Aaronw Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Being 1/72 there is not a lot to do inside, so this is where I'm at so far. The fuselage is only about 3" long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Man Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Looking very nice, Sir! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well I just applied the lozenge decals for the underside of the wings. It is odd as they are simply white decals with black lines in the lozenge pattern so I have to paint the color on myself. It seems like a colored decal would have made a lot more sense. I'll post a pic once I have a good start adding color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Ok, here is the underside of the top wing painted, and the lower wing showing the "paint by numbers" decal. It seems to be working but it is a slow process painting all those little spots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Looking good, Aaron. Hand painting that lozenge takes me back to my youth when I went through a WW1 spurt and cranked out a 1/72 kit every week over the summer. Being old and lazy now, I think I'd go with a decal for that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Well its been awhile but I finally got the time to get some work done. I finished painting the lozenge camo, I'll definately go with a pre-colored decal next time. It's starting to look like a plane at least. I've got something set funky on the camera so the pic is a little off, hopefully I'll get it straightened out for the next pics.

Aaronw Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks, it was interesting painting the camo by hand, but I'll definately be looking into pre-colored decals for the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well I think this is my first successfully completed GB here at ARC, I finished this up the other night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuartM Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sweet! I'm very impressed by the lozenge; must have been a bear to paint, but the results look great! Stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
