ibst Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 This Kit was offered to me by my SO a while back, and its one of the first "new generation" airfix kits. I've been looking for it for quite a long time, and this groupbuild gave me the push to open the box. I will be depicting the Black 10 from the 2/JGr 11 station at Darmstad-Dierburg in 1945. I didn’t find much information about this particular machine, except that it didn’t end well.. So.. here is some work: This is my first contact with the newest Airfix, and man.. I really like them. Some sayt that panel lines are too deep, but I kind of like that. The detail is quite nice, although the cockpit is a bit bland, so I decided to make some seatbelts. Cockpit painted and both halves glues together. Cheers, IBST Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Good start! But why seatbelts, I think you have a pilot for this bird! 😉 HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ibst Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) update.. Fuselage and wings glued together. There is a small gap between the wings and the fuselage and another in the underbelly. I was expecting a perfect fit from this tool, but its still light years from old Airfix 🙂 The nose piece is completely off. I dont really understand how they miss this when designing the pieces. Tamiya grey primer (spray decanted to my old Badger 100G) And the paint job. Pre-shading with black and then Valejo Model Air: Light Blue RLM 76, Grey Violet RLM75 and Dark Grey Blue And a nice coat with Future to get it ready for decals.

martin_sam_2000 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Looks great! I am dreading the painting my Luftwaffe builds..I have never managed to get it to look goo, but yours looks great! I have gotten away from pre-shading, but I think it works for the lower blue of these aircraft..gonna have to get back into it. Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
