Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 30, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted January 30, 2017 Always nice to see some paint splattered on the plastic. Those flaps look great, these are the metal ones right? Only the top parts. The flap themselves I binned after they became a frustration and testimony of incapability.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 30, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted January 30, 2017 Ok.. So I'm posing the gears up. This kit clearly wasn't designed to do that.... The gear doors have a different shape than the openings. I'll have to fix it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Never owned a ZM kit but given how some seem to rave about them, that seems a bit of an oversight. Doesn't seem to fit with the level of hidden interior detail they give you anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 5, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2017 Aaaalmost ready for paint. I replaced the fuselage hatch with one from the Verlinden(!!) sin190D9 one since I will pose it open. Perfect fit. Who would have thought.. As you can see the hatch detail needs some attention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wumm Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The gear doors have a different shape than the openings.It is strange that ZM missed the forward kink at the top of the Main Gear cover... but the gap on the trailing edge should be there. The Fw190 also has this missing wedge at the top of the "Fürungsshiene mit Abdeckung" triangle to allow clearance when retracting. S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Lovely effect Jeroen, that's some precision airbrush work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 11, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted February 11, 2017 On a roll now. Applying the Mr Hobby paints very very diluted as always. One pass with the airbrush won't show anything. About 6 passes will and 10 might make a colour-true coat. A very forgiving technique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Lovely Jeroen. What do you use to thin the Gunze paints that far? I've always used Mr Levelling Thinner with them but never had the courage to push the dilution that far. Can't argue with those results though.

Jorge Márquez Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Very interesting the table of work I liked a lot, the table where the model is great, apparently the model was not as difficult as it was talked about, again I say very interesting and great work, pending further progress, best regards.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 18, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'm doing the paintwork patch by patch, using the photo references as a guide. The tail and fuselage will be the hardest. Using RLM76, RLM82 and various lighter shades of grey to achieve the patchwork faded look. Also using some hairspray and Alclad to beat things up. Step 2: And some panels: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted February 18, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 18, 2017 Nice to finally see colour on the main model. Surely, SURELY not long to go now? What do you think your rear taste will be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 18, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted February 18, 2017 The kettle calling the pot black... Jim the Kettle? I don't follow.. I scourged some old masks from my spare parts box. Trying to figure out the layers of paint that i need to build up. I'm slightly sanding the black swastika paint down to get a faded look. The swastika you see here is the original one, positioned higher than the US painted later one. Sandwiched between these old and new swastika is the RAF red white and blue square. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levier Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 well, its an expression... when one accuses another of something he is more or less guilty of. Both the pot and the kettle sit on the same fire, and both are blackened. I shouldn't be talking, as I have not completed a model project in ages myself!
