mustang1989 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Wayne:Man that track looks awesome and I like the stencils. What kind of stuff are you going to use for the weathering?

Agent G Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Joe, I'll spray the thing with a mix of Tamiya Buff, Deck Tan and F/White. I'll go back and scrub the finish with a old brush creating chips and worn paint. After that a wash of tan enamel mixed with a dab of burnt umber oil in all the nooks and crannies. I go light with the wash and pinwash as to not make the thing too dark. Sunbleached and worn is the effect I'm going for. When all that is pretty dry I'll used tiny dabs of oil paints to accent hatches and high wear areas. Tracks get a dark dirty brown base followed by layers of red brown/rust colored washes. I'll finish them with a drybrush of MM Enamel "Jet Exhaust" as that color looks just like a sand burnished track in the desert. This is the look I'm after. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=79981 It takes longer to describe than to do!

mustang1989 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Wayne:Now that's an in depth weathering tutorial there! I remember seeing something like that on a Vallejo dvd that I have here at the house. I've watched it about 3 or 4 times just for retention sake. You've added a couple of things that aint on that video though. Thanks for sharing that info and look forward to seeing it in action. Jason:Wow! Thats a high parts count from what I can see! I've got a couple of those crushed boxes but contents ok kits too. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Ok fellas I'm going to kick this thing off with a little recap of this kit. I had already started this kit last November but put it on freeze for another GB thats going on elsewhere and then again for this GB. Here's where it all started. My Tamiya Fw190 D-9 fuselage halves laid out together before any cutting took place: and after carving the front of the plane from the fuselage and the tail fin access panel from the tail: This'll be the update that I'll be using for this beauty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wait a week to get started on mine, gotta finish a F-150 pick-up model for a friend first. I'm one of those build one at a time guys.

mustang1989 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 This is with the CMK tailwheel retracting mechanism "guts" in their undercarraige set for this bird. I simply could NOT resist doing this. The fuselage is together with no cockpit assembled yet. The assist spring that came with the CMK kit SUCKED so I bought some guitar string, cut to proper length, painted steel and applied a MIG productions dark wash to the spring.

Agent G Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Oh Mark this is a geat one. It's one of the Cyber Hobby "White Box" Limited Edition kits. I bought this one a couple years ago for asking price, $45, and now they're up to $55+ if your lucky. A friend decided to thin the heard and let me pick up another for $25. I'll be building African panzers all summer! G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
