An AML Goppingen Go-9

Hi there, I thought I would share my latest with you all.

It’s......AML's 1/72 Goppingen Go-9.

Construction was straight forward. Every part needed trimming and filling, luckily there are not many parts. I modified the undercarriage as that was incorrect. The plane didn’t sit on it’s tricycle undercarriage until the pilot got into the plane.

Finished in overall RLM 05. I couldn’t find a RLM 05 in a shade I liked. To my eye the Vallejo RLM 05 is way to yellow. So I mixed Vallejo Model Color RLM05 with white in a 50/50 ratio, which was sprayed on.

The canopy is vac-formed, AML provide 2. I didn’t need the spare.

Then gloss coated using Revell gloss in preparation for the decals.

The kit decals were used, and behaved well with MicroSol and Set. They were sealed with Revell gloss. Spray it on in several light coats or the Vallejo will desolve.

I decided not to weather it, but I would have preferred a more matt finish. This is too glossy.

Hope you enjoy the photo's.

Any comments, positive or constructive are welcome.
