E.II Eindecker (WIP)
Oil for shadows
Oil for woodgrain
Some transparent Tamiya colors on top, to finish the wood
Details with acrylics
All sub-assemblies ready and varnished with MRP Matt Varnish MRP-127
The fit of the PE on the sidewalls will not work - I had to trim some plastic and glue them reversed... I hope no one will notice
Ready to close, you can see the bits of plastic I had to cut to fit the lateral PE from Eduard set
Closing - the PE inside the side walls take some precious space...
Glued the side metallic parts and some test fitting
There are little pins at the back of the wing roots that don't fit anywhere; I've seen models that have a little holes in the fuselage to match the pins...
The mentioned pins
The pins prevent the wings to fully conform to the fuselage
Oooops! Wrong test fit... all ok now.
Darker propeller, using A.MIG 3512 Dark Brown Oilbrusher
Small scratch for the cockpit
Glueing the tiny PE parts from Eduard set
Masking for preshading
First layer of paint, too clear, should not have used the bleached color
Buying new paint, I'm in a hurry can not wait for the MRP paint to arrive
AK paint applied
Glueing the wing - very fragile joint on the left wing
X-22 varnish applied
Decalling
The fit of the fuselage bands is terrible!!! 🙁
A little additional shading using XF-9
Stripes corrected and Ammo silver oil stippled with a sponge over the base AK Gun Metal - no contrast 🙁
Detail of the silver stippling over gun metal on the cowling
Figure to small or plane to big??? 🙁
Adding details...
Oil - Ammo A.MIG 3514 Earth
Starting to paint the figure
Preparing the base
Rigging
Almost finished
Test with the base, figure too small?...

Yes. Most of the first part of the build is PE and ciano glue. :-/

1/72????? No way. Somebody may say that these detail correspond to 1/24. Excellent build so far.

I believe the figure is too small... or the model is too big... the proportions seem wrong. I think I'll have to drop the figure, after all the work painting it...

Thank you. I've added a separate album with the finished model and base. I kept the pilot. 🙂
