Started this one.
The Ju 86 which were seen in 2 different Austrian markings, but at the end was never part of the Airforce. Here the overall silver Ju86 #311 at the airshow in Vienna-Aspern in early 1937.

The mention aircraft was sent to the Airshow in Aspern as a "demonstrator" in austrian marking. Austria was interessed in buying 18 Ju86K-7. Due to several reasons Junkers was not prepared for that airshow and on short note removed the markings of an 86K-2 that was already prepared to be sold to Sweden. They put on austrian markings, a service number #311 and flew it over to Austria for just this one day. Flight captain Behrendt did a good job and the aerobatic air-display was a great success. So far so good. Why I am telling this? 86-K2 is a differend engine and cowling. The box is a 86E1/2. Aftermarket conversion products are out there (Kora) .....I had difficulties to locate/buy some.
Therefore: it is Scratchbuilding time again !!! 😎

thx Alec &Lukasz for you very kind support 👍 - appreciated.
But the first cuts are already done - no way back now 😉
(and I have to odmit: usually I like it to test my skills by a DIY task every now and then)

Ah, a new and very interesting project. Of course I will follow that. Have fun with the Ju 86 Jürgen.

Very interesting and extremely promising! We talked about it in Ried, and now I'm delighted to see these ideas being realised in such an impressive way!

Thank you Alec, Thomas & Cuajete. When I had finished I thought: "Grab, overdone. This bird was for sure not that worn as it went to the airshow more or less fresh from the manufacturer." But the more looked at it the more I was okay with the result. So your comments are welcome and soothe my concerns. 👍

Don't worry Juergen, even on new airplanes there are sometimes clear visual differences in the sheet metal. For example, some manufacturers deburr the rivet holes with a grinding machine, the sheets are made of different alloys or are applied with different rolling directions, all of which have an influence on the appearance. I like it.

Hi Everyone.
Can anyone recommend a good white paint, l been using the Vallejo brand, but it is quite translucent!! And takes a ridiculous amount of coats to have nice bright coverage.
My other Vallejo paint are nice but the yellow n white are very see-throgh .
I prefer acrylic's but will use enamel if it solves problems.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I'm using Tamiya acrylics white (and also yellow). Sadly due to the color specifics (or pigments) it's realy hard to achieve a perfect coverage in just one coat. AmmoMig OneShot Primer white gives nice white finish.

Hi, thanks for replying 👍👍
Really appreciate the advice... I'm only a year in the hobby so tips really help 😃

I love working with Tamiya acrylic paints as they are very easy to brush on and very forgiving when airbrushed. Color choice is limited but this is when and where other brands come handy. My first choice to go for would be Ammomig and or AK Real Colors. Ammo comes in bottles ready to be airbrushed straight away where AK (and tamiya) need to be thinned before airbrushing. Oh, Mr Color/GunMetal is also worth noting.

I find tamiya white primer to be the best… but it's not airbrushable, it's rattlecan.

![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Thanks Ben👍
I watched a long video on YouTube....it was testing lots of different White's from different companies. AK Intense white came out in top 3,
I got a bottle and it's been fantastic, l do X2 coats n it's done... Night n day difference from Velejo White,
I'm generally happy with Velejo, but the white n yellow are bit poor.
I have Tamiya Yellow, but is bit thick !!
Is it true you can thin Tamiya with Isopropanol??
Thanks for helping...
Im going to be building the IAR-80 soon and has yellow in-it... Luckily it's a pale yellow.

Nice start👍. Looking forward to your build. I´am curious to see the pros and cons of the kit.

I didn't dare to cut main weels bays, I just swore loudly at Trumpeter)
And there are some other remakes need to be done to make "A' from this model...
24 May, 13:25
![](/profiles/img/11807-s.jpg)
Many thanks , mates 😉
For those who wish to assemble this model, it will be necessary to plan a little surgery on the main landing gear bays.
Other than that, I will say that the kit is better than Italeri or Fujimi but that's just my opinion. The level of detail is much higher than the other two
24 May, 15:19

Jaw dropping detailing -as usally! All looks so easy and still perfectly clean and we all know how hard this is (especially in 72) - great job!

