Hi all!!!

Something new from my workbench. This week I finished two 1/72-Kits. A P-51B an a Ju 87 B-2.

At first the P-51B from HobbyBoss. It's Capt. Gentile's famous "Shangri La".

I like these easy assembly kits because you can build a really good looking model in a short time.

Stefan some great builds with subtle weathering. I don't know how you get such a great finish at such a small scale I think I will stick to 1/32. Both deserve 5*

Hi Vaughan!!!

Thank you very much. Your commendation makes me glad.

To achieve a finish like these I only use dilute oil paint and pastels.

At first I bring the oil paint on the model with a brush. With a kind of makeup pad I wipe across the model surface, so the oil paint still remains into the panel lines and gives a little weathering to the surface.

After that I create some details like exhaust plumes and gunshot residues with different pastels. And that's all!!

Hope my poor english is somewhat understandable?!:rolleyes:

Have a good weekend

Stefan :redface:

Absolutely lovely jobs at this scale. The finish is spot on and way beyond my eye sight nowadays! Great weathering effects without overdoing it and a couple of really interesting and different subjects.
 
Love both the Mustang and the Stuka, Stefan. Great work and well weathered.
 
Great work on both aircraft Stefan. I got some oil paints for Christmas, I'll have to get them out and give it a go after seeing what you've done.

Top marks mate.

Yeah, Tony....you will see that it's very easy but effective. But don't forget to seal the model with a clear coat before. For sealing I use "Klear". To dilute the oil paint I use lighter fluid.

Klear will not dissolved by lighter fluid.

Greetings

Stefan :)
 
They are Two lovely builds. In fact it was not until I saw the giant fingers in the last picture I would never have guessed that they are 1/72 scale.

As for your English its pretty darn good!!

Five stars for each of the aircraft, (and four for the English lol )
