Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 20, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted January 20, 2016 Isn't it called a sprayingmat? Cees Well anyhoooo .. i went from spraying the mat to smudging, chipping and oiling the rigs! Much more layers, pigments, etc.. to be added to the wood.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 24, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2016 Managed to get some done. Almost finished the jigs. Just need to add some oil stains and more scratches to the edges and sorts. Sprayed my first ever Mr. Paint RLM 71 on the engine gondola. Wow..... A dream to work with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 27, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thnx! Still soooo much work to do!! At least I have the proper tools And here's a photo I received per email by fellow member HJKR. Very happy with this one. It shows a row of power eggs to the right in the metal maintenance jig AND it shows a row of power eggs to the left in the wooden jigs (like I'm making). On the back you see the factory stenciling with the Opel brand and serial number. Now to figure out a way to replicate this. How cool??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 31, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2016 Cheers! Here's me masking the canopy inside and outside. The Montex masks are.... well... crappy. Most of them undersized, so need to add masking tape to a lot of locations. I hate this part... But who doesn't??

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 10, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted February 10, 2016 Small progress! I bought the CMK resin MG-15's. Then discovered these had the wrong sights. So I also bought the Master barrels. I used the resin CMK bodies. Revell ball mount and mantel and Master barrels. Now dipping in blackening agent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackyracer Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Them Master barrels are superb but boy are those tiny sight mounts a fiddle to fold and fix. Still have nightmares about them on the 88C! This is my fav build on here at the moment. Keep going Sir, gonna be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've assembled two sets for other build in the past and when ordering them on Ebay i thought.... Here we go again! It's great they give you extra PE mount for when you screw up. Which I did once this set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ophthoidoug Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Really enjoying this. You'll motivate me to pick up on my big mistel again. Can I ask what matt-coat you used on the engine nacelle's? I'm still looking for a perfect flat coat that isn't "eggshell" &/or doesn't leave a fine powdery dusting ... thanks for sharing Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
