finished painting the AT gun crew today

Thomas Wirsching
Project finished😊👍

Kate Ward
Nice! What did you use for the grass?

Mathias Decommere
That grass is very convincing!

Thomas Wirsching
Thank you Kate and Mathias. That gras diorama piece was from dennisminiaturesdesign.de/shop/diorama/ a german producer of 3d printed figures and some other stuff. I´ve bought it from Modellbau König in Germany. I am not sure if they still carry it. I was not overly impressed as I had to cut quite substantial parts of the corners because the grass was applied irregularly there and looked ugly. I got a discount for that by the dealer and kept it for a while didn´t knew what to do with it until I decided for this diorama.. For this small scenario it did fit perfectly 😊

Guy Rump
Great dio, figures are excellent! 👍

Doubtingmango
The grass certainly looks great after you finished with it, and those figures are stunning!

Neuling
Very good diorama and photography. A realistic and dynamic scene.

I got the Mod 11 Block 1B version of this kit because I found it on sale for a good price. What I didn't know (until I started building it) is that this kit is basically RPG's MK -15 Phalanx CIWS kit plus the different parts needed to build the Mod 11 Block 1B version. I wasn't paying close enough attention to the instructions when I started building, and ended up assembling the tracking radar enclosure using a panel for the standard MK-15, and I didn't catch the error until after the glue had set. While trying to figure out what to do, I discovered that this kit had all the parts to build the standard version, so I downloaded the instructions from Scalemates, and happily continued building the standard MK-15 . . . until I got to the barrel assembly. I had to drill out the barrel support blocks with much larger drills than indicated in the instructions, and then when I test fit the barrel assembly to the gun mechanism, I discovered that the barrels were about 7 or 8 mm too short. The Mod 11 Block 1B uses a shorter barrel. I eventually solved the problem by affixing a piece of brass tube to the gun mechanism to lengthen the socket that accepts the end of the barrel assembly. Once painted and assembled, the fix shouldn't be too obvious.

Desert Marlin
Hate when that happens!!!

Ben M
Great build!

Neuling
All´s well that ends well! 👍

Gary Victory
Really nice build and finish Oliver. Would like to see more pictures if possible..? Wonderful work Sir.

Neuling
Same as Gary!

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic job on this demanding kit. Chapeau bas!

BAT21
Thanks for your nice feedback 👍

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
Excellent work. And mine has been standing unpainted for several years. Only in the Mi-10PP version with a container of electronic interference.

BAT21
Yes, the Mi-10PP is still on my to-do list.

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Tibor Szilvai
Excellent! 👍

J35J
Impressive work! Congrats👍🏻

BAT21
Many thanks.

Neuling
Clean and careful work on this interesting helicopter. Very appealing paintwork!

Christoph Kunz
Taking a seat.

Villiers de Vos
Taking a seat as well. I have both these models in my stash.

Edouard Carr
Hey Villiers/Christoph - hope you enjoy the build and thanks for watching the progress. Thinking about a custom paint job on the second spitfire with reference to the album power slave of which Aces High is from. Have some home print decal sheets that I have been meaning to use for years so might try testing them out. Revell have been kind enough to send a second Eddie Sprue so will have him seated in both planes when completed.

Mr D
Brilliant 👍👍
Great project, Pilots looking menacing 💀💀
Enjoy

Edouard Carr
Cheers Mr D 😉

Jan Peters
Love the maiden song, and will be following this 👀

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Edouard Carr
Thanks Jan/Villiers hope you like to outcome!

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Sean
Up the Irons! I gotta get started on my kit one of these days... Lookin' good so far!

Christoph Kunz
looking good 👍

Edouard Carr
Cheers guys will soon be trying to figure out how to make custom decals using paper I bought yonks ago! Any tips and tricks would be appreciated 😉

Neuling
Very well done!

Cockpit detailing finished and primed/RLM66
Started riveting with the new tool I bought at EME in Lingen

AndreasK
Ok, riveting is time-consuming but also relaxing. I gave the wing a wash to check the result. Looking good so far. I just hope that it will be still visible after paint job

DerMattes
Looks really good!

Tony Tonov
Very nice, taking a seat 👍

Alec K
Impressive cockpit, following 👍

CaptGPF
Obscene level of detailing at such a scale - Definitely following!

Skyhiker
Looks good so far. The wires are a nice touch.

Łukasz Gliński
Wow, what a cockpit!

J35J
Great progress!👍🏻

AndreasK
Made some progress on the small E381 fighter to be carried by the 234.

AndreasK
Finished the E381. Just some light panel line wash, no chipping or fading, as this was more or less a one-time flyer...

AndreasK
Today I began the painting process for the 234. Sprayed RLM66 on the canopy and also used this for preshading of the upperside. Preshading of the underside was done with Intermediate Blue. I tried these colours instead of the usual black to obtain less contrast to the base coats and make it blend better. Hopefully...