Many thanks,
For the moment, I don't find any difficulty in building this kit.
I only used putty in the air intakes, the fitting is quite good

Thanks Alek 😉
Dearest readers,
For those who would like to build this model but are not happy about having to open the gear hatches, you should know that these famous hatches can be closed on the ground. Yesterday, I found a photo which attests to the thing in the book "lock on" by Verlinden. These hatches are closed manually by the ground mechanics during a prolonged stop of the plane, a sort of storage, this avoids FOD. Of course, this is very rare, but nevertheless it is possible. Also, it's up to you 😉

A tadpole I can see. But at least it's not a FROG or you would have your work cut out for you. 😉

Beautiful work so far, especially love the paint scheme with tan nose - that's what I'd like to build as well. I found some pictures with the "NE" on tail in the same paint scheme, so hope to avoid aftermarket decals. Just got the same kit, so have to follow this thread 🙂
Is the "Hobbyboss" in the album title a joke or a mistake?

it simply looks magnificent. what a wonderful added detail and paint job.... wow.....
27 July, 07:59
![](/profiles/img/11807-s.jpg)
Many thanks, mates 😉
Trumpeter's decals are very crude, especially the lettering. The roundels are all the same size while in reality the wing roundels are larger than those on the fuselage. If you can, get the KA-6D intruder decals from Italeri which are printed by Cartograf.
29 July, 07:51

Salut Ronan, il est magnifique et le résultat va encore une fois être incroyable 🙂
3 August, 18:43
![](/profiles/img/11836-205-s.jpg)
Great job Ronan! 👍 What would you say, a comparson between the Trumpeter and the old Italeri kit?
6 August, 14:04
![](/profiles/img/11807-s.jpg)
Many thanks,mates 👍
@Harry : i would Say that neither is perfect. The Trumpeter one is much detailled but the italeri IS not so Bad . I would say you need a box of each to make a nice intruder. From Italeri you Can get the decals, the wheels, the main Gear doors, the ordonnance...
That's why i bought two New italeri intruders 😂

I am starting to like the Intruder and I definitely like your model of it.

![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
That looks spectacular! I really like the folded wings! And the painting with that careful weathering is beautifully done. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was 1:48.
8 August, 13:29
![](/profiles/img/108002-516-s.jpg)
This level of detail and paint quality in 1/72, Bravo. Hoping my 1/48 turns out this well.
8 August, 16:41
![](/profiles/img/125070-961-s.jpg)
There are a lot of amazing models here on Scalemates.com, but yours is exceptional! Little things like making sure the forward landing gear doors are correctly opened for the "cold" state of the jet, the hydraulic lines, etc., not to mention immaculate finish. At first glance I thought it was 1/48! I hope you compete this at a show, it's a winner for sure!

It might just be me but 1/72 and anything smaller than 1/72 (planes only) is just a toy but anything bigger feels like a true model you put your heart and soul into :/
9 August, 11:04
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
I agree with Spanjaard.
I previously only built 1/48 models. Now I've switched to mostly 1/72 because I find them more of a challenge to build and detail. I'm much more impressed with very detailed small scale builds than I am with larger scale models. Some of the 1/72 and smaller models I've seen on Scalemates are phenomena, not toy-like at all.
9 August, 14:23
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Depends on the quality of the build. A 1/32 plane smothered in thick acrylic paint can look a whole lot worse than a 1/72 Christian Bruer build.
9 August, 14:32
![](/profiles/img/144821-523-s.jpg)
True but just the size of 1/72 scale planes are the perfect size to hold in your hand and play with like a metal diecast plane. Plus with the quality that some builders put into their builds they do look and feels like pre builded planes.
