    The wings on the W.29 have been fighting me all the way. HGW lozenge decals were a disaster.   New Aviattic lozenge decals are on order - maybe I can get the underside painted before they arrive next week!

    Bill,

        I honestly hate covering that much plane in decals.  No matter how good the decals are.  I've been seriously considering making masks.  But I'm sure that will lead to another kind of hell.

     

    Good luck!

    I like the look a lot. The dust coat ties everything together. If you'd like to add something, I would apply some dust deposits on horizontal areas, which are cornered by other elements, like on the fenders or the engine deck. There is also the possibility to add some dust in another colour, maybe a bit more reddish, which would enrich the colour palette.

    You have to love these III's and IV's in late(r) war outfit, with all the added armor, being it Schürzen, extra sheets for the turret, track links or even wood or concrete. How to make something obviously outdated at least partly capable. The weird look of all these additions makes these types interesting to the eye.

    Cheers Rob

    Thank you, Rob,

          The tonal variations in the dust coat show more in-person than they do in photo, but I do understand that I need to do a bit more.  There are some dust deposits on the horizontal surfaces, but here I was afraid of blotting out too much detail.

     

    Finding dusty armor images isn't easy.  From soldiers memoirs, minutes after the rains stopped, the rollbahn gave up great clouds of dust.  This is an Ost Front image.

    But finding closeups of dusty tanks...  is even harder.  Maybe I don't know where to look.

    Gaz, are these any help.......all images are for research only .....

     

     

    Phil,

         Thank you very much!  I appreciate them, though they are from too far away for detail.  One thing they do show, is that there were variations, most likely done at frontline workshops and not a factory produced item.

    Thank you!

  5. HI Fellas!

       Hate to do it yet again, but I'm looking for an image or even better a good diagram.

    During the BoB and later, Dornier Do17's carried extra MG 15's on the sides of the greenhouse.  I have two images in books, but they aren't in any diagram or useful form for modelling.

    This guy is aiming one of them:

    Thank you for your thoughts!

  6. It's been a while since my last update.  One of the main reasons was because I stripped and repainted the schurzen.  A lot of unwelcome textures and dust motes had gotten under my clear coat.  I also got the wheels and tracks on.

    125532032_1060456074421133_3105184383778

    Today I got the turret schürzen and hatches on as well as all of the tools and spare tracks.

    125259342_1060456091087798_1056332082226

    I also did some rusting on the muffler.

    Tomorrow I hope to get a heavy dusting on wheels, lower schürzen, and horizontal surfaces.  

    apparently when Russian roads weren't muddy, they were covered in a choking dust.

     

    Thanks for looking!

  7. So....   we babysat our granddaughter this weekend.  She was producing as much snot as any kid can with coughing and sneezing.  It's been this way ever since she started going to daycare. 

     

    Anyway...I started feeling the symptoms yesterday afternoon, and by bedtime I felt like total shit.  Coughing...mucus...  so in the morning I called work and said I wasn't coming.

     

    AS tomorrow is a scheduled day off, I must have a doctor's note if I am sick on the day before or the day after a rostered day off.  So...went and saw the doc this morning just wanting the obligatory note.  Next thing I know the doc is handing me a slip for a covid test.

     

    So...  now I'm off for three days and waiting for the result.  I wish I felt better,  I could get some modelling done.

  8. HI Rob,

       Thanks for the comments.  Burnishing fluid is a pain to get here in Australia.  Anything very toxic is.  But I'm not always bound to use primer.  Especially on a part that won't get touched much...  as opposed to a metal barrel on a tank which is a useful handhold while weathering the turret.  I'll most likely paint the gun barrels dark gray...   then give them a black was to fill in the recesses...and then a metallic drybrush with enamels.   Shit...  reminds me...  I still need some MG 17 barrels.

  9. Not a lot done, but a bit of a learning experience.  PE and Brass Barrels...  by Master Barrels.

    Explanation to follow:

     

    hCvnTk.jpg

    This is the kit gun.  Pretty good in my estimation...  I don;t think anyone else has molded on the ring sight.  To me, it's a critical detail, however.

    RUOdaF.jpg

    If I hadn't already bought brass barrels, I would have tried to drill and then thin the ring site.  It was almost a shame to chop off the barrel.  But I had to, cuz there was no way I was painting the model with that delicate assembly protruding.

     

    xK9XCS.jpg

    The greenhouse is cemented in place along with the back half of the MG 15.  The barrel is dry fitted.  It took me more than an hour and a half to assemble that 7-piece assembly with my most powerful glasses on.

     

    QamsAz.jpg

    Even my wife's Canon camera has difficulty focusing on the bleeding thing.  The only bad thing is that for two barrels, you get four barrel bands.  And I lost one of the barrel bands (they're about 3mm long by 1mm wide)...  making one of the guns ruined/spare parts.  I bought ten because I have a few German twins in 1/48 scale to build. 

    I had a look today.... I have:

    Do 17Z (ICM)

    Do 215 night fighter (ICM)

    Ju-88c6 (Dragon)

    Me-110 D1 (Dragon)

     

    Thanks for looking!
