1/32 Westland Whirlwind

[JeroenPeters]

Figuring out the composition

 

[JeroenPeters]

Slowly but surely 

 

[JeroenPeters]

Underside ready. Time for some camo.

The grey will be Ocean grey with a little bit black mixed in.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Started with the upper surfaces with a bit darkened Ocean grey.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Bring on the dark green

 

[JeroenPeters]

Getting her colours

 

[Martinnfb]

Smooth as always.  

[JeroenPeters]

Cees Broere just pointed out an error in the camo which i should fix. Hopefully it won’t show afterwards 

[JeroenPeters]

Fixed it

 

[BlrwestSiR]

Like Martin said, very smooth paint. 

[JeroenPeters]

Camo is down. Found out i need to get soms fresh Gunze Sky H74 for the codes and fuse band. 
Hopefully i’ll get around to getting some tomorrow

 

[belugawhaleman]

Looks amazing!

[JeroenPeters]

Really happy i can have the masks lasercut for the ‘Bellows Uruguay’ beneath the canopy,

 

[JeroenPeters]

The Gunze Sky arrived today, so couldn’t resist painting the fuselage band.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Sprayed the upper roundels.

 

[JeroenPeters]

The MH Models masks for the fuselage roundels, underside wing roundels and tail flash are designed for the earlier versions. Not the P7111 I am making. This means a different Thickness of the various elements.
I will cut my masks myself on the Cricut Maker 3.

 

 

 

[JeroenPeters]

Started drawing my own masks to cut them on my Cricut Maker 3.

I'm cutting Tamiya masking paper. The blade cuts right through these, but with some masking tape I can keep it all together.

 

[KevinM]

Lots of high tech in my world going into this build me I.......just build like Joe.

[JeroenPeters]

Getting the masks in place. I love kabuki paper masks better than vinyl to start with.

 

[Martinnfb]

I’m big fan of the Kabuki paper as a better option to vinyl, but to figure out the cutting depth and power adjustment could be a painful process. Looking good Jeroen. 

[JeroenPeters]

Getting there.

 

[BlrwestSiR]

Printing the masks on a grid must make it much easier to align things.

It does. Although I have found that Kabuki COULD stretch when lifted and repositioned many times …

[JeroenPeters]

Fuse roundels done!

 

[JeroenPeters]

More done.
