Really nice work Neuling. Love the details. Top job Sir.

Mr James
Another great build from your good self Neuling. The realistic photographs are on point again.

Lex Jassies
These dioramas are like van Goghs. You immediately recognize the hand of the master 😉
And again a beautiful diorama.

Rando
I almost can't comprehend how these are models and figurines. Incredible, thank you for sharing, Neuling.

Alexander Grivonev
Man I am a huge fan of your dioramas, so freaking good and natural looking!

Mr James
Well said Lex, you're right, you can tell instantly from the first image that its a Neuling masterpiece. 🙂

Lebloge
Agree with Lex & James…no daubt! ☺️

Guy Rump
Excellent modelling, the driver laughing is incredible. Another Neuling masterpiece! 👍

Robert Podkoński
What more can be said about Neuling's creation? Fantastic models, fantastic diorama, life-like photos... Just perfect!

Hanno Kleinecke
Unmistakably, this is the handwriting of Mr. Neuling, who again has created one of his lively looking dios.
Excellent work !👍

James C
Stunning work as always Neuling. Love the subtle weathering that you apply. Awesome pictures s well 👍

Another brilliant build! Great inspiration Neuling!👍🏻

Recce 4-6
Again outstanding performance

Neuling
Many thanks mates! When I made this diorama more than 20 years ago I could not imagine that expert modellers from all over the world would watch and praise my work. Thanks again!

gorby
Excellent dio Neuling! The posing of the figures really brings the scene to life.

Bohrmann
This is art, both the models, the diorama and the photos.. Thanks for sharing.

MS K
Amazing, The ground looks so real!!!

Spanjaard
as said by many others, Neuling style is obvious in the first (amazing) picture already. what a beauty!!

Rui S
Great work, again 👍

Neuling
Thanks a lot, mates! Much appreciated!

Joe Marrero
Very nice!

Neuling
Thank you, Joe! Much appreciated!

Zbynek Honzik
Nice collection! 👍

Miguel Vaquero
Beautiful!! Do you polish the surface to achieve that glossy finish??

David Griffiths
I try to aim for a semi-gloss finish rather than high gloss. I normally use automotive paint and polish it with various grades of Micromesh.

Michael Kohl
Beautiful stuff.

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful indeed (and a F-RSIN kit! Respect! 😉 )

Neuling
"Beautiful" is the word!

George Williams

Very nice painting job and weathering 👍. I have the same question that Thomas.

Tzonglin Wu
Thank you all for your likes.
For me, this time is also an experiment. It's my first time to build a kit like this way.
I'm looking for a quick way to save time while I'm busy at work.
This time I didn't use primer or do pre-shading.
I airbrushed whole fuselage with the main color.
Then refer to photos, hand brushed the darker and lighter colors to create difference.
I think this make the shade effect.
Until this process, only water-based acrylic paint had been used.
In the #13~#15 pictures shown, I have used Mr. Weathering's black to create the panel line.
Yesterday, I covered the plane with mat varnish, I found that the contrast became smaller.
I think I should increase the contrast before the mat varnish in the future.
My weathering process is not over yet.
Oil paints, color pencils, etc. may be used to enhance the effect.

Cuajete
Thank you so much, Tzonglin Wu 👍

Romain Sablou
Nice weathering, we can clearly see that you worked closely with photos references. What did you use for the main color ?

Erik Leijdens
Looking great Tzonglin! Love the way you've weathered it

Tzonglin Wu
Hi, Romain. I mixed that color by myself. I selected a photo as reference and mixed grey, blue, black and white to approach the photo.

Sergej I
As everyone already stated, great paintjob and decals 👍

J35J
Great work so far! Looking forward to see the finished plane.👍🏻

Final picts are top-notch, so as the model in itself ! Damn, I've got the same kit waiting in stash, but you set the bar high !

Neuling
Same as Robert! 👍👍

Steffen
Hallo Thomas, ja, die sind noch da!
Hättest du sonst noch an etwas aus meinem Stash Interesse?
Gruß, Steffen

Thomas Neuss
Hi - die beiden Sachen sind dann alles. Ich komme mir selber etwas dämlich vor, dass ich das übersehen habe, als ich die Mosquito angefragt habe... seufz. Jetzt bin ich alles durchgegangen. Viele Grüße, Thomas

Roland Sachsenhofer
Besides Martin Mars, there are other projects going on - although 'side project' always sounds so disrespectful. In reality, these are models that really excite me, the kits are excellent, with a few goodies you can add a little more value, and the original machines are a dream anyway!
Just like here: I'll show you 'The White Rocket'! This T-38A Talon was used by the Mercury astronauts as a training device, another interesting story. The kit from Wolfpack is good, but a few etched parts from Eduard in the cockpit and above all the 3D print of the two jets at the rear increase the degree of realism even further.

