1/32 Revell Heinkel 219 wip


Recommended Posts

Thanks heaps guy's.

 

Dave, the clear I use is an acrylic automotive one (Spies Hecker). Since I'm in the trade I can come across this fairly easily and at no cost and it goes a long way. You need to thin it with gp thinner so you need to be careful not to apply it tooo heavily.

 

 

Kahunaminor, your welcome. I did it in 4 sittings adding up to about 10 or so hours give or take.

Hi guys, it's been a while but I have done a fair bit on the 219, certainly the biggest kit I have ever built hence the drawn out build!! I was pretty happy with the way the camo came out but there's nothing like some decals and some weathering to make it all come to life!!

Oils were used (black and burnt umber) to achieve a dirty look to the 76.  A stippling/ dabbing motion with a rolled up piece of rag and a piece of sponge was used to reach the desired effect. Also a brush was used to create the streaking along the fuselage sides while the oils were still wet enough to move around.

With the top camo I tried a white oil wash which seemed to "fade" the paint somewhat which is kind of the effect I'm going for. ( End of war sitting around derilect  sort of thing) may still need some more work. Thanks for looking cheers Bevan

Thanks guys,

 

The exhaust stains were created using a mix of Gunze flat clear (3ml) with 6 drops of Gunze H12 flat black and 2 drops of Tamiya XF10 flat brown

Obviously concentrating around the exit of the flame dampener and fading off to the rear of the engine nacelle. I sprayed vertically at first to try and give the illusion of a slightly rippled panel, where the high spots would catch more staining. the panel lines caught some extra as well. Then sprayed lightly following the length of the nacelle. This will all be finished off with varying shades of pastel dust after flat coating the model.

The exhausts were first of all sprayed with a mix of Tamiya X10 Gunmetal (1.5ml) XF 85 Rubber Black 12 drops XF2 Flat White 4 drops, you can see this colour on the ends of the sprue "sticks"  The pastels came next. Using a stubby brush the pastels were rubbed into the paint until the desired effect was achieved.

The wheels. Tyers were painted with a 1-1 mix of Xf85 Rubber Black and  H416 RLM66. Wheel hubs were painted H12 flat black. Mr surfacer was liberally brushed on around the join seam then, on the end of a paint brush handle "rolled " on a piece of scotch bright to create some wear. the Mr surfacer was blended into the side wall with an 800 grit sanding pad. Its safe to say that these still need work.

Thanks for looking in cheers Bevan

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, much appreciated.

 

After some advice from one of my favourite modellers I went back to the wheels. On his suggestion I used the sponge method to add some "spatter" effects. I've never had much success with the sponge in the past and tend not to use this method but thought what the heck I'll give it another shot.

The results certainly add a lot more interest and help tie the wheels together as one but to my eye looks a little "un-natural".  Being the application not the method! I'll definitely be experimenting with this method on my wheels in the future as I think with more practice I'll get a more natural looking tyre.

I used thinned Xf 57 buff and Xf 68 nato brown with the sponge. I also used Derwent coloured pencils Gunmetal 19-69, Bronze 19-52 and Sepia 19-53. Prismacolour water colour pencils Goldenrod wc21034 and Black wc2935. 

I've also started work on the prop blades. They were painted with Gunze H65 RLM 70 Black Green then randomly "whatever'ed" with a 1:1 mix of H65 and H421 RLM 81 Brown Violet. Scratches and stuff were added with Derwent's, Olive Green 19-51 and Cedar Green 19-50. A watery mix of Xf 85 Rubber Black was added using a sponge. A "B" grey lead pencil was used for the chipping along the leading edges. Needless to say more work is needed cheers Bevan.

"more work is needed"

 

huh? what? why?

 

props look great imho, just about right, they "came to life", not over the top. In other words...I think they look fabulous :)

 

note: I'm just browsing for nice prop examples and when mine turn out half as nice...I'll be more then happy :ph34r:

Hi guy's this is the cockpit of the 219 from Revell. Paints used are Gunze acrylics with a little Tamiya as well. Details were picked out with Humbrol enamels. I replaced the molded levers with brass wire and white glue for knobs. I also added some fictitious wiring for added interest and used HGW's 219 belt set. I found them fairly fiddly but well worth the effort. Chips/scratches were done with Derwent coloured pencils as well as 2b grey lead. Washes with oils, dry brushing with oils as well. Testors Dull Coat for final finish.

 

Hope you enjoy the pics cheers Bevan
