CruZz Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Hello there! After komet I strated hasegawa Shiden. It ´s really amazing kit. Everything fits very good. Thanks for watching. Jan 7
rieser Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Hello Jan: interesting start. Do you add the rivet detail before or after the model is assembled and primed? Cheers, Ralph.
CruZz Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 Thank you guys! Ralph: I add rivets when was fuselage completed and primed. (after renew all panel lines and when was surface OK). The same with wings...
Members Mikester Posted December 30, 2014 Members Posted December 30, 2014 Wow, awesome start there, Jan! Always a treat to see your work!
TeWika Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Jan, Another treat from you- excellent and super crispy! I must get this kit it looks prima.. where did you get it? Cheers Ted
rkranias Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 a great start on engine and pit! rivet detail beyond my skill-set, bravo.
CruZz Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Thank you very much Guys! I want to test some new things on this kit... NMF in progress... 2
TeWika Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Nice panel breakup.. what colours are you using?
CruZz Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Gunze Supermetalic SM01 and black :-) 2
rieser Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks for the reply about the rivet application Jan - much appreciated. I can manage to apply rivets to the unassembled parts, but I'm scratching my head about how to do it so neatly on an assembled model. Cheers, Ralph.
CruZz Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Ralph, it depends... If you add some resin and plastic must goes to thin of paper, is better add rivets before assembling. But in case like this, isn´t problem add rivets when is wing complete, fuselage complete... And the most important is, find the best way for you... (because when I´m riveting before assembling, must repair many rivets after assembly, because of sanding) :-)
polsen Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Hi Honza, I always love what you do ! I' m following with intrest, Cheers, Peter 1
CruZz Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Peter, thank you! :-) working on gear, because I am waiting for a masks...
TeWika Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Honza, The gear looks great- I love it! All the best Ted
polsen Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah alright ! I'm looking forward to the green. Are those masks over the upper surface roundels or is it tonal variation in the red ?
CruZz Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 :-) Maks... Insignia were only preshaded for now...
rieser Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Jan: I'm looking at one of the NMF schemes for the Ki-44. Hasegawa suggests matt silver for the control surfaces. I can't quite make out what you have painted your control surfaces. Is it one of the grey-greens, or a matt NMF? I'm with Peter - Green is for "GO!" Cheers, Ralph.
CruZz Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Ralph, Hasegawa suggest 80% silver+20% green (or something like that) on Shiden... That was basic color of control surfaces from factory I think. My opinion is, that when were planes delivered to airfields, there was no need continues to paint them, because the silver/green was anticorrosion color. About color of control surfaces many people discuss many hours... and I´m not a specialist for japan planes. I do not have extra photo of bottom surfaces :-( 1
TeWika Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Jan, love the prop! Well, when things are up for discusions it leaves us with more artistic licences.. You'll do an excellent job regarless.. Oh.. my son asked me to ask you what modell and spec that Moutainbike is? All the best Ted
Spitfire Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 This is really beautiful workmanship. Cheers Dennis
rieser Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks Jan - appreciate your feedback. Like you, I'm not a specialist - just trying to have some fun. Looking forward to seeing your green go on. Cheers, Ralph.
