  1. Welcome and great to hear that, but there is no picture. Arno
  2. Gentleman, Bob is my uncle I tried my best and it was interesting for me to see, what I was able to do with the original parts and the Eduard PE. a few shadows: The first cables and finished
  3. Thanks my friends for the fast answers. Slowly I think also that the Vallejo varnish is not very resistent, my Turpentine removes it and this is a special Turpentine for Oil painting. So I think its saver to stay with my acrylic washing
  4. I have tried now Rectified turpentine, it also removes my Vallejo colors!!! What should I use for oil washing? The product from MIG???? Please Help me!
  5. Great to have artists like you here, so that we can learn from you!! Arno
  6. So, enough crying! I start with the new Main wheel bay, because the Aires is gone, but I have the Eduard PE parts left First try to make new springs
  7. Okay gentlemen, thanks for your nice words!!! I know that this was for sure my fault, I have taken the things from my wife, from time to time she make some oilpaintings and this is the stuff that I used: and so I decided to build the body new, I anyway have made some mistakes. But this time I will ask you first: I wanna try weathering with oil color. So what should I buy?? Thanks Arno
  8. First the varnish goes then the color and now the plastic. What a frustrating end.
  9. Oh no..... game over, something, maybe the terpentine killed the plastic.....
  10. First time I tried Oilcolors.... hope it turned out well
  11. After seeing Ralph's fantastic Spitfire Mk.VIII, I have also to try his highlighted paint. But hey, it isn't easy!!!!!!
  12. I couldn't resist, the price was to good
  13. Hi jandrego, how did you made this fantastic camo? Wich color you start with? Thanks Arno
  14. This is the way it should look! Wounderfull!! Maybe I try this camo also, but it didnt look to easy! Congrats!!
  15. I try to make the putty stripes on the alu, do that look good?
  16. I tried to give the alu a brushed look We will see how it looks with a varnish coat over it
  17. Oh boys!!! Very equal with me, I remember not my age but it was a saturday morning in a shopping center nearby. My daddy bought me a Revell 1/72 P-40 with a shark mouth. At home we just build it together and I was really impressed about the teeth and mouth on that plane, so I loved this tiny plane and carried it always with me until I forget it in the summer time in the car, the sun gave him an interesting design. I think my next one was a Matchbox 1/72 Bf 109 E-4, did you remember the brown fuselage and the yellow wings?! I also remember the old Revell glue with the brush, I think I had more glue on my fingers than on the model ( especially funny, when you try with glue on your finger to put a clear canopy into place. This poor pilot was always blind flying!!) Or when you take to much from that stuff, it makes the plastic nearly liquid. So before mom send you to beed you say: one moment, I just will glue my landing gear on to my new plane!! Ok. a few DROPS and with a cool professional movement, zack and the gear struts are in to place. What a picture on the next morning: the bird lies on his belly and the gear struts are stretched out! Oh and stories with the paint.......... but before I boring you
  18. That will be a great looking bird!!!! And agree absolutely about the Flugzeug Classic, I have also an subscription since Heft 1
  19. Yes, this is just the Bare-Metal Foil
  20. The G-10 came after the G-14 and was the connection model between the G and K models and in the book from Harald Helmuth Vogt "Bf 109 Duty Planes" he wrote: on the beginning they use the G-6 wings, but with time they use more and more the K-4 wings, also when they do a repair or overhaul. So on the G-10 everything is possible, you need to have an original picture from the specific plane you wanna build.
  21. And I learned that overlapping is not an good idea, you will see it. From panel line to panel line works for me the best.
  22. And so comes panel for panel. After that I will look for a way to make them more dull
