Cheers, Tom Ha yeah I did just that - the kit and resin upgrades on the way to me now. IBG should give you some $$ as I think you may have helped sell a few kits here Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 Haha that’s great! I’d love to see more builds of this kit, and you’d do a exceptional job. Plus I’d love to see IBG release more kits! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Paint! I prime most of my models these days with Tamiya AS-12 because it has good adhesion, reveals flaws, and I can use it to simulate metal if I selectively sand back the topcoat. I added a preshade of Tamiya Rubber Black along panel lines and by mottling; I also used a lighter color for the mottling. I sprayed the underside of the wings and tailplane with MRP RLM -76, and the rest with MRP RLM-81. In each case I filled in the areas between the panel lines first, then gradually filled in the remaining areas until everything looked right. So far I have built everything without modification, but I did add rivets to the cowling per references. Two weeks after starting and it's almost done!

Uncarina Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) I made a little more progress by painting the cowling with a combination of Vallejo Burnt Iron Metal Color and Rust. I plan to weather it with a combination of stippling and pastels but I think it's a good starting point. In these photos the wing is just placed into position; I won't be attaching it until I've added all markings and weathering. ...and after a wee bit of weathering: I used a sponge to lightly stipple Vallejo Burnt Iron over the cowling, then followed this with an application of Tamiya Rust Weathering Pastel feathered in.

dennismcc Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 There's some fine modelling going on here, this subject is a favourite of mine, hopefully it will spur on other manufactuers to produce more early war subjects.
