elmarriachi Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 It is a pleasure to start my new airplane now.... I built some other stuff (ships, military, ...) in the past days that's why I wasn't here onlie with news for longer time .... but now I received a pre-serial sample of HK-Models brand new DO-335 monster in 1/32 scale. Together with the brand new metal parts and photoeteched parts by profimodeller I will build the airplane with all hinges open...... Daimler-Benz DB 603 - Engines of the DO-335 First of all I glued together all the engine parts before paintig it all in black. Then I painted the details with a paintbrush before adding some oilcolor washings in black, brown and beige. After all drybrushing with Iron. Then adding Mig-pigments in beige on the engine and fixed them. Finally added oil on it with Tamiya smoke and worked with some different colors of Tamiya Weathering sets (Silver, beige, rust, black)..... Cheers Michael 1
elmarriachi Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Next steps - I finished the cockpit with the PE-stuff from Profimodeller... lot of work, lot of small work and lot of details added. The parts are wonderful designed and a 100% upgrade for the kit.... it is full of metal now.... the painting follows much later ... Cheers - Michael 1
elmarriachi Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 ... some painting in the cockpit and some weathering later .....: ... some detail painting at the landing bay after airbrushing in RLM02 ..... ... the painted tanks - for the landing bay and fuel tank (not visable later) .... Now next steps... weathering of the painted parts..... Cheers Michael 1
Administrators Fran Posted December 12, 2014 Administrators Posted December 12, 2014 woww!! great start!!! I`m on first row!!
elmarriachi Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 The new seatbelts from HGW are installed: The interior mostly completed and put together....: The first covers of the hull....: Cheers Micha 3
elmarriachi Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 After having finished the most important parts which have to be done before the painting I have taped the engines, cockpit, wheelhouses..... Then airbrushed the underside in lightblue by lifecolor and taped the underside for the next steps.... The taping of the engine bay and cockpit was fun... but workable.... then airbrushed the upper side in RLM82 (also Lifecolor)... Next steps.... painting of the camo with RLM81 .... and firstly... next taping.... Cheers Michael 2
TeWika Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Michael, She looks great! I've never used Life colour- how are they? Cheers Ted
elmarriachi Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Hi Ted, I "love" the lifecolors .... I only use these at the moment specially airbrushing is superb BRMichael
TeWika Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Michael, They sure looks convincing..from where do you buy them? All the best Ted
elmarriachi Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Hi Ted, get it from "Modellbau König" ... good offer BRMichael 1
Administrators James H Posted December 30, 2014 Administrators Posted December 30, 2014 Lovely work so far Michael. I've just started my second Do 335, and using the Profimodeller sets too. I'm also using the ones for the engine bays.
elmarriachi Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 UPDATE .... The painting is nearly done..... Lot of tape, lot of painting.... RLM81 over RLM82. Next steps... painting of the details, Decals, Weathering. Cheers Micha 2
elmarriachi Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Nxt step ...... Decals.....: Followed by a final layer of clear coat to protect the decals before the weathering... Now I will give it a few days for 100% drying.... Then weathering.... Cheers. Micha 3
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 4, 2015 Administrators Posted January 4, 2015 Lovely! You're on a roll! It's a great kit too.
TeWika Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 micha, You work so fast and with so much presision, well done! All the best Ted
elmarriachi Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Thank you very much :) Now I will give it some days "rest" before I do the weathering So next updates will need a bit of time 1
elmarriachi Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 Hello, New Update: Having completed the painting I started the weathering with adding some brown, black, white and grey dots of oil color on the upper part of the airplane which I blended with some thinner to give the surface a more interesting colors. After that I added a washing with thinned black oil color to highlight the details and all the rivets on the surface. With a sponge and silver color I added some bare metal on the wings under the cockpit. The landing gear from Scale aircraft conversion was painted in grey-green and given a dark brown washing. The silver parts were silver painted and chrome polished…. Hope you like it so far! Very kind regards, Michael 1
