Neuling
Very good! Top paintwork, shading and weathering!

CaptGPF
Agree with Neuling! The color modulation used throughout the kit just draws the eyes to every part of the jet! ❤️❤️❤️

gorby
Thanks for taking the time to post the photos Thomas. It looks like it was an excellent show.

Thomas K.
No Problem; the Qualitiy of the Models was consistently high. a visit was not false 😉

Jan Peters
Some very nice models on display there 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing!

Neuling
Danke, Thomas! Wirst Du am kommenden Wochenende auch nach Ried kommen?

Thomas K.
Servus Neuling,
Ja, habe ich vor. Aber nur als Besucher 😉

Neuling
Ich auch, am Samstagnachmittag. Könnten wir uns am Stand von Nagorsnik treffen?

Weizenbrot
Thank you for sharing! Nice models and nice photos.

Thomas K.
@ Neuling: wir sind schon um 10:00 Uhr vor Ort; werden aber den ganzen Tag dort verbringen; wie erkenne ich den Stand?

Simon Nagorsnik ist Halle 18/Stand 58, siehe Pläne für Halle 17 und 18 hier: mbf-ried.at/

Neuling
Ich komme am Samstag um 15.00 Uhr in Halle 18 zum Stand 58 von Simon Nagorsnik.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Ähmm...wenn's nicht stört stelle ich mich dazu. Face to Face ist doch mal was anderes ,.... 🙂

Neuling
Super!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Das hat wohl leider nicht geklappt - war beim Jugendbasteln eingeteilt und hab die Zeit übersehen - - hoffe wir können das mal nachholen.

Neuling
Better luck next time, Juergen! 🙂

Don't prime? Not even with my beloved tamiya?

Michael Kohl
Hi Ben. The engravings of this kit are so delicate that they loose depth with the application of primer to such an extent that panellining becomes quite tricky. I would continue to prime models where this doesn't seem to be an issue but modern airliners or small scale models with such fine engravings I will try to do without. I suppose propper surface preparation and use of colors with more 'bite' than acrylics would be a good idea to avoid issues with paint adhesion.

Petar Žorić
Not priming a model with fine shallow lines is a great idea. I would guess if you use stronger lacquer based paints its not an issue. Will try this on my next model with fine lines! Awesome progress BTW looks really good!

Ben M
Tamiya makes "fine surface primer" I think for this application. I find it does not level as well as the regular product though.

Michael Kohl
Almost done. Now I have to adjust the shine. Even with the use of flat clear from Mr. Hobby the paint appears too shiny. Afraid to use AK Ultra Matt as this will be as matt as matt can be and thus maybe a bit too much. Then painting the radon and mounting the exhausts.

Michael Kohl
I was cheerfully positive to finish this bird today. But the gods of modelling had other plans. After removing the canopy masks I discovered an area where paint/varnish has crept under the edge and marred the inside. Shit. But I will live with it. Then I recalled that the seals of the canopy were still to be done. A quick freehand job seemed to be a sure road to regret and disappointment. So I was in for another round of masking. Painting will follow tomorrow- hopefully.

Patrick Hagelstein
What the…! How could I miss this??? Beautiful! 👍🏼

bughunter
Built in a week? Holy moly, great workl 👍
@Ben The finest Primer I know are the MRP ones. It is thinner than many paints! On plastic I still prefer Alclad with micro filler, but the MRP sticks better on resin.

Ben M
Thanks! I'll see next time I'm at the hobby shop if they have MRP stuff. I have always found tamiya primer to stick to anything but I don't like how the fine surface primer can pool and not level.

This phantom one thing I'm really enjoying are the striped metallic portions showing the ribs. It's very well done. And I see lots of great surface detail despite the Mr surfacer.

J35J
Excellent! Congrats👍🏻

Michael Kohl
Welcome mates, thanks for the nice feedback.
.
@Frank: no way I build something like this in a week. This has been on and off my workbench for a couple of months. Now with the final touches ongoing I summed up the process.

@Ben: being such a characteristic area of the Phantom I strifed to represent that striped portion of the tail as realistic as I was able too. I am happy with the result and of course happy too if others deem it well done too.

Michael Kohl
Note to self: cut the thin stripes first and paint them separately. When painting first and cut second the paint crackles, when only the carrier film is cut and the decals are painted then the decals are difficult to separate from the backing and from one another. Often the paint tears then - leaving uneven edges.

