Thank you Michael, I appreciate it.

Holger Kranich
Wow Aghis, its wonderful! Very nice, the way you "bleached" the camo! Did you use aftermarket wheels? It looks a little bit like that. Very nice work, really!!! 🙂

Aghis Barberopoulos
Thank you Holger, I am pleased that you like it, especially since it was an old neighbour of yours. I used the Quickboost wheels and the Aires cockpit. For the weathering I used various lighter mixes of RLM 70 & 71 and oils. Glad you like it 🙂

Holger Kranich
I ordered a set of Aires-Wheels for my "Baby", the rest becomes OOB. Did you have problems with the front air-intake? It seems to me that i have to sand and fill there a lot...

Aghis Barberopoulos
Oh yes! Fill and sand and spray and then all over again... also covered the leading edge with thin aluminium foil. I will post some detail shots in couple of minutes, take a look...

Aghis Barberopoulos
Also the supercharger intake grill is not good at all, I made it from thin plastic strips (11 grilles I think) .

Holger Kranich
Still nice to get inspired, thank you, i will take a detailed look!

Holger Kranich
The prop! Wonderful weathering on the prop! I cant take my eyes from this photo! How did you do it? Hairspraymethod? Chipping with a pencil? Its no drybrush, or ?

Holger Kranich
Or sprayed first silver, then the colour and then chip the colour with a hobbyknife?

Aghis Barberopoulos
Kind of you Holger! Alclad aluminium sprayed on gloss black base, followed by RLM70. Then just scratch the paint off using a toothpick ar something similar and... voila! Alclad is quite resistant to abuse.

Holger Kranich
The next order at my modelstuffsupplier contents alclad at all! Its really the best metalcolour, i know! But i didnt knew that Alclad is that resistant to a rough modeler-behavior! 🙂

scalemates

Aghis Barberopoulos

mahyar bahrampoor

Jens
not my scale, but noble noble, I would be interested, what's better, Eduard or Trumpeter?

Holger Kranich
Definately Eduard! But there are some minor fittingproblems at the cowling. And the wingfit is even not so good...

Christian Lehmann
