Dave J Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I have been wanting to build one of these for a while now so... why not add another project on to the wip list! Cockpit is pretty much done.. Just have to do the rigging and control lines and the fuse can be closed up.. To speed things up I will will be just building straight from the box! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Playing around with an spare cowl to get the turned finish.. I started off spraying Mr Color #8 Silver as the base and then Citadel Chinmail was then brushed on.. Internal side walls are all painted up and weathered... Tamiya RLM Grey was used and then to weather all AK Engine Grime on the Metal area and OIF & OEF Streaking Effects on the Fabric And all button up, time to tackle seams! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted September 12, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2013 ......and he's off! Looking real good. Love the pit and the swirls. (Take note Martin!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Like it ! Cheers, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Been hitting the seams with some Mr Surfacer 500... I had to reapply it a few times but the at least it dries reasonable quick! The rear inserts are tricky to tidy up but a little bit of work they look pretty good! Cockpit area has been masked off with Tamiya tape and the painting has started using Tamiya RLM Grey... First Coat and decals have been applied, I have been using Mr Color GXIII Clear lately and I love the stuff! Dry fast and really hard! Close up of the Compass in the wing, colours picked of with Vallejo Gun Metal and Black I must admit the Endecker kit's are pretty cool and build up pretty fast.. I think I was working on this everyday, it would of been finished by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 So I've been on a bit of a roll the last couple of days... Engine has been built up and painted and weathered.. I used Mr Color 8 Silver with a few drops of black to darken it up. Once dry, it had a black oil wash to make all the details pop. Then AK Interactive Oil Stains was airbrushed over the engine to give it that freshly used look. turned finish applied using the method posted on WNW Website.

Jamme Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hi Dave. Love your oil stains on the bottom of the plane. Great weathering anyway. Congrats, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 28, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 28, 2013 That's lookin sweet Dave! This kit may well be the most fun little project i did over the last couple of years. I really dig the oil stains under the engine.

beaz Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Dave, this is an awesome tribute to the first true fighter pilot and the machine he flew almost exactly 100 years ago. How ever will you find a replacement fuel filler cap, tho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umlaufmotor Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Dave, take the filler cap from a new kit. The rest of the kit (now realy worthless without the filler cap) can you send to me. And - I like your Eindekker, beautiful built. Max wäre stolz auf Dich. Servus Bertl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
