens the guys in 1/32 is just better than the guys in 48. My guess :-) What is usually the big thing for me is to make the top edge of the resin sidewalls match nicely to the kit side wall top. This one was less than perfect, but not too bad. Overall I really like the Aires resin cockpits Reuben L. Hernandez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
