...and glued
Resin-Wheels flat ground
The tail-wheel is a little bigger than the wheel from the kit
Ready to paint.
On the right in the middle of the rear fuselage you can see the two 3d-printed antennas.
Some color tests. The very light blue is difficult to mix.
On every picture it looks different.
Time for the Logo! 😄
3D printet parts
Logo ready. 😉
Painting the blue.
Done.
Will be overpainted later on.
Don't use Humbrol Clear over Gunze...
Masking the Markings.
Done.
Masking for the first green.

Also don't use Humbrol Mask and Uhu-Pattafix on Gunze...

Use stirring rods to determine the length of the struts
From brass tubes and copper foil soldered the connectors
Each strut has a different length. I have built crooked 😉
The resinwheel does not fit in the fork
Made a new one
Use „Depron“ for the base, coatet with grey 400 sandpaper
New paint job needed, bath in „Dowanol“
Paintet with different colours
Asphalt patches
Washable agent keeps paint water soluble. An alternative to hairspray
Washes and pigments bring the patches to life
Little green in the edge
...MÄÄÄÄH! 😄
Chaos! 😉
Frame was 3d-printed in parts, sanded and painted
Damp spots were created with varnish and vallejo still water
Masks were cut with a plotter
For lack of an alternative, I had to take a old lousy softplastic figure from Preiser
From another I took the arm and carved a Frankenstein
Fixed with wachs
Arm and hip were reconstructed with Magic sculp
Try to improve the hand
New hair I formed from Green Stuff
Boots from Green Stuff
Latchets from long drawn styrene from the kit
Yeah, paint! 😉

Uiuiui, einige meiner Lieblingsbastler hier sind an Bord. Nerve behale! 😉
Ne Bernd, die sind gedruckt (Bild 26).
Nothing happened for a long time. I was busy with a small astronaut for the Massive Voodoo competition.

But the AN is ready for painting and I made the logo 😉

Also, warning: Afaik, I have finally arrived at my conclusion that, if you add too much Humbrol clear, the gloss coat will start to crack. I think it should be safer with a single (!) thin layer (airbrushed once not twice). Or possibly several thin layers that have long drying times.
I have also noticed, that if I have already a smooth surface after airbrushing on Vallejo primer (sifting the primer paint with a tea thingy to avoid clogging), the gloss coat lays on very nicely even if very thin, but ofc one doesn't get the piano laquer look that way. Unsure if this thin layer is enough for adding decals, as I usually add even more gloss coat liquid with the airbrush. Next time I will experiment and try add as little as possible, with a single layer of thin gloss coat with Humbrol Clear.

Эрик, потрясающе. Возьму на вооружение некоторые твои идеи, начну такой собирать на днях. Собирал АН-2М. Посмотри пожалуйста 1/48 АНТОНОВ HobbyBoss AN-2M COLT | Album by Nikolay (1:48)

Спасибо, Николай! Она закончила, теперь я работаю над летным полем и фигурой.
Твоя тоже выглядит отлично. Повеселитесь с новым проектом.

So in some kind of a time/space loop, you photographed your model in front of some buildings and then used the photograph as a template for the model?😉

oh my....it's really awesome. Very impressive work. I was especially impressed by the fans in the cockpit, without them not a single Soviet plane could take off =)

Awesome job!
About the fans, they are the ones generating the thrust, the engines are just decoration 😄
