This 1 cent comparison is really making it worse to believe that this has been assembled! 🙂 If you put a 28cm Frisbee next to it, that would be something for me 🙂🙂🙂

Thank you! The brengun kit seems to be a very nice one, especially in that small scale.
This was not the first engine of that company I puzzled together, I like this kits! See my gallery.
At the moment I'm doing rigging heavily and sitting between lots of wires 😠

Craftmanship at its best, what a magnificent build.

Question; the metal parts of the fuselage look a litle blotchy, what gives a very natural metal look. How did you do that?

22 April 2017, 08:02

bughunter
After primer the base metal color is Alclad "Dark Alu", which can be made a bit darker with Alclad "Steel". After that I painted small lines of an acrylic metal paint form Gunze (brighter metal like silver or alu are possible) using a small brush and polished it immediately using a cotton bud. The final step is a light washing with dark oil colors.
