  1. Hi everyone! It's been awhile since my last post.

    I wanted to share what I have been up to recently; building the Tamiya 1/48 He219 Uhu.

    The night camo doesn't interest me much; so I decided to do a He219 with a green camo similar to what Mr Ian Robertson has done on MIM Magazine but since this is a whatif project, will add some of my own interpretation.

    This is my first attempt at 'mottle' camo, so please be gentle...

    The Tamiya decals are surprisingly good, or I am just plain lucky.. no issues here.

  2. Just completed this little birdie recently and just wanted to share it here.

    Some details:

    - It's a 1/48 Tamiya kit OOB build.

    - Only Mr Hobby lacquer paints is used.. I didn't follow the exact color code; I mixed the paints myself so it might not be accurate.

    - The camo is applied with airbrush using freehand because I am too lazy to make masks.

    - Pin wash done using Tamiya enamel (German Grey)

    - The soot and oil stains done using Tamiya Weathering Set D and oils (raw amber).

    - This is my first "shark mouth".

  3. This is the Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G Starfighter "MarineFlieger" kit with Eduard Zoom PE for the cockpit.

    I completed this bird recently for a local forum group build and wanted to share the pictures here too. For more information on my build journey, you can visit my posts in another forum here.

    The aircraft is painted using Gunze lacquers; pinwash done with Tamiya German Grey and the oil stains on the wings and other places done with Tamiya Weathering Master (Set D I think).

    Pictures are taken with my iPhone.

    Comments are welcome.

    I had problems with some of the decals (can't seem to be able to get rid of the tiny bubbles!) and even managed to tear one decal out after 2 successive coats of clear.

    I know I need to sand the tires a little bit to simulate "weight" of the aircraft, but choose not to do this before my local meet.. don't jinx me! :whistle:

    Thanks for reading.

  4. Hi and good day everyone, my name is Peter and I am from Singapore. I have been a lurker in this forum although I visit almost daily.

    I just want to share my works for 2010, clicking on the pictures would lead you to more pictures and WIP thread in another forum (which I am more active) if you are interested.

    Kind regards and happy holidays :thumbsup:
