Grunhertz Posted December 20, 2018 Author Posted December 20, 2018 OK so here we are again all the flying surfaces are on as is another 100g of weight in the nacelles and i still can't get over the size 7
BlrwestSiR Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 She's definitely big for a fighter. Great progress though. Carl 3
DocRob Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Nice progress, can't wait to see how yours turns out in the end. I have the ZM one and after what I experienced with their TA-152, the 219 has to wait a bit more. Cheers Rob 5
Peterpools Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Looking mighty good and BIG sure is the word. Keep ‘em comin Peter 2

Grunhertz Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 Well for a newish tooling this has been a bit of a disappointment. The fit is a bit interesting it was only when I got a coat of Mr surfacer on that the problems became evident. So out with the filler and the wet and dry and the rescribe. 3
Grunhertz Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 I'm not sure it's flaws are the fit so much as the shape but I'm sure it's down to sheer size if the large parts had som stiffening in them it would have fitted better 5
Grunhertz Posted January 18, 2019 Author Posted January 18, 2019 It's waiting for the bit I've been dreading. The squiggle camo on top 3
Grunhertz Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 Well that went better than I expected 9
Bill_S Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 This is looking great! I have the A-0/A-2 version in my stash, and I can't wait to start it. 3
DocRob Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Nice mottling, can't wait to see the Uhu with contrasting markings. Cheers Rob 3
Grunhertz Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 Thanks all Decals are now done not many on a UHU 8
GazzaS Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Great job on the camo! I applaud you for painting the 76 over the 75. Most guys do it the other way around, and it just don't look right. Gaz 4
Peterpools Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 WOW .. fantastic cammo - just love the air brush work! Keep 'em comin Peter 2
Grunhertz Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 Thanks for the comments guys it's great encouragement 2
Martinnfb Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Squiggling squid camouflage looks fantastic , great airbrush control. 1
NigelR32 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 She looks great!! I have a couple of these, I'm one of the guys who cut the engines up to correct the wing/engine interface, then wondered why I bothered.. hence why I have two.... Could you please post a "how to" on achieving that great camo scheme. It looks so.. well...right!! 2

Could you please post a "how to" on achieving that great camo scheme. It looks so.. well...right!! Hmmm a "how to" ill see what I can do it was pretty quick to be honest. I started with a top coat of RLM 75 Then a thin mix of gunze RLM76 (about 60% thinner 40% paint) at around 12 psi with the nozzle close to the surface about 3cm away if you have a dual action airbrush screw the trigger lock up so you just get a 3mm line on a piece of plasticard. I then drew a rounded ziz zag on the surface in small areas I then went in a rounded zigzag in the another direction overlaying the first pattern. It is important to not do your overlays in right angles I will post some pictures of the process at some point when I get some more plasticard 5
