Nice! How did you do the rivets?

nice work on that cockpit

Thanks! I will definitely have a look

Thanks sir! To be honest, some good credit goes to the kit itself. It's really nicely moulded with good detail for a 144th... it was a good white canvas that inspired me to go further Recommended.

That's a good idea...i think i should scrap the decals that originally came with the kit..it's a nice TWA scheme but i will try some aftermarket product for something "cleaner"

Hi Rich, I used simple artist oil paints (i am a cheap guy ), mainly black with a touch of burnt amber. I locally applied a very thinned mixture, waited about half an hour and then retouched with a fine brush soaked with thinner until i got the shade i wanted. Finally i touched up with a dry q-tip ..this worked quite good on this material. On the engine nacelles i did some dry brushing with unthinned oil black first to simulate smoke. I realize it's a bit overdone, but i had to experiment

Thank you gentlemen! The aluminium tape i used was a bit thick so i was worried that the foiling would look out of scale, especially on such a tiny bird. Therefore i am planning to use the same technique on another 1/144 classic, this time using cheap kitchen foil, which is thinner...aming at a minicraft dc-4..if i can get my hands on one! Indeed comparing the final result to a 1/72 scale is i the best compliment! I will get this back to the work bench ahead and apply decals soon

Hello fellow modelers! Being back to modeling for the first time after 18 years of silence, i wanted to introduce myself and say hi to everyone. I also wanted to share with you my little experiment. For my comeback to modeling i planned to do something out of the box and keep it simple....but alas..i just couldn't keep it from escalating a bit so i started foiling my little roden dc-3 with aluminium tape to see what would happen. Since i wasn't supposed to apply decals i started weathering with oils and i quite like the result... What do you say, should i pro
