Wild Bill Horton Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I was told to re-post this to this part of the forum; sorry for any duplication. This is the new Trumpy tool, out of the box except for Eduard belts. This was a wonderful kit, more like a Tamiya kits and less like any other Trumpy planes I built; I hope to build more like this; fit and surface engraving is wonderful. The gelb is MM; the other paints are Tamiya rattle can (not decanted) AS5/23/24. The Trumpy decals were very good, by the way; not sure who is making them but they were high class. I highly recommend this kit to any builder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Turbine Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Very nice. I just started one of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The panel line wash underneith shows up nice in the photos. Did you do a topside wash also? Hard to see it in the photos. The decals do look flawless/painted on! You mentioned you used Tamiya rattle can (not decanted) AS5/23/24. I will not claim to be a RLM Color expert, but these color of RLM 70/71 always amaze me at the differences between paint manufacturer's interpetations! Of course most photos I've seen of Stuka's are all in B&W or so faded from years of color shift- it is confusing. I've heard this is one of Trumpeter's better kits in recent years. I might just have to pick one up if I can find it at a good price! I have the Hasegawa D kit too which I really need to build. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan03 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Great work Bill! The canopy is flawless! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill Horton Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Toad: There is a topside panel wash; apparent on the light green, not so much the dark (and its a black wash). Jordan, yes, thanks to Eduard Express Masks, don't go to the spray bench without them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
