Really cool 50 shades of Alclad (Hmm, that'd be a good book title) ..  Superb as always Jeroen!  Nice stand by the way, where's that from??

Hi Grant,

 

I looked for a stand like this at the aviationmegastore.com. 

When i asked they said they didn't sell those. It's actually a stand that belongs to one of those ready made airliner models.

Since I'm born skeptical I browsed the store and found they did sell these separately at 13.50 euro's. Aluminium and wood. Comes with screws.

 

Cheers,

Jeroen

Here's metal tubes installed to replace the kit's barrels

and my first attempt at panel line washes with AMMO's new panel line wash.

Review of this stuff is following soon!

Thnx! Here's the AMMO panel wash at work and one flap i decided to do in camo. Like it was replaced. Just to break it up. With some hairspray chipping.

The pitot tube needed a lot of love so i fashioned a new one from steel rod and copper tube:

Then I drilled out the holes in the gun nozzles (thnx Jim!) and replaced the barrels with copper ones':

You did better on those metal shades than I thought you would. For a quick build, you're doing this one proud.

Great stuff as always! I really like the look of the new AMMO panel wash! Was it easy to use?

 

This is going to epic! Certainly way up there with some of your top builds Jeroen!

Thnx Grant!

The AMMO was is extremely easy to use. Just smear it on. Wait for 2 hours and wipe it off. The effect is very realistic.

Here's two pics of ongoing weathering.

What Alclad shades did you use, and what did you use to create the shading?

 

Much better photos ;)

 

Now get those wings done  :popo:

Wow, that beast is coming on a treat, great choice of scheme.

Friggin' great work! I had anticipated that your carelessness in adapting a stand early in the build would bite you in the back-side but it seems my worries were premature! Looks really awesome!

You and I are going to have to sit down so you can give me lessons on the use of Alclad! This is sensational work Jeroen!

That's looking seriously good, but you forgot the ailerons. I knew you would. I sensed it when I sent you the kit.

No sensed not.  Send or send not.  There is no sensed.
