Eighth Air Force Pilot Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ok, so I'm working on a pair of Hasegawa 109 emil's, both will be finished out in BoB scheme. One will be Wick's bird, but I haven't decided on the other yet.. Ok, so here is the problem that I'm having. Wick's bird had the mottled green on the side of the fuselage and I'm curious as to how to get look just right. I had planned on using a make up sponge "borrowed" from my wife. You guys have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 This one? Yea, I would go with a sponge or a old brush cut down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetFightingMan Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm gonna be building that same plane in 1/32 with the Cyberhobby kit one of these days. I've seen several builds with techniques ranging from cut up old paint brushes to micro-sponges. I think Eduard makes a masking set for that specific scheme. If not them, there's someone else out there who does, because I know I've seen it and almost bought it on one or two occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 "Fermis", a member on SP&R and perhaps here, did this Wick's on the FSM 109 GB, this gives an explanation of technique too. see the link http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/2/t/143750.aspx?sort=ASC&pi240=42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I reckon that has to be THE HARDEST scheme of any aircraft in WWII to pull off authentically, and that includes Luftwaffe twins in Wellenmunster Such a mish mash and those dapples just too small to airbrush no matter how good you are I'm definitely too scared to try it! Lol Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eighth Air Force Pilot Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yeah there is no way that I'm even remotely thinking about achieving this with an airbrush. I'm going to try Femis' sponge method on an abandoned spitfire first and see how that turns out. Dave J, that is exactly the a/c that I'm doing so you can see what i'm facing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
