The Tamiya AS-12 paint has a way of glamorizing whatever you paint. Glad you like the dropped flaps; I was pretty happy with how they came out.

scvrobeson Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Awesome progress on an iconic plane. Definitely smaller than most would expect for a twin engine plane, but it more than made up for it with firepower. Looking forward to what's next.

Uncarina Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Thanks Matt! A lot of punch indeed in that airframe. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Nice progress, Tom! Be wary of the Z-M masking material. I've had issue with the vinyl masks lifting on curved pieces. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Thanks John! In addition to those masks, I have the 1ManArmy set and another printed off a Studio3 file, so I should be covered! And I agree: I’ve had issues with the ZM masks in the past, especially on compound curves.

Dpgsbody55 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Looking very good. Paint next, which is always exciting. One thing to watch - when I did mine, I found that during spraying, the blue mask started to peel off the windscreen. Thankfully, this happened as the paint was drying, so on overspray on the windscreen and a new mask using Tamiya masking tape fixed the problem.

tucohoward Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Looking really good, Tom. Definitely like the dropped flaps. Funny, I really liked the Z-M masks for the 109, granted no real curves on that canopy. Jay Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I’ll go ahead and swap out those outer masks for the Oramask 510 set I printed. 48 minutes ago, tucohoward said: Looking really good, Tom. Definitely like the dropped flaps.

This aircraft only has a slight curve on the windscreen and the rest of the canopy has flat panels, but from Michael’s feedback I’m not going to leave it to chance.

Archimedes Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Is it just me but every time I see any Hs.129 I think it looks like a very serious metal duck. Maybe it’s the yellow nose on some of them, I don’t know … Christoffer Lindelav, D.B. Andrus and Uncarina 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
