Update for the 23th on the FW 189
Got a bit more done today, though the 189 has been a bit of a disaster area today, with some of the glazing falling off, the camera coming loose, but things have been patched together again. Finally got the booms sorted out and everything glued together Peter
More done on the 189
More work done on the 189 today. First I finished off the engines Then I managed to lose one of the parts for the landing gear, so queue an hour of slicing plastic card strip to make a replacement. Then made up the Landing gear Finally fitted the port wing / boom together - some Mr Surfacer on some of the joints, but nothing major Peter
More on the FW189
Got some more done on the FW 189 today - first the bad news - some of the masks peeled off (probably due to the cold in the shed) Then out with the Tamiya tape. Finally I started work on the engines - still quite a lot to do. Peter
More Glazing - anyone would think it's a recon bird
More done on the FW 189 today - got all of the glazing done Then on with all the pre-cut masks. Then finally a quick blast of RLM66 over the top to back the frames and seal the masks. Peter
More done on the 189
More work done on the FW 189 today - got the cockpit done Then started gluing all the glazing together - GS Hypo glue to the rescue.
FW 189
FW 189 A-2 - Luftwaffe Recce Aircraft Actually started this a week ago, but only just got around to taking some photos. It looks nice so far, but it still needs some more weathering.
Getting close to finishing
Well i've got the decals on, and started the final weathering and post shading, Should get it finished next weekend.
Paint on the 190
Well the FW190-F8 has paint now, RLM76 undersides, RLM 83 Top coat. Sprayed all the markings so far with masks I made myself with my Craft Robo cutter, which allowed me to chip the markings as well.
Pzr 38(T) Continued
Today's continuation of the Pnzr 38(T) - the fun bits First I used some masks I cut with my Craft Robo to spray the divisional symbols Then I sprayed and weathered the exhaust Finally added the wheels and tracks
More Pzr 38(T)
started with the Panzer Grey. I'm trying the modulation technique for the first time. I've deliberately kept it quite subtle so far Then on with the tracks - Vallejo Track primer, Alclad Steel and Pigments and graphite pencil.
