Hoss FL Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Nice restart Duke! I love your wood effect as well as the riveting. I recently did a K-4 and used the rivet wheel approach. How did you like the HGW set? I have the HGW set for a D-9 in my stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splendid job so far. The wood effect is quite realistic. Everything looks AWESOME. thank you foe your comments guys! the HGW rivet set is very nice and really straight forward in application . The effect is the opposite of course of the riveting tool .These are positive raised rivets. ..do not apply them below the primer because the will not be visible - just before the final coat and then very gently sand the area you want to make them visible again. I have used them on my 109 G6/Late build ,so ,there you can check the final effect. The wood effect was made with a wood grain stencil and then i have used some oils (burnt umber and ochre)...

duke_ Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Hello, i finally started the painting and i have decided to go with the W.Nr332660 version yellow 1 from JG 53.. i have always been attracted to the planes of this unit ..(maybe is the black RV fuselage band..) Most of the references i found shown the underside in bare metal , so i used some alclad shades for the task.. Aluminium , duraluminium , steel and dark aluminium.. The RLM 76 is AK real color and for the late war version i used MRP i also have a question about the wheel well area.. Were they painted or just bare metal also? i tried to create an interesting visual effect by spraying three different shades on each panel.. i think it looks good , and adds some visual interest.. (it reminds me the salt weathering effect but without the use of salt!!) i'll try that on my P-47D ! Thank you! Edited May 27, 2022 by duke_ D.B.

Scale32 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Love the nmf Duke. I don't think the wheel wells were painted if the wings weren't. Cheers Bevan duke_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
