@Mike: yea, doing a crash dio is just fun. You have the freedom to do nearly everithing, especially weathering wich I start to love. In this case I have the luck, that I got pictures from all around the plane, or is that bad?!?

 

@Grant: My first water attempt was with the Faller stuff, then I tought I will give Vallejo a try. Main "problem" with both are the shrinking, I had to reapeat the pit 4-5 times. But hey, my experience is so small and for shure I will use the still water on the ground, when I build the base on the Dio and then I can say more.

 

Thanks

Sorry for the confusion, I meant that 66 could be the darker upper color instead of 74, not to mix 66 with the 75. When I read my previous post I realise it could be interpreted like that.

Thanks Anders, after reading your post again, it was clear! So it's for shure my english, sometimes i'm a bit slow and confused   sorry

What a cool project and what great modeling. Following this...

[youngtiger1]

No that's good that you got pictures of this very subject in different view. I'm starting to look for similar photos and hopefully I'll get lucky

Start to throw all the bits and parts into the body

 

 

 

And try how it would look on the frame. What you think: this frame is not to small?

Agreed...  what a great (and unique) build.

A little progress on the Prop

 

 

 

[JonathanReed]

Looking Fantastic.  Many of you may remember the old diorama of the wrecked B-17 that slid off the side of the runway and lost the gear.?  I was little lad and already loved airplanes, but looking at that model and the story, no, stories that it told grabbed me into the great world of modelling!  

 

This one should inspire many more people to come.  So Cool!

[RalphSarc]

I agree with Johnathan! Your craftsmanship is inspiring to say the least Arno as it does inspire me to challenge myself with each build!

You nailed the prop right down to the boot dents!! By the way how did you do the dents??

[Clashcityrocker]

Yeah this is awesome! I'm building a crashed and abandoned 109 myself and would love to know how you got those good dents in the prop.

 

Great work!

[colt6]

Thanks for the nice word's! The dents are just made with a heat gun and a round tool

[colt6]

As I was never really happy with my bended alu on the frame, I made the panel new. It's not perfect, but I think much better. Final result we will see after a little putty and primer.

Starting with the base.

My dirt mixture from coffee, sand and just dirt. Mixed with water and white glue.

  

  

Bought also Brickstones in 1/35, just had to try it 

  

And the first cote of RLM 75

Great work.  How did you replicate the torn up ailerons?

Just drill it with my Dremel

Made a little gras

 

 

 

finally we gets some swiss milk chocolat on the path. Lol

 

 

 

The next step will be, a little coloring of the gras and the mud
