Because the kit always looks so angry when I walk past, I decided to continue here 😄

Hi Christoph!
Sorry, ich habe deinen Kommentar irgendwie komplett übersehen 🙁
Das Projekt hatte ein bisschen Pause wegen dem F-14 GB... Aber jetzt hoffe ich, dass ich die Maschine zeitnah fertig bekomme 😄

"And now, to something completely different..." 👍

Taking a place in front of the stage, ready to start some head-banging!😉

Guy Rump
Back to props Roland, watching! 🙂

Nathan Dempsey
Yes please 🙂 Love a big Spitfire build. Now to set the mood:

That film is bloody brilliant! The cracking face is just perfecto what fantastic animation!
Thanks for sharing Nathan 👍

Oh yeah I'm watching the build too 😉

Rui S
Big one. I'm in.
@Nathan Crazy vid. Thx for sharing 👍

Welcome mates, nice to have you abord 👍
Steve Harris was my greatest „idol" and influence as a Bass player (long time ago). So, the band has been with me my whole life, even if I don't like all the albums anymore, they never actually produced anything really „bad" (IMHO). This doesn't apply to many bands.

Nathan, thx for sharing this video. The collision scene would make a cool dio. Greg where are you? 😄

This is already looking great. Nice cockpit 🙂
17 August 2020, 17:49
Daniel
Oh, didnt know you were already exploring the world of big scale wwII props 🙂 Taking a seat here!
Cockpit looks amazing 👍 are these all kit parts?
17 August 2020, 20:00
Rui S
Beautiful paintjob on the cockpit. Excellent weathering 👍

Roland I'm with you on the technical ability of Mr Harris, I saw them at the Gentng Arena a couple of years ago & they were perfect 👍
I've been a big Maiden fan since the 80' when Paul Dianno was vocalist, brilliant Brit band 😉
17 August 2020, 21:29
Roland Revolvermann
Thank you mates! Much appreciated 😄

@Daniel
I have some props that I still want to build. Since I live in the home of the BF 109, some 109s and 262s are of course also planned.
The large parts are better for my eyes and fingers 😄

@Munkyslut
As a Briton, it is practically a civic duty to attend a Maiden concert😉
18 August 2020, 12:14
Slavo Hazucha
Well I was a kid in the 80´s, but already aware of the good stuff - Maiden, Motörhead & co... even some odd German stuff like KREATOR & SODOM😉 - not sure if that would be a topic for a 109 or 262... 😄
18 August 2020, 16:18
Roland Revolvermann
I think there were a couple of planes on the "agent orange" album cover. But don't know exactly what that was anymore. Certainly not a "Messerschmitt" 😄

PS:
@Daniel
Complete OOB build 🙂
The fit is "good". Of course, after the Tamiya kit, a little "descent" 😉
The details (especially the rivets/panel lines) are great IMHO. But I can't say if it's accurate. I'm absolutely no Spitfire expert.

Roland Revolvermann
Applied a testshot of my RAF Sky mix. IMHO the AKSky is to„greenish" so i added some superior blue and RAF Gray.
19 August 2020, 15:45
Munkyslut
Looks good!
To be honest every time I try & replicate Sky it comes out a different shade, I just go with what looks the best rather than accuracy.
19 August 2020, 17:49
Roland Revolvermann
Yes, that's my way too 😄

If, like me, you want to put Eddie in as a pilot, the pedals may be in the way. I had to remove them. Maybe it's because my Eddie gained a bit in lockdown.

Daniel Klink
Really fantastic interior work mate 👍

Thank you Daniel! Much appreciated 🙂

Base is ready: Thanks to my beloved wife: she created this with a photo transfer technique.
21 August 2020, 14:40
Nathan Dempsey
That looks sweeeeeet!
21 August 2020, 15:27
Christoph Kunz
That Base looks fantastic.
22 August 2020, 15:03
Slavo Hazucha
Base looks top notch! 👍

Now to the really difficult one - if the model looks better than the base = obviously not advisable in this situation... If the base is better than the model = not cool & dangerous too, when your wife provides such a top spec part, you better have to perform...! A special degree of harmony seems to be needed here...😉
22 August 2020, 16:41
Roland Revolvermann
Thank you mates. I passed the praise.

No i'm not nervous. Just no pressure...

