Lucas Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'll have to post the picture I've got Lucas, there's a 262 MUCH closer! If you can please. Thanks ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimEarls Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I could never work in 1/144 scale. But you have a real jewel, Lucas. Nice to see some diorama skills at work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 How well did all your parts line up when you put it together? I worked on the same model, and I literally spent days bending and rebending and reglueing the wings and tail trying to get everything square, and those gull wings certainly don't help. I grew frustrated and it's been in that unfinished state for well over a year now, but you, with your nifty build and great idea and execution for the diorama, make me want to revisit it.

Thanks :) To align the wings and elevators, you need a lot patiance, I have to saw just a bit the right wing, and remove the pins of the tail, it´s fragile, even after glued, be carefull... So let´s go to work ! Not too much people works on this scale here, and will be nice see another buildings :D best regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lucas Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Thank you so much guys ! Now let´s to an update. I finish the landing gear. On the rear wheel I did a hand work, it ´s to little to mask and paint with airbrush: On the other gears I mask na paint with airbrush The model almost done: Here a fit to inspire the work :huh: I paint a little strip of a decal sheet to make some strips to canopy... By now is only this... Thanks to see :D :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Thank you Guys ! I remove the landing gear to paint again, I use some maskol to preserve the paint on the midde of the legs. To remove the paint I use OMO Laundry Soap to remove the paint. On Corel Draw, I did the decal´s, print on HP Laser Color Printer, but the covering of the tonner is too poor, so it is transparent, I have to paint by hand the litte G on the gear cover, it is too small, only 1,5mm heigth, so is it was so difficult to paint.. This was the font that I use: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Landing gear prepared to paint: I painted a decal strip with RLM02 and cut small strips to make the canopy frames. The model almost done: By now is only this, thanks to see :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lucas Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 So, the hardest thing to do, the patterns on fuselage, I tryied to use a Nankim Pen, but does not work, the paint is not enough, I made an adaptation with a draw compass, I don´t know the name of this in English..

ChernayaAkula Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 That's a challenging scheme in any scale, but to attempt it in 1/144 and having it turn out that nice is just amazing! :wub: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 The trick with the pen was ingenious, and the results are amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Lucas, This picture comes from "Gotterdammerung - Luftwaffe Wrecks and Relics" from Brett Green, page 69. The text is left in, it's the last paragraph that pertains to this build of yours. I'm pretty darn sure it's the same one. All that aside, AMAZING work Lucas! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
