discussion Hasegawa 1/48 JU87G-2 'Stuka'

[Dave W]

I've sprayed the wing tips and fuselage band with Xtracolour RLM 04 'Gelb'.Then I masked them and sprayed the undersides Xtracolour RLM65.Not happy with the preshading so will put another coat on later.

Looking good Dave. Did the pre-shading disappear?

Looking good Dave. Did the pre-shading disappear?

I didn't like my attempt at preshading so I covered it up.

 

[Guest]

Now this is a great Stuka!

 

[Dave W]

I've just masked the undersides and sprayed on the first coat of RLM70 (Humbrol enamel no.242)

 

[tr1ckey66]

Looking good Dave. Soon be time to mask that splinter pattern!

Keep up the great work

Nice work Dave, the Humbrol RLM colour seems to have gone down nicely.

 

[Guest]

Interesting... I am now encouraged even more to try out my Humbrol RLM colours.

Looking great Dave ! The preshade did'nt look bad, but I know the feeling if it does'nt meet with what you're hoping for. I still struggle with doing preshading but it does get easier the more you do it. Looking forward to the next update,keep up the great work cheers Trey

I gave the model a couple of coats of RLM70 (Humbrol 242) a few weeks ago.And over the last two evenings I've masked the camouflage pattern with Tamiya tape.Tonight I've put a coat of RLM 71 (Humbrol 241) on.

 

[Guest]

That'll look great when the tape comes off Dave.

 

[Dave W]

That'll look great when the tape comes off Dave.

I hope so.Humbrols versions of the two colours seem very similar.So I hope the splinter pattern shows up.

 

[papa 695]

That does look good Dave. You will be surprised by the difference when the masking comes off

 

[flyjoe180]

Interested to see the shades too when the tape is removed. Nice work Dave.

 

[monica]

looking good Dave, cannot wait to see under the tape

 

[Dave W]

I've removed all the masking tape and am pleased with the way it's turned out.Next step is a couple of coats of gloss clear coat followed by the decals.

 

[monica]

i like the nice softness of the patten, between the 2 colors, i know it has sharp line ,but think you know what i mean,

well done

 

[Guest]

That's looking good Dave. With the gloss clear coat is it the Humbrol one if so do you dilute it? If you do what ratios do you do?

I have a build I am doing at the moment and want to use some on it. Having never airbrushed with it I was wondering how best to go about it.

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice splinter camouflage work Dave, those colours seem to have come out okay. I recently bought some Humbrol glosscote too and like Terry would be interested to know the spraying ratios if you used it.
