bughunterLove it! It's a biplane, you know😉 and you take sooo much care in this project, which result in a great model 👍

TreehuggerAlso, warning: Afaik, I have finally arrived at my conclusion that, if you add too much Humbrol clear, the gloss coat will start to crack. I think it should be safer with a single (!) thin layer (airbrushed once not twice). Or possibly several thin layers that have long drying times.
I have also noticed, that if I have already a smooth surface after airbrushing on Vallejo primer (sifting the primer paint with a tea thingy to avoid clogging), the gloss coat lays on very nicely even if very thin, but ofc one doesn't get the piano laquer look that way. Unsure if this thin layer is enough for adding decals, as I usually add even more gloss coat liquid with the airbrush. Next time I will experiment and try add as little as possible, with a single layer of thin gloss coat with Humbrol Clear.

Николай ДомЭрик, потрясающе. Возьму на вооружение некоторые твои идеи, начну такой собирать на днях. Собирал АН-2М. Посмотри пожалуйста 1/48 АНТОНОВ HobbyBoss AN-2M COLT | Album by Nikolay (1:48)

ErikСпасибо, Николай! Она закончила, теперь я работаю над летным полем и фигурой.
Твоя тоже выглядит отлично. Повеселитесь с новым проектом.

Dietmar BogatzkiAbsolut Spitze gebaut, erinnert mich irgendwie an die Steel Buddies 🙂
10 February 2021, 18:59
Bernhard SchrockSchließe mich Nikolai an: kann kaum abwarten wenn fertig!! Das Grün ist super getroffen, inkl. den Schattierungen.

ErikThank You, vielen Dank euch! Der Flieger ist fertig, im Moment bastle ich am Drumherum.
Dietmar, guck mal auf Bild 77...😉
10 February 2021, 20:31
Dietmar BogatzkiGeil, Erik, was du aus dem Modell rausgeholt hast mit deinen Verbesserungen, ganz großes Kino
11 February 2021, 08:41
Slavo HazuchaSo in some kind of a time/space loop, you photographed your model in front of some buildings and then used the photograph as a template for the model?😉

Alexey Alexeevoh my....it's really awesome. Very impressive work. I was especially impressed by the fans in the cockpit, without them not a single Soviet plane could take off =)
12 February 2021, 06:53
Maciej BellosAwesome job!
About the fans, they are the ones generating the thrust, the engines are just decoration 😄
