Ben STONELooks good Hanno but why is the swastika background on so early? Did you paint it?
3 June 2015, 22:28
Choppa Nuttaeasier to paint it first, white first mask the circle then the red, mask the band and spray the dark colours last 🙂
Seems the sensible thing to do to me at least, less masking and no chance of the dark colours showing through the white and red.
Hanno, I take it that's about right ? 🙂
Really interesting subject btw and what a great colour !!

Ben STONEYeh I guessed that was the process Choppa, also I doubt a red decal would go very well over dark blue which was probably more my question but poorly worded.
Sometimes the decision of what to paint and mask first can be a hard one, I know it took me a while to decide a plan of action for the Macchi MC72 I did recently.

Choppa Nuttawell worth thinking it through though 🙂
Yeah you did a sweet job on that MC72 !!!
for me I have to try and paint everything before assembly, well as much as possible anyhow.
I don't how some people manage to get away with assembling everything first then paint it all in one hit and yet still get crisp detail in all those awkward to reach places..

Ben STONEAgree Choppa. It's especially the case with float planes and the fitting of struts etc. Makes it almost impossible to get good coverage of paint, sanding and polishing or glueing struts after painting and partly ruining the paint job. A happy medium is a fine line.

Christian Keller"Blau blau blau blüht der Enzian... 🙂" schönes und selten gesehenes Modell, ich liebe dieses knallige Blau.
-beautiful and rarely seen model, I love this flashy blue.

Hanno KleineckeThanks mates !
@Ben: Yes, I painted it, as there was no decal furnished in the the decal sheet.
@ Choppa : Actually it was done the exact other way round, first one coat of aluminum, then a few thin coats of blue, then I masked the red band and last the white circle. Future is on, next are the decals.
@ Christian, das Blau hat es mir auch angetan, mit einer der Gründe das Modell zu bauen .

Choppa Nuttaah well there we go !! not that I mind being completely wrong, haha 😄

Hanno KleineckeJust my simple way of thinking : one step after the other......😳 I always did it like that since I started painig my models as a boy. The way you suggested has a lot to it, so Im going to give it a try next time 😄

Choppa Nuttayeah it seems the easier way to me having said that I have done it your way to but ended up going through the relative expensive masking tape a lot quicker. If I can think of a more economical way of doing things that's what I generally go for, not that I am expert or anything, which is probably why I strive for the simplest way of doing. If I was an expert I might be more cavalier 🙂

Christian MeyerhoffGabba Gabba Hey! Das Ding wird super! Schön das man hier bei SM auch mal ein Huma Modell sieht.... 😉 Welches Blau hast du denn genommen ?
4 June 2015, 18:56
Hanno KleineckeThanks Christian !
@ Christian Meyerhoff : Humamania, dank Dir ! Ich hab Vallejo Air RAL 5002 über Revell Aqua Aluminium gesprüht, sieht im grellen Licht fast zu violett aus, aber in anderer Beleuchtung find ichs gut. Das Ding macht echt Spaß !
@ Choppa : You're absolutely right, I used quite a lot of the stuff. So next time I will try it your way. 🙂

Christian MeyerhoffSo kann man auch mit kleinen Sachen Menschen eine Freude machen ... 🙂 Schön das Dir der Bausatz gefällt.

Hanno, ok then, it's mine all mine! until you do it of course then it's yours all yours 😄

Kerry COXYou surprise me every time you post a build Hanno, and this is no exception mate.
I can only endorse all the wonderful comments I see here Hanno, just great to see, and this is an aircraft I never knew existed, and all the more interesting mate.
Cheers. 🙂

Christian MeyerhoffApplaus, Applaus! Das ist die schönste HUMA 209 die ich bis lang gesehen habe ! Das hast Du prima gemacht!

Hanno KleineckeThank you so much Kerry, I am really into the unusual and a bit odd looking birds at the moment.... 🙂
@ Christian : Danke Dir ! Hat echt Spaß gemacht, die Kleine !
@ Choppa : Thanks mate, no Mudak needed on this little plane......

Rui SCompletely agree with Kerry, Hanno, 👍 just the white circle in the tail...🤔 but that's just my opinion.
8 June 2015, 01:06
Hanno KleineckeThanks Ben, thanks Rui !
@Rui : Maybe you're right,I wil have a look through my spare decal box, maybe I can find at least something to add some black to the white circle.
But personally I dont' really miss the swastica, just some colour missing. 🙂
8 June 2015, 04:33
Choppa NuttaPut a black number 4 in the white circle, that way it looks like a crooked cross with bits missing, or chop up a swastika to look like a number 4 as a number on a race plane would still look just right 🙂

Hanno KleineckeThank you Holger, fertiggemunstert ! 😉
That is a great idea, thanks Choppa ! 🙂

Kerry COXVery subtle Hanno, and it will make people look twice when they see it. 🙂 👍
