Mihailo1994 Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 Hello all! Few months ago i finally managed to get w.12! I don't have too much of wnw kits, and when i saw oportunity to buy w.12, it was a must for me Starting with cockpit! Wood grain was done with acrilyc pencils + coat of clear orange Waiting for HGW seatbelts, GasPatch turnbuckles and Wotan prop from Proper Plane! Huge thanks to Carl Weaver, Karol Konwerski and Kamil Trembacz for help and input!! 9 2
DocRob Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 That wood interior looks great, and the detail on the IP is exceptional. Will you add levers to the switches on the left side? I used some lead wire on my build, which I flattened with pliers. It's a great kit and I'm sure you will the build. Cheers Rob 4 1
Mihailo1994 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Posted May 29, 2021 Thanks Harv and Rob! I will Rob! I spent half day on instrument panel..i think i've cleaned it 3-4 times, as i didn't like how wood grain turned out lol now happy with result! Here is photo of engine bay, before washes 7
Peterpools Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Terrific start and the wood grain effect is spot on. Keep 'em comin Peter 3 1
BlrwestSiR Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Fantastic looking IP, especially the wood graining. Carl 3
Mihailo1994 Posted June 1, 2021 Author Posted June 1, 2021 Thanks everyone! Today i started with lower wings, spraying CDL for bottom side and applying aviattic faded lozenge on top! 6
Mihailo1994 Posted June 3, 2021 Author Posted June 3, 2021 Yesterday aviattic faded hex was applied, top wing was done in 2 pieces everything else in one piece waiting for gaspatch turnbuckles to arrive so i could close cockpit and start working on fuselage 6
Peterpools Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Awesome work .. decaling is perfect. Keep 'em comin Peter 3

Gotta love those aviattic decals! I'll see what else can i do before i recieve turnbuckles (already 1week at customs...) And also waiting for seatbelts from HGW 2
DocRob Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Your Hansa Brandenburg will look awesome. I went the same way, using the Aviattic Lozenge for mine and they were a joy to work with. It's a great kit, where you can concentrate completely on painting and weathering. I'm eagerly looking forward for your progress. Cheers Rob 3
Mihailo1994 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Posted June 5, 2021 Had to do some operations lol I wanted to wrap thread around wheel but it ended way to much messy..couldn't remove it so i made brass ring, and used copper wire to wrap it around and glue middle section back in! 5
Peterpools Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 Nice work around - problem solved! Keep 'em comin Peter 1
Mihailo1994 Posted June 6, 2021 Author Posted June 6, 2021 Wheel finished tomorrow will tackle PE belts, decided not to get HGW ones, due to long waiting time...i just need belts so i could close up fuselage 4
Mihailo1994 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Posted June 7, 2021 Cockpit almost finished! Decided not to get HGW seatbelts, as they didn't shipped them after 7days after order. I'm a bit impatient hahah so waiting for another 2-3 weeks just for seatbelts was a no no for me 5 2
Kaireckstadt Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Incredible! The close-up fotos look like the real plane! The leather is stunning! 4 1
DocRob Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Breathtaking details, your wood and leatherwork is exceptional. Cheers Rob 4 1
Mihailo1994 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Posted June 7, 2021 Thanks guys! I must say that i started with modeling last year, and although i have started like all my 5-6 wnw kits that i managed to buy from last year to present hahahah i haven't finished any! At some point i just stopped working as i thought something is missing and i'm not able to give them 100% On this build, it will be finished, and as my second model ever! 4
Kaireckstadt Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Great to hear! Can you show us here some pics of your first finished model? 3 1
