Hi!
Pacific88
0192 Aero Color Force(Cockpit blue green) 18 ml

Skyhiker
I looked up that color and didn't find it. The closest I could find is ... F-44 MIG emerald, Pacific88 Matt, Acrylic, 10ml

sc114
You can also use this paint, but it needs to be diluted, it is for the brush.

Looks great....well done 👍👍

sc114
Thanks!

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work. Definitely on my wish list.

DuperScale
Nice build, very clean. I Like it

Neuling
Clean and colorful build! 👍

Christian Bruer
Well that comes out pretty nice and smooth. Looking forward to another masterpiece following your Prinz Eugen🙂
Cheers, Christian

Ingmar Stöhr
Thanks Christian. Upper hull painted. All that masking worked very well. Very clean borders. Just some minor flaws in the area of the masker system. Managed to mask and airbrush the red circle around the turret as the kit does not provide any decals for it. So far I'm very happy with how the bow area looks. Next steps are the VERTREP markings on the bow and the other deck areas. The kit does provide the VERTREP and landing deck markings as decals but I'll try to airbrush them as well.

Bart Goesaert
nice work so far...

Gerald
Nice work 👍

Sven Schönyan
How could I miss the start of this???

Ingmar Stöhr
Thanks Gerald.
Sven, that is because I forgot to send you a PM 😉 Nice to have you on board.

Christian Bruer
Your yard workers are fast in painting a ship🙂
Convincing work so far!

By the way, deck markings are masked and painted or decals?

Ingmar Stöhr
🙂 still on holiday and motivation is high.
So far all markings you can see are masked & airbrushed. The kit only has the markings for the flight deck and the VERTREP on the bow. No "Danger Area" markings are provided! Instead Trumpeter decided to include some very tiny sings that belong somewhere... The decal for the VERTREP on the forecastle is wrong. The center line is solid, not dashed. So I had to paint those as well. And now that I'm at it, I will also airbrush the flight deck. But this time I painted everything white (actually very light gray). This makes the masking much easier 😉 I used that with the red circle around the gun turret. Must not forget the hull numbers! Prinz Eugen had none 😉

Greco Otero
I am to follow this !!.... watch and learn

Ingmar Stöhr
Progress in the last two days was somewhat slower. Managed to mask and paint the flight deck.

Christian Bruer
Clean and sharp masking on the flight deck Ingmar! Very well done!
Your Arleigh Burke inspired me to take a look to an old but cancelled project – Academy's OHP Frigate. I started this for a couple of years but put it aside because of to much extra work the kit requires because of some, let me say, not state of the art plastic part molding. There are a lot of les sharp edges and contours what I cut of and tried to replace, as well as some inaccuracies building one of the long hull boats. But the Pontos set and your nice work inspired me to take it back from stash🙂

Ingmar Stöhr
🙂 I also have that OHP from Academy plus the Pontos set in may stash. Those are nice ships!

Ingmar Stöhr
So after a short trip to a warm island somewhere south of India my vacations finally ended. And I have to say 10 hours at work does slow down the progress a lot. Plus I did some preparations for our Scalemates Meeting. But I managed to get some work done on the superstructure. The kit has great detail there. But hey, let's remove most of that and replace it with even better PE detail 😉 Opened all those air intakes an mounted superb looking PE parts over them. And I can tell you, this ship has an awful lot of those. Details mostly painted. Some touch ups to be done. I fear the next step has to be weathering the hull before I can start to mount all the small detail to the main deck. I'm a bit anxious not to ruin all the previous work by a failed weathering. Well, this will most likely have to wait till March, after our Scalemates Meeting.

Thomas Bischoff
it looks great!

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you mates! All the PE is After market. The kits PE is rather thick. The Tetra set has extremely fine detail and so far was great to work with and fits perfectly. Only the instructions are not that great. But with a little common sense and guesswork you figure out what belongs where.

Burkhard D
Great work and nice tutorial! 🙂

Scott Dutton
Beautiful work, I really appreciated your commentary on the painting. Ive just done a ship project and was very unsure on build and paint sequence, your masking has produced a sensational result. Congrats and thanks, beautiful photography by the way.

