Jeroenveen1 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 I just put her on her landing gear, that I tried to weather in harmony with the undersides of the wings. Mud splashes and dirt on the wheels and tyres, oil staying on the axel protection cover as well as some dirt, cross wires with tensioners… I'm fairly happy with how it looks. Now I will further weather the fuselage and lower wings, paint details there and start building the engine. This is where she stand now, all comments welcome as usual. Happy modeling, Jeroen
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted May 20, 2013 Administrators Posted May 20, 2013 Wow Jeroen... amazing progress and weathering. Again... One question: how do you mask the undersides to obtain the green edge along the wing's edges?
Jeroenveen1 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 Wow Jeroen... amazing progress and weathering. Again... One question: how do you mask the undersides to obtain the green edge along the wing's edges? Carefully :P … no, all kidding aside, it is just a matter of masking as carefully as you can. I made some paper templates of the curved part and cut the mask accordingly. Then it all boils down to precise placement of the tape which isn't difficult but just takes some patience….
rieser Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Hey Jeroen - "that resonates with me". A Tooheys to you! "Cheers!" Ralph. 1
Jeroenveen1 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 Time for a little update. I weathered the fuselage and wings, and differentiated with gloss, semi gloss an matt varnishes to get some variety in the color depth and feel for the different materials. Now it's time to rig that tail, add scopes, mg's, engine and the radiator. Then slowly but surely things will go to the upper wing and rigging. Finally, finally it seems this is going somewhere…. hope you enjoy the pics, all comments welcome as usual! Cheers, Jeroen 2
coolboxx Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Just stunning really like the effects with different finishes and your shading 2
Jeroenveen1 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 The tail and upper deck are done. Focus now shifts to engine, inner struts, exhausts, radiator and prop….
Wingco57 Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Interesting rudder Jeroen. The edges remained PC10? Cees
Jeroenveen1 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 I managed to get quite some work done today. The engine, upper deck, inner wingstruts, radiator and exhausts have all been done. I'm still working on the prop and the outer struts, which will be in a black white striped pattern. The topwing is almost done as well so it won't be long before that is mounted and the rigging begins...

Jeroenveen1 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 Today I installed the upper wing. All rigging points have been prepared so I'm going to add wire over the coming days. After that I need to install the flaps and top machinegun. Then some minor adjustments.... and she's done. A week, a week and a half, and she should be finished!
Jeroenveen1 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 I'm not sure Dave... It might be the italeri wessex, a pilot figure to go along with this one... A new WnW challenge.... I haven't made up my mind. Suggestions are welcome!
Jeroenveen1 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 The home stretch… all the rigging is done. Flaps, top machine gun and some minor adjustments and she's done. I'm happy with the way she turned out, because somehow this build became more complicated than I had envisaged. Hope you enjoy the pics, all comments welcome as usual. Happy modeling, Jeroen 1
