Picture 8 : I screw up riveting on the second wing. 😅 I was thinking that doubling the number of rivet lines was a good idea on this part of the wing, turned out it wasn't...
I used Tamiya Surfacer to cover everything and start again

Thanks for the explanation. I thought maybe you were implementing some hight end stressed skin technique 🙂. Amazing work all around 👍

A real pain doing the riveting but so satisfying once it's done. Lovely work Romain.

Thank you all for your interest ! This is my first attempt on riveting an all airplane, I wouldn't say it was painful, but rather a looong and sometime tiring job. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and the satisfation when highlighting the rivets with a black wash 👌

Very nice work, so far. Riveting looks perfect 👍 I´ve just ordered a new release of Edugawa F/G Marauder, so i will look for some inspiration here.

Many thanks everyone ! It means a lot during this time consuming project. The finish is acheived by cleaning and polishing the model prior to paint stage. Then by using well diluted paint for thin and smooth coats of paint.

NMF finishes are more work, but so much more rewarding when done. Super metallics for me definitely the metals paints available.

Agree with Alex, the invasion stripes are sooowell done. Roman - how are the Mr Hobby metallics compared to the AK Xtreme metals?

Thanks mates 🙂
Mr. Hobby Super Metallic pros : much stronger during weathering steps. cons : dilution can be tricky, not much choices in shades.
AK pros : more variety of color , perfect pre dilution for airbrush, cons : very sensitive to solvant during weathering, high drying time.

Awesome work. The rivets alone enliven the model immensely and then the great paintwork and conclusive weathering. Very very beauftiful B-26 so far. 👍

@Clement, and I lack words to thank you all for your support on this long term project. Thanks again everyone ! 🙏
@Sven, I don't use any solvent, you can manipulate the ink fresh out of the pen. But if you still want to dilute or erase something, you can simply use tap water !

Incredible! I really like the weathering. This is always the best part. You can see how the model comes alive.

Phenomenal detailing. I can only hope to get this good years from now. Especially love all the chipping and weathering added that gives it a whole new level of realism.

Cables are made with "hyper thin rigging" from AK (AKI-9135) , insulators are made with PVA glue diluted with a drop of water and a small brush

Incredible details, watching the rigging with envy, still don't know how you mount it so clean, must be my eyesight or sth. 👍