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you Scott! Nice to know, that all this writing is read by someone 😉

Holger Kranich
Ich bitte die Herrschaften schon im Vorfeld meine jetzige Ausdrucksweise zu entschuldigen:

Alter, wie geil ist das denn? Und warum, zur Hölle, habe ich das hier noch nicht gesehen?
Da scheint wohl jemand langsam auf den Geschmack von Salzwasser gekommen zu sein! Das sieht ja bis jetzt schon absolut klasse aus, Ingmar, aber man ist ja auch nichts anderes von dir gewohnt!😢

Ingmar Stöhr
:-D Thank you Holger! Nice to have you on board! Somehow it seems that I'm better in building ships than tanks. I stocked up my stash considerably with ships. At the moment I'm thinking about getting myself the new CV-67 JFK as birthday present. But I already have ships for the next 4-5 years in my stash.... so ok, I have AFVs for about 10 years.... so I still need to catch up on ships 😉 If only those kits where not that expensive (and big)!

Holger Kranich
Ahoi buddy!

Ingmar Stöhr
After a longer pause for the scalemates meeting, one F-16 and half a Jagdpanther later I'm finally back on my Arleigh Burke. Pictures show most of the progress of last weekend. Main mast detailed with lots of tiny PE parts. A lot of railings have to follow but first its up so some paint.

Bart Goesaert
nice job with the PE-parts... a really nice job...

Holger Kranich
I´m looking Forward to the first coat of paint! But ist sometimes sad to cover this marvelous pe Job with colour...😢

Thomas Mayer
I am amazed by this hyper-detailed fine work! Klasse, Ingmar!

Mike Kryza
Immer ein Genuß!!! 🙂

Ingmar Stöhr
There you go Holger 😉 Still a lot of PE railings and other details to add. Also noticed some mistakes. The Tetra PE set has stunning detail, but the instructions suck! Oh well, as long as I don't want to rip the whole mast apart I guess I have to live with it.

Acki
Alter Falter. Das wird mal wieder ein Superteil.

Christian Bruer
Very nice and inspiring, and Ingmar about any mistakes, I think you're the only one who knows😉

Ingmar Stöhr
Yes, that's true. But also I'm the person whom I have to spent most of the time with 😉

Christian Bruer
Yep and that makes it complicated - same with all ones on my models😉

Ingmar Stöhr
Hello Mates. Sorry for not posting any updates since March. Progress slowed down and I didn't feel like posting an update for every tiny piece I added. But finally she is finished. Please find some pictures of the finished model in the album. I also posted a lengthy build report on our website (in German). Hope you like it and thanks for watching!

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you James! I did not use any of the kits photo etch. It's all from the Tetra set linked in the Project here on scalemates. If really liked the PE, but the instructions are not always clear and are sometimes missing some numbers or placement info. But nothing you couldn't figure out.

Torben Ke
A very nice model with sharp detailling. Great job, Ingmar!

Gerald
👍

Christian Bruer
Hi Ingmar, congratulations, excellent work and finish 👍

Cheers, Christian

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you Torben, Gerald and Christian!

Patrick Hagelstein
I read the AMF article; impressive build!

Bart Goesaert
that's a nice piece you've built here... very impressive build... a real masterpiece...

Łukasz Gliński
Nice one

Sven Schönyan
Nice to see the final result! Very well done.

Roy McKenzie

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you all for your kind comments!

Acki
Truly amazing, Ingmar. I'm really impressed.

Holger Kranich
Ingmar at his best!

Ingmar Stöhr
Holger you are to kind! Thank you Acki!

Thomas Mayer
Wahnsinn! Du hast die ruhigen Hände eines Herzchirurgen!

Ingmar Stöhr
Danke 🙂 Bin aber ganz froh, dass ich damit nur Modelle bauen muss und keine Herzen operieren 😉

Mike Kryza
Und um deine Sehschärfe bist du auch zu beneiden... 🙂

Ingmar Stöhr
I hope I can keep it a bit longer!

Gary Victory
Really nice build with some fantastic detail. Thank you for sharing.

Sergey Kalinov
Great work! Congratulations!
