Peterpools Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 Jeroen Looking fantastic. So glad to see your FW190 underway again Keep 'em comin Peter 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 25, 2021 Author Administrators Posted November 25, 2021 Pre shading underway.My Iwata brush is still in repairs so trying to get the best out of my old Tamiya trigger aitbrush 7
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 26, 2021 Author Administrators Posted November 26, 2021 Thnx Harv, underside pre shaded too. 10
Peterpools Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 Jeroen Perfect looking pre-shading work. What broke on your Iwata that it needed to go in for repairs? One of my air brushes, an Iwata Eclipse had a constant sticking trigger and no matter how much I cleaned it, the problem kept on reoccurring after a few times of use. I bit the bullet, bought all the necessary parts and replaced the complete air valve assemble and internal seals/o-rings. So far so good. Keep 'em comin Peter 2

On mine the thread on the nozzle cap (that holds the needle) gave. I couldnt tighten it anymore. A new thread maker had to be ordered from japan. It has been a year now! Shop says the tool arrived last week so repair should not take more than another week. I hope… 1 1

Fingers crossed the repairs come out perfect. 🤞 Keep 'em comin Peter 1

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 30, 2021 Author Administrators Posted November 30, 2021 Checking the various shades on flaps, ailerons, etc 3 1
Peterpools Posted December 1, 2021 Posted December 1, 2021 Jeroen Mission accomplished - the pre shading and various tones look spot on the money. I'm assuming the aileraons, looking just a solid light gray reflect the fact they were fabric covers (?). Keep 'em comin Peter 2

Not liking the monotone look i cleaned them and resprayed them with a lighter basecoat. 3
Bomber_County Posted December 1, 2021 Posted December 1, 2021 Stunning Jeroen, just attempted my first pre shading, I have a lot to learn…. 3

Some love it. Some hate it. I only use it when i think the camo or scheme needs it. Almost ready for upper camo (rlm74 and 75) 4 1

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted December 3, 2021 Author Administrators Posted December 3, 2021 I messed up the Eduard Revi gunsight. Went to the Aviation Megastore today and bought the Metallic Details Revi set. 4 3d printed gunsights with pre cut glass. 5 1
GusMac Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 The pre-cut glass looks like a real bonus. Screwed up a few previous gunsights trying to cut thin acetate to the correct shape. 3
Peterpools Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 Jeroen Right with Harv ... wow! Gus been there and done that more times then I care to remember on various kits over the years. Just having the ability these days to find 3D printed detailed replacement parts is a huge plus. Keep ‘em comin Peter 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted December 16, 2021 Author Administrators Posted December 16, 2021 More work on the engine. Getting all the exhausts to fit is a challenge. 4 3
