What a beauty!

Ben M
Don't prime? Not even with my beloved tamiya?

Michael Kohl
Hi Ben. The engravings of this kit are so delicate that they loose depth with the application of primer to such an extent that panellining becomes quite tricky. I would continue to prime models where this doesn't seem to be an issue but modern airliners or small scale models with such fine engravings I will try to do without. I suppose propper surface preparation and use of colors with more 'bite' than acrylics would be a good idea to avoid issues with paint adhesion.

Petar Žorić
Not priming a model with fine shallow lines is a great idea. I would guess if you use stronger lacquer based paints its not an issue. Will try this on my next model with fine lines! Awesome progress BTW looks really good!

Ben M
Tamiya makes "fine surface primer" I think for this application. I find it does not level as well as the regular product though.

Michael Kohl
Almost done. Now I have to adjust the shine. Even with the use of flat clear from Mr. Hobby the paint appears too shiny. Afraid to use AK Ultra Matt as this will be as matt as matt can be and thus maybe a bit too much. Then painting the radon and mounting the exhausts.

István Szücs
Nice ride mate, great color choice!

Guy Rump
The next aircraft for my WW2 collection will be a bit bigger than the other ones I have built so far this year. 🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start on the B-25 C with the cockpit area. Mainly used Vallejo Model Air US Light Green 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Franck G. 👍

Guy Rump
Bomb bay added for both sides. Cockpit etc added to fuselage on one side. Ballast added to hopefully not make it a tail sitter. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Pietro DA, airjuneau & 1 other mate. 👍

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Lukasz G. 👍

Guy Rump
Not much progress here, the front undercarriage was added and then further weights were added where I could in order to stop it being a tail sitter. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Andrew B, Dave F, Bernd G & 1 other mate. 👍

Main canopies and windows now attached and masked. Ready for primer! 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Alex. 👍

looks a lot different to the G4.

Daniel Klink
Just awesome work so far following👍

Andrea Brenco
Ciao Thomas and Moreno! Thanks for your appreciations!!!

Ben M
great tip with the markers.

Andrea Brenco
Thank you Bern!!! I am really happy you find it interesting!
To me it something that make me want to build more WWI lozenge camouflaged aircrafts!!!

Alec K
The tape effect is great Andrea 👍

Ben M
Did you use the markers with a straightedge? Or did you mask?

Andrea Brenco
I used with a flat and wide (4 mm.) plastic struts as a ruler, no mask
HTH

Ben M
Thank you!

For the moment she looks tenacious, like some steampunk creation 😉

Bas Tonn

David Taylor
Soooo jealous.HNY

Mark K
Beautiful and inspiring!

Spanjaard
Looking really good

Andrea Brenco
Bas, Moreno, David, Mark and Spanjaard thank you a lot! @ Robert: yes it is a very peculiar looking aircraft, like many other German projects of the time it reminds me of the "Wacky Races" contraptions!!!

Robert Podkoński
Wow! I have been convinced that actually she is bigger, but this comparison with Tamiya paint jar gives a sense. And a lot of rigging I see there. Chapeau bas, Andrea!

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastic rigging Andrea 👍

Andrea Brenco
Thank you Dietmar and Robert! Infact it is quite smaller compared to the previous Gotha bomber...

Mark
Mightily impressive modelling! 👍

Andrea Brenco
Thank you very much, Mark

Guy Rump
Very impressive modelling Andrea 👍

Skyhiker

Daniel Klink
Amazing Finish 👍

David Taylor
Fantastic.

Alex K
Wow!

Alec K
Excellent indeed 👍

Andrea Brenco
Thanks to all guys, you really make me blush !!! I wasn't expecting such a positive reaction!!!
In the next days I will try to take some better pictures and post them as I said.
If you want to build a WWI model I absolutely suggest to buy some of the beautiful GasPatch Model products, they are a real pleasure for the eyes and are so easy to use that you will not regret and will forget of every other similar products in different medium.
Today I gave a thoroughly clean to the desk and regain the room I have progressively lost in the last couple of years... Now ready for new adventures...
Many thanks again to everybody

Rui S
Excellent 👍

Nelson Paulo
Simply… Awsome! What a Job. Well Done.

Michael Kohl
Beautiful model of this unusual subject. The color combination looks very decent.

Andrea Brenco
Thank you very much Rui Nelson and Michael for your appreciation!

David Taylor
B@W shots look fantastic.

Andrea Brenco
Thanks David, I must admit that most of my builds are done trying to do that last B&W pic(s) looks more real as possible...

Pierre Pierre
just amazing

Łukasz Gliński
Beautiful, I'm always full of respect for people rigging these WWI ragplanes 😉

Andrea Brenco
Thanks Pierre and Lukasz! In the past I was frightened by rigging too, but when I discovered elastic thread it is not a problem, just a bit boring sometimes... 🙂

Pietro De Angelis
Fantastic work, congrats!

Andrea Brenco
Thanks a lot Pietro!

David Taylor
Lovely job,well done.

Michael Kohl
Impressive result that defys its scale.

Guy Rump
Interesting build, following! 👍

J35J
Thanks Guy, welcome to the project!

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat!

John
Cool subject! Looks like a lot of work/limited run kit.

J35J
Great Robert! Thanks for your intrest.
This time a limited run kit with all the usual fitting challenges. The plastic moulds are very thick & stiff so it actually feels more like building a resin kit.

J35J
Thanks John for your intrest. I can confirm that there is a lot of work with this one. 😅

Mr D
The exhaust looks very good 👍👍
Where do you get the metal parts??

J35J
Thanks Mr D, the metal parts actually came with the kit this time.
The kit is a limited run will both pro's and con's…😅

S M
Seems challenging kit. Taking a seat here 😄
