1/32nd Heinkel 219 // Werner Streib crash At Venlo

[Rowdy]

Dear all,

 

New member here, 

Working on the Zoukei Mura Heinkel 219.

I just wanted to make something different then just a model of this huge aircraft (even in scale).

That why I started to chop and demolish this kit

So far I finished the cockpit section,

more updates to follow!

Very nice introduction to the forum, your wrecked canopy section looks very convincing. Is it a fictional project or are you working with photos?
BTW, Welcome to LSM, the place to be for relaxed plastic nuts

Cheers Rob

[Rowdy]

Thanks Rob!

 

Yes’ I’m working from 4 pictures of the real crash site!

 

Many thanks for the kind words!

 

Attached a picture of the nose section.. the rest will follow

Under mottling, I would have called it . It will look good with a translucent paint job on top.

Cheers Rob

RLM 76 is on! 
 

One more layer?

[GusMac]

Looking great Rowdy. I'd be tempted to stop there as weathering and insignia, etc will probably knock back the contrast to give a realistic end result.

I often tend to go 'one too many' in these situations, so I've been trying to stop myself. 

[Rowdy]

Gusmac,

 

Thanks!

 

You mean to leave it this way to prevent to lose the details?
 

I like this result the most, what you say... one layer more or I will lose the contrast!

 The front part doesn't look that mottled,one more layer to match the front part ?

Other than that ..........this build looks 

 

[Clunkmeister]

Good to see you here, Rowdy!  

What an entrance!  An amazing depiction so far  I’m looking forward to seeing you’re finish in this. That nose section floored me, but the work on the tail section is awesome!

Hi Piet!

 

You are very right about the match regarding the front section.

I need to have a look in daylight again, but this one will be wheatered as well, so keep you posted

 

Thanks!
