hey,

I dont use standard primers, I have one revell acrilic paint: stone gray, i think is 36265...

I always use this color for primer.

You can see that paint on last picture, it's on the right side of picture

Cheers,

Roman

Interesting Roman what do you use to thin the Revell paint as it is too thick to spray directly from the pot?

Hey Vaughan,

I always mix acrilic paint with destil water... nothing else, and ratio is about 50-50%.

For my oppinion, primer is used for seeing errors on model, and many times when plastic is no cover with paint you cannot see errors (i mean gaps, panel lines, etc.)

And when I "inspect" model and I'm sadisfied with look, put color on it, but if I see some error I can easily put more putty, sand or do something on that acrilic paint.

This is my way

here you can see primer and preshade

also must say that this color STONE GRAY is really good color, because is always different from plastic color... and you can see everything when you spray it on model

Now I have doubt... searching for that plane reference on the net, cannot found anything. Just 1 picture of Alfred Grislawski when he sitting near the rudder of this Bf-109.

I see on some art underside capotage is paited in yellow, on other art no yellow color?

Can someone help me?

 

[Vaughan]

Hi Roman

Thanks for the info on the paint. Steve(stona) is your man on everything about 109's. I'm sure he'll be on line at some point today.

Hi Roman,you are doing White 10 are you?

Is the photo the one of Griswalski leaning on the horizontal stabiliser (port) showing the WHITE fin and rudder with 111 'abschuss' marked (71 +40)?

I'm not sure what you mean by capotage but the white continued on the fuselage under the horizontal stabiliser. The underside of the stabilisers remained in RLM 76.

I have a picture of another JG50 aircraft (Hermann Graf's) which shows the area better.It is marked in the same way as Griswalski's. It's in Ries and Obermaier's 'Luftwaffe rudder markings 1936-1945'. I'll try and get you a scan. I hope I've got the correct aircraft as I'm away from home/books until Christmas after this evening!

Cheers

Steve.

Edit. I think you may mean the yellow under the nose on the oil cooler panier! I'll be back.

 

[stona]

Hi again Roman,got your email.

First here's a piccy of Graf's aircraft showing the demarcation of the white on the empennage. Note that the stencil has either been masked or re-applied. I'd say masked!

I'm looking for something on the yellow (or not) panier.

I've got a book on Graf and Griswalski but my house is in disarray as SWMBO wants the floors re-sanded and varnished for Christmas and I can't bl**dy find it!

Cheers

Steve

 

[Guest]

thx stona for quick answer...

I dont know any other word for capotage... maybe engine cowling?

but uderside the engine, part of the plane from the prop till wheel bay...

My bad english... sorry for missunderstand

 

[stona]

We're in luck! I can't find Bergstroms's book but I have found a profile by Claes Sundin which is based on images in that book and he has the panier as.............Ta Dah........RLM 04,yellow.

That's what I'd do.

Cheers

Steve
