dennismcc Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I find the French WW2 camouflage and colours really attractive and that looks great. Cheers Dennis Borsos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borsos Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Thank you very mich for your interest and your friendly comments. Meanwhile I gave the kit a shot if VMS gloss clear coat and finally made a choice for the markings. I can’t see anything wrong with the kit decals, but I wanted a battle of France Dewoitine and no Vichy yellow and red. So I got a set of Berna decals. Although I could also have done the national markings by airbrush using Montex masks I went with the decals. I was lazy. And as laziness always is a great idea, I was rewarded with very thick decals that hardly reacted to setting solutions like Micro Set and Sol. After using a hair dryer I was finally satisfied and I repainted shadows with highly diluted Mr Hobby smoke. Another gloss coat, threatening the panel lines with oils and a coat of VMS matt brought me to this: Rough handling and bad karma (laziness?) caused me damaging the small PE radiator under the nose. When I looked for a solution to repair the damage I realized that I had done the complete lower nose section wrong. Better now, but still wrong Best regards, Andreas MikeMaben, HB252, LSP_Kevin and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borsos Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 Thank you all very much for your kind words! Today I found an envelope from France in my letter box: these parts look wonderful and I hope I can do them justice. Many thanks again to Waroff! This is an amazing gesture! Now I ned to find some balsa wood to sand the core for a new spinner. And I need to dust off my old vacuform box… But before I was occupied with some carpenter’s work. It’s my standard size for WW2 single engined fighter plane bases. Some intense sanding comes next (I think it is a good idea to do this far away from the model).

KiwiZac Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I've really enjoyed following along with this, Andreas. It's great to see what can be achieved with this kit.

Borsos Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 Hi all, I tried to rush this for finishing it before a very special date. At first I ruined the sliding part of the canopy when removing the masking. I had to strip it and paint it again. Then I ruined the painted rudder and had to strip it too. Well, since last Sunday I am father again and all my kids — the new one as the older ones — and my wife just need me more at the moment than I need my workbench. This project is on halt until I can get back to it without feeling the need to rush again.

Boch Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hello, Great aircraft, I regret very much that the French planes from the 1940 campaign are almost a white spot in 1/32 scale. Maybe thanks to the activity of people like you, some manufacturer will see the possibilities for a good quality model in this subject.
