Built by my son, now it's my turn for painting. Primer added for checking the surface...

Black wash to darken the panel lines prior to painting. For this, Revell Aqua thinned with alcohol is not a good idea 🙂 The supercharger intake scoop is the only part that required filler.

The kit goes together very well, no trouble.

Panel lines and surface detail are very crisp. Nice little kit for the money.

Pre-shading again with Revell Aqua black thinned with water/alcohol. My airbrush dosen't like this mixture.

RLM76 added to the sides and lower surfaces. Used for highlighting on uppper surfaces.

RLM81/83 added. Paint was a tad thick for mottling, so I got speckles. A wash might fix that.

Mottling done again with the Aztek fine nozzle. Speckles are somewhat exaggerated by the digcam, will disapper after treatment with light blue chalk

Sieht gut aus bis jetzt! Die G-10 steht bei mir auch auf der Warteliste ganz oben.

Nice work, Burkhard JR !

And I'm sure the paint job will become as good as the construction job ! 🙂

Fit is excellent, with a few minor eceptions: Fit of the canopy seems to vary, can be solved with careful dry-fitting and white glue. The supercharger air intake scoop flange is a tad undersize, the sole place were filler is needed. That's why it is such a good kit for starters 🙂
The only real gripe for me is that the propeller is undersized.

The undersized propeller and supercharger intake are known flaws of this kit, Quickboost offers replacement for both parts.

I have a surplus Italeri G-6 as a donator for a prop. 🙂

Uuiuu, that looks nice! Its the Revell one? Have you scraped new panellines on the wings?

Holger Kranich
Vacuformed canopy?

Revell kit out-of-the-box, original canopy. The supercharger intake scoop was drilled hollow but that's all. Panel lines were only restored were my son had sanded them down along the fuselage seams, everything else was left as is. No filler used on the wing roots, fit was perfect there.

It looks very nice, Burkhard! What is that stuff you applyed on the canopy? The wing to fuselage fit is very nice at this kit!

11 November 2012, 07:52

Burkhard D
The stuff applied to the canopy is Humbrol Maskol

Hast Du die Haube komplett damit "beschmiert" oder hast Du die Streben ausgelassen?

11 November 2012, 11:16

Burkhard D
Komplett beschmiert, erstmal nur damit das Cockpit sauber bleibt. Habe die Haube gerade abgenommen und mit Tamiya Tape "richtig" abgeklebt. Bei der Fw190D klebe ich mit 1 mm Streifen ab und fuelle den Rest mit Maskol auf. Ich mache gleich mal ein paar Fotos.

Holger Kranich
Ja, so ähnlich mach ich es auch! Nur mit dem Color Stop von Revell!

Zwei Bilder angehängt. Digitalkameras sind grausam, das sieht man alles so garnicht 😉

Dat kann's wohl seggen! Es ist manchmal ein Graus, was zum Vorschein kommt!
