Ralph Riese Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Revell 's Arado Ar196 in progress. Apologies to those who might have already seen the pics on Hyperscale. Some fantasy rivets and fuselage skinning... Tried sanding out the fabric in the fuselage hatches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Riese Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Airframe progress - apologies if the pcis are washed out and over-exposed. Should have used a softer background colour. Cheers, and thanks for looking. Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Buddee Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 You know Ralph, you're really taking this hobby and making it something of an art form. Without a doubt your work is certainly inspirational. I can't wait to see the magic your preform with your paint work on this one! What I find difficult though is overcoming the urge to go out and buy the kit you're working on because of how fantastic it looks when you build and paint it. It's your skill in weathering and your eye for detail in your paint work that I'd like to attain. Always a pleasure Ralph! Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Looking good (as usual), and I'm quite sure will be a splendid example of modeling art when finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Riese Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Some underside colour using light blues and blue-greys left over from past projects. Some 0.7mm "Micron Masking Tape" laid over the first motting session. Some more mottling over the tape. The gawdy result. All the best to all for a very festive Silly Season. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaxos345 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Amazing airbrushing skills my friend, awesome result. Merry Christmas and Happy new year Ralph. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Riese Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 cheers John - and the same to you! Underside markings sprayed using masks made by Mal Mayfield at Miracle Paint Masks. A 1:2 mix of Tamiya XF-2 Flat White and XF-19 Sky Grey, followed by straight XF-2. Lots of tape to avoid bleed, and some to eventually represent underlying framing. XF-69 NATO Black; Gunze Sangyo H77 Tyre Black; and some dark grey mottling. Hope you all had a beaut Xmas. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph.
