Duncan Doenitz Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Looks fantastic, I have 2 kits to complete before I start on this one. I'm considering having a half open build as shown in this link. What paint did you use for the wheel wells ? I presume that IRL, the fuselage insides were bare metal but I'm wondering if some artistic licence e.g. zinc chromate, would be better ? It's a high class problem.

I painted those wells RLM02. For the fuselage interior I imagine this varied from RLM02 to bare metal but will defer to the cognoscenti to share insights.

The tape masks for those little stubs kept falling off, so I’ll get them straightened out after all is said and done with the camouflage.

Duncan Doenitz Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Thanks Tom, RLM colours seem to vary with the day of the week. Which paint and what serial number did you use ? I'm relatively new to this and started off with Tamiya but have found Mr Colour, AK Interactive and SMS Premium to be excellent. SMS RLM76 (PL189) underside light blue looks very pale but works brilliantly on a 1:24 109 G6. I'm very tempted to do the 190 in winter camo. The AK Insignia White is slightly cream tinted which over a base of normal camo, could look interesting. Uncarina and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several versions of RLM02: MRP 050, AK Real Colors RC265, Vallejo (just for brush painting touch-ups, I never airbrush with Vallejo), and a custom mix from Tamiya, which is what I used here.

Duncan Doenitz Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 An update for UK based folk who are after this very rare kit. I guess I am not allowed to name vendors but if you Google a model supplies shop in central Cardiff's Wyndham Arcade, they have a few in stock in their warehouse.

dashotgun Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 thanks for the build post I got inspired and picked one up from sprue bros. I have a set of HGW positive rivets I may try on it. The model does seem a bit complicated with things I will not show. Martinnfb and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found this overall to be a very enjoyable build so far. Just test fit and go slowly with the cowling and you will be fine. I’m looking forward to see your build!

Wolf Buddee Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Just read through your entire thread, Tom. What a great build and it’s obvious that you’re getting the best out of this kit. I finally managed to get one of these kits myself and hope to get in to it at some point in the future. Having your build as a reference will help me to know what to expect with potential fit issues and what to look out for so thank-you! Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing ‘er with some camouflage paintwork on. Cheers, Wolf Martinnfb and Uncarina 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
