Wine, Women & Song - WIP

David Januska
I've started a new project, lovely Eduards Marauder. Several pictures of the cockpit from the begining before all be hidden🙁.

Andy Ball
Nice start David. I was too slow to nab one of these, so will watch with jealousy!

David Januska
@Andy if you want, I can try to find some spare here in Czech Republic. For example here is one mn-modelar.cz/1-72-wine-women-song/, it is in store and costs less than 40EUR.

David Januska
Added som pictures of empty bomb bay. It fits really well. Going to add some PEs to the fuselage and slightly moving to fuselage completition.

David Januska
Some more pictures of fuselage and wings completion.

Aleš Štika
Moc pěkná práce 🙂

David Januska
@Aleši, díky. Poprvé jsem vyzkoušel ty muniční pásy a docela to vyšlo. Teda hlavně z dálky to jakž takž vypadá🙂.

Aleš Štika
Jo vypadají opravdu moc pěkně. Těším se na dokončení. Bude to pěkný kousek 🙂

Andy Ball
great work David....tell me, how have you weighted the nose?

Daniel Klink
Great start david, count me in 👍

David Januska
@Andy, you can see it on the title image (I think it is number 14). I've placed great amount of small 2g weight between bomb bay and cockpit, closer to cockpit and I fixed it with Uschi Flexible Nose Weight (item 4011). It is that black mass behind cockpit.

Stefan Schacht
very nice so far, count me in

Dave Flitton
Looking real good! Keep on going

David Januska
Thank you guys, but the worst phase is coming. I'm not good in airbrush🙁. I've ruined many kits at the end.

Andy Ball
great brassin engines too!, hopefully if you're doing the usual olive drab over grey...the airbrush should be reasonable. Perhaps some preshading will weather-up the colours....and most USAAF's were pretty amenable to a spot of English climate and European combat scuffs.

David Januska
Thank you mates. And Andy I appreciate your useful tips. Just finished my first preshading😉, I'll post some pictures during weekend.

David Januska
So after several hours of masking I´ve started painting.

David Januska
Some new photos, cammo is ready and it stands on its own wheels. Hurah it is not tails sitter but it was close 😉.

David Januska
So, for now it is done.

Andy Ball
Congratulations! Mission complete! "You've 'ad it!"

David Januska
Thank you Andy, good point 😉.

Aleš Štika
Krásná práce Davide 🙂

David Januska
Aleši, díky. V tom barvení mám ještě pořád co zlepšovat, ale vyšlo to nakonec asi lépe než jsem čekal.

Ludvík Kružík
I like your model 🙂
Only he who does nothing, spoils nothing. The next model will definitely be even better.

Guy Rump
Great job David, don't know how I missed this. 👍

David Januska
Thank you mates, @Ludvík, I am not satisfied with high edges on between colours, my fault during spraying. I've cutted the shapes from masking tape right on the kit and have used to much of colors. More practice needed.

Ludvík Kružík
Different rules apply when working with a spray gun than when painting with a brush. There is, of course, a lot of advice in the literature and on the internet. But the best is your own experience. After switching from brush painting to spray gun painting, I made the same mistakes.
