Well the glacier has shifted today and I managed to get most of the RLM 82 sprayed.


Not entirely successful as there has been some strange patchiness in the colour - maybe due to it being colder than normal? Not the end of the world though.


Too dark for pics!

That's looking really nice Matt, your build speed is about the same as mine mate seems ages since you started this but I'm now watching the thread and looking forward to the end result.


I'm not sure if you've planned it already and are adding it later but the doras (and I'm sure the ta152 had them aswell) had a flap of metal along the exhaust just below the supercharger intake just to deflect crap/fumes etc going into the supercharger, I'm doing a D9 at the moment and will be scratching mine out of a bit of brass sheet probably.


Cheers

Thanks for the comments both!


Phil - thanks for the info, don't think I'll be adding this now for the simple reason that the supercharger has been permanently attached and there's not much room for manoeuvre.


I've finished spraying the RLM82 on the sides and tidied up the overspray so hopefully can get a coat of Klear down today in readiness for decals.


I've had very little motivation for ages and have actually done loads yesterday and Friday!
 
That looks good so far Matt. I quite like the slightly patchy look of the paint, it gives a faded feel which might be in keeping with a late-war aircraft.
 
Here's a build I missed. It certainly looks great, except the paint work - excellent.
 
This is really starting to look good. The Germans built some gorgeous aircraft didn't they?

A bit more progress. Decalling done using the kit supplied markings - had read a few comments elsewhere saying the decals were a bit cr*p. I had no problems at all and found they bedded down into the detail well with some decal solutions. I did replace a few of the tiny ones with some leftovers from a Tamiya sheet simply because the HB one were a bit "blobby".

Panel lines were highlighted using ready mixed washes - I usually make them myself with oil paint. Much quicker and easier this way!

Annoyingly, the Ammo paint seemed to react to the white spirit in the washes, first time I've had a problem when using acrylics. I'll have to respray the red stripe but it gives me a chance to try the Tamiya flexible masking tape!

Fiddly bit ready for colour! I forgot to paint the undercarriage leg when doing the wheelbays. I'm going to try another new toy - Ammo's acrylic metal colour on these.

Looking nice Matt, so what caused the reaction?


Was it the enamel wash reacting with the red acrylic? I was going to use a brown enamel wash I picked up recently but if there's a chance it might react with my acrylics I might not bother.

Not sure Phil. I always coat my acrylics with Klear before doing any washes/weathering. The other colours were fine (strangely including the Ammo Yellow). The washes only affected the Red.


Fixed now and, in case anyone is interested, the Tamiya flexible tape is excellent!
