BevanBrooks Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Great little kit this one! I did the scheme on the box, definately was a challenge with all those squiggles. Bevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 17, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2015 I have built this exact kit. Nice fit and detail is ok-ish. But if you place it alongside the very accurate HPH version.... It is way undersized. About 2 cm shorter.

JG26 Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Greetings, Suicide Doodlebug update - construction done, in primer. 100% OOTB on this one, I did think about adding some extra detail here & there, but will save that effort for if I decide to do another V1 down the track....The trolley had some tubing hollowed out, but that's about it. I even found a camo scheme I like...although on an unmanned "blunt nose" V1 - Interesting caption with the photo - "Corporal W. Grundy of Semaphore, South Australia standing beside a captured Fieseler Fi 103, FZG 76 at Laverton, RAAF base, Victoria, Australia" I wonder where it is today....my guess, reincarnated as a Hyundai or similiar..... Next up, paint on! Regards, Dan M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieser Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Smooth! Very smooth! Bring on the blues, greens, browns and violets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James H Posted November 21, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 21, 2015 Looks fantastic! Do you have any pictures of this actually being built? Not seen anything apart from primed photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG26 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Another small update gents, Belly/sides finished in a mix of RLM 76 (XF23 Blue + White + XF-19 Sky Grey) after having a quick chat with R.Riese this morning, clearcoated in Tamiya X22, allowed to dry off then hit with a couple of coats of hairspray. Plan being, to have the green sides & top chipped/scratched/scuffed having the RLM 76 peeking through (as per pics I'm working off) via the "hairspray technique". Also added some wear & tear to the belly with Buff & gunze Chocolate - the idea being this beast has been lying around for quite some time... After doing a spot of reseach it appears the V1's were mainly made of rolled steel sheet. Time for armour-style weathering! Some of the panel lines appear sanded flat - rest assured, they're still there, they should pop straight back out when the washes are laid on. Jim - Ummmm........I must confess, I don't think I did any "in progress pics".....whoops.....only a dozen or so parts in this girl, I forgot that bit! Next up - camo on.....itching to lay some weathering on! Regards, Dan M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG26 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Another Doodlebuggin' update..... Main colours on - the greens appear far brighter than in the flesh. Gunze colours used for the RLM 81 BraunViolett wings, 82 HellGrun fuslelage & 83 DunkelGrun nose/warhead. Pulse jet tubing end overlaid with several layers of Tamiya flesh, tan, grey etc to simulate "test firings".....perhaps just a tad of artistic licence again.... Next up - the best bit. Chipping, washes, filth etc etc....... Regards, Dan M 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
