Made a little start with the WH-2. My fist 1/72 kit since I was a kid 🙂

The fit isn't perfect but for a Azur Frrom kit it's fantastic 😆

Fuselage needs some work. A bit of putty/sanding and rescribing

Nice before/after pic. The kit is in good hands!

Thanks David and Łukasz! Inspired by Roland Sachsenhofers B-10 so this one had to be build!

Directly from the publisher:

Thank you, Erik - ordered!
18 September 2021, 20:27
Erik Leijdens
Good to hear that Ben! The text is in Dutch but all the captions at the photo's are bilingual in Dutch and English

Starting to look like a Martin now, unfortunately for the WH-2 version you have to cut away the external light on the wing to make an internal light. No internal detail is included either so I will add some "little lenses" to make it look nicer

Hi Eric, not only are the captions English but there is a chapter by chapter summary in English in the back of the book. Thank you for showing me where to order it. So many pictures I've not seen before of ML-KNIL aircraft. Do you know of any reference for MLD aircraft that served in the East Indies?

Erik Leijdens
Great to see the book has arrived! It is definitely the Bible of ML-KNIL aircraft for modellers. Unfortunately, to my knowledge there is no book of the same quality for the MLD only. There is a predecessor of the ML-KNIL book which covers about all military aircraft of the Netherlands in terms of colours and markings. It is also largely by the same author. However, this one was already published in 1997 and has become a rare book, and if it is for sale somewhere it is for a lot of money. I got this back as Christmas gift in 1997 from my parents when I was a 16 year old 🙂

Also, Geromy publications has some nice books on MLD Catalinas, Mariners and the Fall of Java but those are more history books on the subject and does not discuss the colours etc.

Made the wings yellow with Gunze H329 FS13538

Hanno Kleinecke
Another yellowwimg in the making, yellow looks great !
26 October 2021, 09:20
Alec K
The yellow looks great. Is it straight over the base plastic?
26 October 2021, 11:49
Erik Leijdens
Thanks Hanno and Alec! No, I first applied a grey base coat, it is directly over that. Not ideal for yellow they say. I mixed it 1/1 with thinner and sprayed 7 thin layers, works fine for me.
26 October 2021, 12:29
Alec K
Looks great Erik. I think the multiple layers did the trick 👍

Puh. Some cliffs to steer away from. Good job on this shortrun kit. I always lay a white foundation when spraying yellow. Saves you a lit of color and makes the yelliw brighter. Looking forward to more progress.

I have this old picture of a line up of about forty B10 (Dutch) bombers just arrived in Java. Just don't know how to post it here.

Erik Leijdens
Thanks for the comments mates!! Next time I will use a white base!
Sprayed the true blue today, unfortunately the masking tape affected the yellow a bit.

Very nice build @Erik, following!

Now that looks like a nice canvas for your detailling and weathering.

An unusual subject. Looking good 👀👍

Thanks mates, so much fun to build this kit. Not really my scale but since it's not available as injection kit in 48th this have to do 🙂. And, in fact, I like it!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Very nice! A wonderful build, I look forward to seeing more pictures!

How did you do the panel lines? They are subtle enough to look real.

Nicely done, in those primairy colours, Erik.
And are you becomming a convert to 1/72 scale ? 🙂
10 November 2021, 20:13

Only if no decent 48th scale model is available Michael 🙂

Looking forward to seeing the final pics. These colours made me wonder why the Swedes haven't bought this plane 😉

Maybe blue was too pale 😉
