    Peter, Rocky Balboa just won the fight against the peeled off paint: nothing visible anymore… and corrected an overspray here: The exhaust nozzle is really a contrast to the sand color: Now on to the grey panels on the fin…

    Thanks for this big compliment Anthony! Much appreciated!

    Thank you Peter, you are right. But this was my fault when cleaning the surface for the primer. Nothing Italeri can be blamed for … But I will win the fight (at least that’s my goal)…

    The black-yellow triangles are finished. First I sprayed the surfaces which would become yellow with a white basecoat: The the yellow was airbrushed in several layers with 12.000 grid polishing in between the coats: Finally I removed the masks. In 2 places surgery is necessary because the paint peeled off. But nothing critical to correct: After the surgery I have to paint some grey panels on the fin and then the camouflage is finished.

    Thanks for this great link Rob!👍 Nothing more needed!

    Thanks for your tipps Rob! I think I will copy this! Looking really very good! And lots of light which is essential for modeling and airbrushing.

    For my Lancaster I needed 20ml RAF Night, the same amount of Dark Brown and 10ml of Dark Green. For the Sunderland I think you even need much more because it’s much bigger…

    Your rocket-tubes and the attachment parts look great Gary. I don’t think that the angles of the brass-rods will be visible anyway when finished. Models with these weapons are seldom seen! That’s why I like it so much! When I build mine I will drill holes in the wings and the tubes. Hope this makes alignment easier. But that’s not possible with the metal tubes. That’s lots of fiddly work and the anchors look awesome! Curious how they look like painted and attached.

    Thank you for the feedback! Peter and Gary, I have a (self constructed) spray booth but no extraction unit. Therefore I use a professional mask when airbrushing: But a real spray booth is on my wishlist for Christmas…

    Read this only today Peter! Interesting to hear about the fit problems of the canopies with both kits. I also have the ZM F-4D in my stash. Hope your compressor is back to full service soon. I have a reliable Revell Delta since more that 10 years. I also have 2 H&S airbrushes like you. They are really nice. Curious to see your 2 birds in the paintshop!

    Here’s the next painting update. Masked the plane (I have no extraction unit for airbrushing) completely: and sprayed the black part of the triangles: I also airbrushed the subsonic tanks with Alclad II polished aluminum and white aluminum: So only small progress today. Tomorrow I will airbrush the yellow part of the triangles.

    Thank you all for your feedback. The painting part of a build is the thing I like the most. This evening I will start with the black.

    Stunning progress!

    One has to develop a new word for describing the quality of your work! I‘m speechless as Peter! Waiting for the next update and I hope it comes soon…

    Great work (and surgery) on the decals. Great to hear that the kit is so well detailed! Your work simply looks stunning! Love it! Can‘t wait to see your next update !

    Hi Gary, I have found some additional fotos of the installation of the Werfer Granate 21 under the wing of a 109: When I compare it to your fotos it comes quite close. HTH Kai

    Looks like the real thing Mark! 440 rivets? I would have gone mad!

    Masking of the triangles done as promised yesterday. This is how it should look like: And the masking: 2 Fotos to show each side completely: Tomorrow I will mask the surrounding areas and start with the black color.

    Great build (as usual) and nice little diorama with the pilot figure (even if the head is a little too big). Love it!
  21. Kaireckstadt
    Looking really good Gary! It‘s really a shame that you have to use shims to make it fit! Looking forward to see all this sanded and reworked!
  22. Kaireckstadt
    Thank you Gary! I do my very best. This weekend I will start with the triangles.
  23. Kaireckstadt
    Rich you are crazy! Amazing work as usual!
  24. Kaireckstadt
    Thanks for your feedback Rob! I‘m happy now that I can move to the triangles and other small jobs.

    The bangseats with the harness attached really are bringing life to the front fuselage! They look excellent! You have really gone far with your build so close to the paintshop! Looks absolutely flawless! Thanks also for the comparison of the ZM- and Tamiya exhaust nozzles! The only complaint I have on the Tamiya kit is that you have to install the elevators during the assembly and not at the end. More difficult to handle regarding masking, painting and weathering. But it assures the correct angle for the elevators.