Nice progress - I love the in-flight action pose! 👍

Seems Aces high Eddie really was flying high for prolonged periods of time, his grin does resemble the shape of the pilots oxygen mask "a bit" 😄
29 August 2020, 13:21
Guy Rump
Great looking pilot, looks just like someone I used to know..... 🙂
29 August 2020, 16:25
Fabio Cannova
Great job!!!!
1 September 2020, 15:27
Roland Revolvermann
Thanks Slavo and Guy!
Eddie reacts extremely to criticism regarding his mouth, sooo psst😉

Very little grinding was necessary. Then applied primer + marbling.
1 September 2020, 15:28
Roland Revolvermann
Many thanks also to Fabio 🙂
1 September 2020, 15:31
Daniel Klink
Marblemania at its best..
Looking great Roland
1 September 2020, 17:11
Roland Revolvermann
Many Thanks Daniel!
Applied underside color. Sadly you can't really see the marbling effect on this picture.
2 September 2020, 16:42
Fabio Cannova
Very smooth, I like it.
2 September 2020, 18:01
Soeren R.
The paint job looks really great!😉
4 September 2020, 15:47
Roland Revolvermann
Thanks Fabio 🙂
After masking the underside, i sprayed AK Real colors RAF dark green. I want rough edges that's why I sprayed it freehand.
4 September 2020, 15:51
Roland Revolvermann
Many Thanks Soeren! Much appreciated🙂
4 September 2020, 15:53
Spanjaard
Looking good
4 September 2020, 16:00
Nathan Dempsey
Oh that first color is nice! I've got to admit that every time I use AK Real I fall a little more in love.
4 September 2020, 17:11
Jos Jansen
Cool subject Roland...!
5 September 2020, 07:40
Guy Rump
Looking great Roland, your marbling is superb 🙂
5 September 2020, 08:12
Slavo Hazucha
Upperside marbling definitely kicking through 👍
5 September 2020, 08:30
Munkyslut
I'm learning more every time I check in😉
5 September 2020, 10:03
Rui S
I'm with you Munkyslut.
This Marbling Thequenic is great.
Your result is looking excellent, Roland 👍
5 September 2020, 10:15
Roland Revolvermann
Thanks a lot mates for your nice comments 🙂

@Nathan These colors are a godsend for me. No clogging and forgiving of any kind of wrong dilution or pressure. You can basically dilute it with anything you have standing around.

@Slavo The plan is for the plane to be pretty weathered. Therefore, the paint should really not look new. After I recently fell in love with oil paints, it should now be a good playground for weathering.

@Rui/Munkyslut To be honest, I'm usually not a big fan of this technique, but in this case it is very useful. With jets in particular, I now prefer postshading. It always depends on the desired effect. But that's just my opinion 🙂
5 September 2020, 12:58
Rui S
@ Roland, Well it seems to me that it is more efective in the darker green, than with the Brown??? 🤔
5 September 2020, 13:20
Andy Ball
Great effects with that pre-shaded marbling
5 September 2020, 13:31
Roland Revolvermann
Thanks Andy, I really appreciate your comment!

@Rui Yes, it actually looks like this in the picture. But that's because I didn't have good lighting for the picture. The brown is lighter than the green and therefore reflects more strongly. I took another photo without the light: the effect can already be seen. Of course you can also marble with different colors or, as i prefer, post-shading later.
5 September 2020, 14:01
Fabio Cannova
Hi Roland, it's only marbling effects or you added some post-shading? Great job!!
5 September 2020, 16:54
Roland Revolvermann
Thanks Fabio! It's only black basing, no post-shading.
5 September 2020, 18:58
Fabio Cannova
Ok, thanks Roland.
5 September 2020, 19:36
Daniel
Wow, this kit has nice surface detail and you used it to max effect - fanstastic paint job!
Big fan of AK RC myself, best paints I used so far 👍
5 September 2020, 19:40
Slavo Hazucha
You managed to keep the marbling very nicely consistent through the transitions, the result looks excellent! 👍 What a canvas for all the subsequent weathering fun... 🙂 👍
6 September 2020, 07:10
Roland Revolvermann
Many Thanks Daniel and Slavo 🙂
The kit indeed is very nicely detailed. The fit is great: shake'n bake 😄 Especially considering the very low price for the MK2 version without Eddie.
6 September 2020, 10:12
Treehugger
Interesting. There is apparenlty an IXC version for this, I might go for that one as I am a sucker for the mk IX variant.
11 September 2020, 16:02
Roland Revolvermann
I also have the IXc in stash. It's almost the same kit.
11 September 2020, 16:14
Christian Kohl
Exzellent, great work!
12 September 2020, 16:38
Roland Revolvermann
Thanks Christian 🙂
Started weathering today, finish line in sight...
14 September 2020, 19:22
Guy Rump
Looking really great Roland 🙂
14 September 2020, 20:25
Slavo Hazucha
Those roundels just absorbed themselves into the rivet lines... 😄 Starting to look the role for some cover pics! 👍

Thank you for your kind and motivating comments! Much appreciated 🙂