Alec K
Very nice progress 👍

AndreasK
3 hours of masking the splinter camo. I hope I did not forget anything 😱

AndreasK
With the engine outlets and canopy frames done, painting comes to an end. Especially the latter was very tedious in terms of masking. But I am satisfied with the result 😃

AndreasK
Decals are on. Next step panel line wash to bring out all the rivets I made.

Alexander Grivonev
Geiles Ding, will den auch bauen👍 Great cockpit detailing!

AndreasK
I finished this model 🥳

Alec K
Very well done, congrats 👍

Skyhiker
Looks good. Nice one for your collection.

Łukasz Gliński
The finish is as excellent as the cockpit 👍

J35J
Looking great! 👍🏻

Nicolas
Congrats, the Arado looks great. 👍

CaptGPF
That camo work is wicked! Love it!

Jan Peters
Beautiful work! 👏🏻👏🏻

Guy Rump
Lovely job! 👍

William Joel
Very nice. Amazing detail on the cockpit, looks impressive.
I have 2 old Ar 234 in progress, but the cockpits, or should I say lack of, that came with the kit just don't compare. I did a bit of scratch building, but just so something could be seen.
Question - what size wire did you use for the cockpit?

ΔΠ
Very beautiful model! I really like it, especially the riveting and the cockpit. Did you treat the cockpit windows in any way, or are they straight out of the box? That would surprise me with Revell, to be honest 😉

AndreasK
The canopy had some scratches, so I sanded and polished it a bit.

@William: it is copper wire, but I do not know the size. I will measure it and get back to you.

@all: thanks for the nice comments ❤️

Jakub Fiala
Very nice!

Neuling
Interesting and well done!

Mr James
That is one impressive paint job. Excellent skills shown with an airbrush 🙂

Bernd Grün
Schönes Modell, Simon! Exzellente Lackierung, Glückwunsch! 👌👌

Pipeman86
Hey Simon, richtig richtig gut!! Vor allem auch die Grundierung nach dem Verschleifen (Bild 1). Mega!!!

gasolier
Cool scheme! Well done

John Thomas
Very nice

Simon
Thank you very much guys!!

Vielen Dank Bernd und Chris!! Als nächstes werden die Markierungen auf den Seitenleitwerken und den Tragflächen gesprayt!! 🙂

Ben M
fun project. you should paint a giraffe next 🙂

Simon
Yes, certain similarities in the camouflage pattern cannot be denied. 🙂 It wasn't really the intention, it was supposed to be a mix of larger and smaller patches. But I still like it now. 🙂

Ben M
It looks really remarkable. You have constant density for all the patches. Skills!

Simon
Thanks Ben! 🙂

Alberto
Cool camo, nice paint job 👍

Simon
Thank you Alberto 🙂 Now i have to repaint the engines/intakes/nozzles.

Jan Peters
Beautiful camouflage pattern you have painted here!

Simon
Thank you very much!! 🙂 That pushes me to go on with the repainting of the intake / nozzle part! 🙂

Vincent
Great scheme. This looks great!!!

Simon
Thank you Vincent! 🙂

Skyhiker
I love this kit, it was one of my favorite to build. You have done a masterful job on that camo. Looks great.

HSC1932
This is the best Arado 555 I've seen, and I've seen many. What paint did you use to achieve that excellent finish?

Simon
Many thanks to you both! I'm really pleased that you like the paintwork! The project has already taken a lot of time so far. At first I thought it would be a quick job, but in the end the sanding, re-engraving and the countless thin layers of paint have taken a lot of time. Probably also because I watch series on the side 🙂

@HSC1932: I now only use Vallejo colours, mostly the Model Air colours if available. I also thin them a lot now: 4:2:3 (Flow Improver : Thinner : Paint). For the two main colours I used Vallejo MA 71.257 Light Blue RLM76 and MA 71.259 Grey Violet RLM75.

Hans-Jürgen Haag
👍👍Sieht heiß aus das Teil, besonders die Camouflage, hast du da ein Netz drüber gelegt und drüber gesprüht?

Simon
Moin Hans-Jürgen! Vielen Dank!! Ne, das habe ich mit ganz wenig Druck, geringem Abstand und der Politik der ruhigen Hand gemacht! 😉

Michael Kohl
Top paint job.

Simon
Vielen Dank Michael!!

CaptGPF
One word - AMAZING!

Simon
Thank you very much CaptGPF!!! 🙂

Secretary at ESSMC
Love the paint job - looks "submarine"
Great kit - see mine from a few years ago..SCM Search: roger trewenack arado*
I'll keep watching your work!

Simon
Thanks Mr. Secretary! 😅 Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like a ray. A ray with giraffe skin. 😁 Your Arado looks great too! What an idea with the camouflage. 👍🏼

Ben M
A girayffe if you will.

Simon
They are incredibly good at snorkelling! 🤣

Gerald

Guy Rump
Looking good, like the different camo. 👍
