Umlaufmotor Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 I milled the engine fairings much thinner and bent the edges a little unevenly with pliers. "Used-look" you know... . 2
Umlaufmotor Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 The paint was applied just like "in real life", - first the raw aluminium, then the primer, then the camouflage paint - and then aged and weathered. 3
Umlaufmotor Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 The glass (windows) was also cut much thinner to make it look more realistic. 3
Umlaufmotor Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 Metal fittings, covers and maintenance flaps were also assembled "just like in real life". First the raw aluminium, then the primer and then the camouflage paint - then again aged, weathered etc. 1
Umlaufmotor Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 Here the step pad made of plywood, painted with camouflage. for the mechanics on the lower left wing. This pad is of course always very heavily stressed by the mechanics' boot soles - this is how it should look on the model. 1

Umlaufmotor Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 Here now pictures of the finished whale fish. All markings were painted, also the mouth. The teeth are the Wingnut Decals. I cut them carefully with a scalpel out from the rest of the mouth decals. The black thin border around the mouth is partly painted with oil paint. 1 1

GazzaS Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 I feel same. The attention to detail is peerless. Honestly, I don;t understand how you can work on some of the things that are so small. Totally impressed! GAz 2