Maciej Bellos
Looking good Roland!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you! Glad you like it!

Roland Sachsenhofer
These five pictures show the latest status: the surfaces, decals included, are finished, now the assembly of the various antennas, sensors, landing gear, airbrakes, pitot tube, canopy.... canopy can begin! So, at least the final is already in sight 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
This build has now come to an end: a generally pleasing modelling experience, even if I was a little disappointed with this - for me - first Wolfpack kit: the fit of the parts was wonderful, the detailing was pleasing - for example in the cockpit area and the well-represented complex hinge mechanisms of the two cockpit canopies. But then: the undercarriage, airbrakes, the turbine outlets... it was all rather 'meagre'.... Accordingly, some improvements were needed here: a cockpit interior set from Eduard and an etched parts set that helped to detail the undercarriage and - very helpfully - the airbrakes. The fabulous nozzles from ResKit were also a really good investment! I love the decals and also the decal version from Wolfpack: in the look presented here, this T-38A 'The White Rocket' was flown by Deke Slayton and 'Wally' Shirra in the astronaut training of the Mercury programme - a fact that fascinated me.

Maciej Bellos
I like it. You achieved a nice white look. Congrats!

Robert Podkoński
Good job!

Augie
Superb work as always Roland

Skyhiker
Roland it is amazing how you keep whipping out these high quality models. What's your secret? You must have quite a collection by now.

Neuling
Beautiful build and interesting story. Thanks for showing/telling!

Sergej I
Great Phantom, excellent touch up with the PE details 👍. Also noticed correctly-missing front Sparrows 🙂

Neuling
Wow! 1/72 !

Neuling
I can feel the speakers` boomboom ....... nice and shiny model

Christoph Kunz
Pretty cool for your first one. 👍
I like that toolbox, can you tell from which company it is?

NitrousRocket
The tool box was part of the Miniart Maybach HL120 set

Christoph Kunz
Thank you for the info.

Neuling
Very nice dio!

Jan Janssen
Unusual subject wonder how it builds up, #following

Mr D
Thanks Jan 👍will update through build.
It's from the 1990's

Mr D
Thanks for the likes 😁👍 it's interesting to see how a 33 year old kit builds up ??

Edouard Carr
Great idea about the watch pins! ⌚ Definitely gonna try this out on my builds. Looking forward to the finished result.

Mr D
Hi Edouard👋😀👍.
Yes l just get cheap ones of eBay, the do different sizes, you can pull ends n spring out for barrel look, or file ends last to have a recoil cannon look.
The gun turret nearly there now....lots of sanding n filling low spot.
Thanks for looking in on build.👍👍

Thanks Michael 👋😀👍
Good to have you along ✈️

Zbynek Honzik
I'm very curious to see the result. I built this model as a young boy too.

Mr D
Hi Zbynek 👋🙂👍.
Thanks for your interest. Nice to know you had it too, l built X3 the Tu airliner and the bomber. But this was my favourite as l liked the shape and that it had floats n guns.
Got part of tail on this evening.
Keep looking in for updates 😃👍👍

Mr D
Airliner Was the Tu-134

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Mr D
Good to have you along Guy 👋😃.
Bit of fine sanding n tidying to do next then look at getting an engine effect in cowling area.
I replaced side vent for smaller one now, checked photos... and l made it way to big.
Catch you on the next steps.

Mr D
Thanks to Everyone who has liked n taken an interest 👋😃👍.. Appreciate it 👍

Edouard Carr
Hey Mr D whats the Gorilla Glue like? Is it a clear PVA or a resin Super Glue Type? Do you use it just for clear bits or as n all purpose? Thanks in advance E.

Mr D
Hi, it dries 100% clear but is slow.. to air dry ..so leave overnight.
But it's worth it as very strong. And is very neutral on paint and clear parts.
It's almost like an air drying epoxy, not harsh like super glue or poli ...very safe.
I only use it on clear stuff as it's stronger than PVA but not good for general building.. l do use it to fill gaps sometimes.
👍

Mike Montgomery
Don't think I'd trust those decals. The red stars are easy enough to replace or paint on, the bort numbers might be more of a challenge.

Edouard Carr
GG. Now added to my shopping list along with watch pins 😉

Oleg Smilyk
Hey,Oleg,very nice result!The wing mechanization of this model is impressive. The armament is very rare, beyond all praise!Great job!
