Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 22, 2020 Author Administrators Posted July 22, 2020 Disaster... again problems with my primer. This was the last time. Mig one shot. Well, i wont give it another shot!! Simply Touching this primer will cause it to give. I will never use it again. Besides: i should have known better since i had the same problems with the Buchon and this primer. 4 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 22, 2020 Author Administrators Posted July 22, 2020 Managed to fix it. Kind of.. The balkenkreuzen with Miracle paint masks went fine. 8
GazzaS Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 I know you're building a model and it looks fantastic! But do you know if the vanes on the wings actually did anything? I had a short dance with acrylic primer. the worst paint lift in my life! 5
BlrwestSiR Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Really nice work Jeroen and a good recovery from the paint lifting too. I think the worst paint for lifting was Model Master acrylic. It constantly came off in chunks. Gave up on it pretty quick. 5

Expand I read that the vanes had to do with the underwing rockets. I’ll look it up again. i only read good reviews about the primer i used, but it’s shit. Probably quite literally too... i found a way to take the masks off safe. Keep them under warm water. 3 1

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 26, 2020 Author Administrators Posted July 26, 2020 Small steps. Pretty happy with numeral and swastika maskings. After some thought i will use a decal for the nose emblem. Pulling off paint again helped me with this decision. 7
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 26, 2020 Author Administrators Posted July 26, 2020 Doing some research in what stencils were on this plane. So far i can only discern the yellow fuel type triangle, handhold stencils, fuselage footstep stencils and NO nicht anfassen markings on the rudder taps. The props are interesting. The rear should be anti glare black. The front aluminium. In some photos the rear shows yellow tips. In some they do not. The instructions tell you that the black dot on the spinner was painted on to create the idea of a cannon. If you look closely you see the tip of the spinner is a little black disc with a screw in the center. Indeed painted black. 4 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 27, 2020 Author Administrators Posted July 27, 2020 Small progress with panel line washes 8
DocRob Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 The pre shading makes the otherwise dull grey coating look interesting, great job with the painting. Cheers Rob 3 1
BlrwestSiR Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Looks really good, especially on the base. Carl 2 1

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 1, 2020 Author Administrators Posted August 1, 2020 The model recieved a Gunze matt coat and is now ready for pencil weathering. I love these AK pencils... Just started. This should keep me busy for a few days 4 1
