FrereLeO Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Hello Gentlemen, a new build with something very different. The model is from WCM and, for the moment, it’s a real pleasure to build. It will be OOB, just for the fun. It starts with the engine. No extra details added. The original parts are sufficient. The Olive Drab is Agama Polish Khaki. It’s the first time I use this paint and I’m not disappointed. Edited August 18, 2008 by FrereLeO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 It continues with the inside. The cockpit: The gunner: The radio operator / observer: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 On the side-panels, some details were added, essentially plumbing and wires. They were painted in Intermediate Blue : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 All parts together : a tremendous crowd :D Bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pommie Commie Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Marvellous work. There's an article by Mike Grant in MAI, which has loads of tips on building this beastie Paul in NZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FrereLeO Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hello and thanks for yours comments. The dio will represent a scene of maintenance, so I've cut a part of the wheel cover. It will be the only modification on the model : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Even with the fuselage assembled, the work is visible : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I added the boot on the tail prop. It was made with Milliput : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 The console is one-piece to fold. Original but not easy to do. The sight was added and the second access to the cockpit was opened : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 The central part of the wing fits without difficulty : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 The Pitot was remade with steel tube. I replaced the photoetched aileron "trim" with a piece of plastic card, easier to glue: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 The step area which disappeared during the sanding was remade with aluminum foil. WCM provides the handles in Photoetche (too flat) or plastic (too big). I've prefered remake them with copper wire: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 And to finish, the radiator is remade in sheet of aluminum using the original resin part as a template: Next step, paint. Bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Harrison Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Can you please do a step by step of how you achieve your final painting finishes. I can't for the life of me figure it out. How long does it take to complete lets say the wheel pants? Absolutely great. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FrereLeO Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hello and thanks for your comments. Can you please do a step by step of how you achieve your final painting finishes. How long does it take to complete lets say the wheel pants? Yes, of course. As you'll see, below, it's not a very long or very difficult process. first part of painting with the exhausts: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 On the model, I spray P.A. Steel on the area which will be scratched. Then, I put a drop of Maskol to protect: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 I spray a blue, lighter than the Polish Blue, and I put again some drops of Maskol. Then, I finish with the definite color : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 The decals are very thin and when they are in place, it’s impossible to adjust them : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 To finish, the washes. Payne's Grey for the engraved lines, Sepia for the shadows et Raw Umber for the flaps and horizontal stabiliser : Bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