CaptGPF
Beautiful build! The gray panel lining does a great job of accentuating the details - as well as the numerous warning your have given us along the way. 😀

Mr D
Thanks Deserts Marlin..👋👍

Antoine Meylan
Magnifique Bravo!!
Comment as-tu fait pour avoir un aluminium si brillant? tu utilises un film autocollant?

jeff redbaron
merci, c 'est de l:alu ménager

Rui
That is a truly outstanding finish. I am very impressed with how you have captured the look of early jet era natural metal. I was also surprised that you used regular household aluminium foil; obviously the shiny side out. 👍

C'est vraiment une finition exceptionnelle. Je suis très impressionné par la façon dont tu as capturé l'aspect du métal naturel de l'ère des premiers jets. J'ai aussi été surpris que tu aies utilisé du simple papier aluminium ménager ; évidemment avec le côté brillant vers l'extérieur. 👍

Huma
Superbe rendu.
La technique est parfaitement maîtrisée.
Bravo

jeff redbaron
merci a tous 🙂

Alec K
Cheers friends! After the Neptune, I needed a palette cleanser build, so I reached for a long-neglected kit from SH I promised I would build too long ago. It's a OOB (well, 98%ish) and a lightning build by my standards. Hope you enjoy, it truly is an excellent kit.

Jakub Fiala
Ha, Alec and OOB project! Who would believe this 🙂
Very nice work so far, mate. I built a bigger sister of her ( Eduard bf 109E-7) and i remember, that put those parts of fuselage nose together is not a piece of cake.

Alec K
Čau Jakube, well not many, but as this is already done I can wouch for the veracity of my claim 😉
As to the kit: the nose assembly was indeed a bit of a puzzle, but very doable. I wonder how closely SH and Eduard cooperated on this, the kit feels very Edíkovskej. Overall, a joy to put together. Cheers!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Nice topic and really convincing progress Alec - taking a seat ☺️

Jakub Fiala
You are right, Alec. This kit is downsized Eduard.

Landlubber Mike
Nice start Alec - I laughed after seeing the title "palette cleanser" but no doubt for sanity you needed one after that amazing Neptune build. I had a similar need for a palette cleanser after my JRS-1 build, and that was nothing compared to your Neptune!

Moreno Baruffini
Super start! ...I laughed too ; reading the title 🙂

Alec K
Thanks guys! The comic relief is not my own (saw it put that way by someone), but it does exemplify the woes of someone afflicted with AMS. Mind you, the Neptune started as an OOB…

Transall NG
OOB doesn't exist, it's a fake... 🙂

Alec K
Haha, yes, mostly true 👍🙂

Rui S
Beautiful album to follow. Great work as always 👍

Alberto
Great result and very nice to include the explanation of each step 👍

Jakub Fiala
Nice progress Alec. The weathering made with those Tamiya sets looks cool.

Doubtingmango
Watching

Mr D
Thanks, Appreciate the interest, lm reality new to the hobby about 14 months, finding my way with techniques.
Weathering n panel lines need more learning.
The IAR-80 was decent price from HB and liked the paint scheme...bit different
👍👍

J35J
I'm in!

Mr D
Thanks J35.
Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
They said to paint interior charcoal black like on the FW-190.
But l checked n the Romanian lAR interior was grey/blue.
Engine building next 6 parts deal.
Cheers 😃👍

Miguel Vaquero
Looking good mate. Following!!

Mr D
Good to have you along Miguel, engine n wings next,
A small amount of the wing is seen through bottom of cockpit, the HB instructions didn't mention painting it first!!
But the fit of the model be ok so far.
👍👍

Robert Podkoński
Joining the party!

Mr D
Thanks Robert, good to have you on board 👋😀👍

Miguel Vaquero
Love the idea of filling with acrylic, never thought about it. Does it hold well though time?

Mr D
Hi, Yes lve used it alot and holds up really well , l find the fillers a bit messy and more trouble than it's worth on small gaps.
You do need to allow overnight drying with it for best sanding results.
😀👍

Doubtingmango
Brilliant! The putty really can create a mess with finely molded details

NLAWScametovisit
This is extremely clever!!!

Mr D
Yes it has a habit of filling in panel lines n bits not necessary!!
This technique is same as using alot of paint to fill a gap or high build primer ect...just becomes part of the paint layer as it acrylic too.
But it's not for big gaps!! As there is a bit of shrinking overnight.
Be onto marking rivets next step after sanding... Then need to make choices on open or closed canopy???

Kesa Tiho
If anyone dare look away from that then every romanian within a 20 km radius will undo all your progress like a bunch of wolves eating a sheep

Landlubber Mike
Looking really good Mr D!

Mr D
Thanks Mike 👋😀👍.
Ive got the canopy on now, HB do nice clear glass, so I'm having a closed cockpit,
So bit of masking to do there next.
Ive got X2 builds on the go at min.
All the best 👍👍

Miguel Vaquero
I got to get myself a chrome pen. The result on those details look awesome

Mr D
Thanks Miguel, the pen needs a good shake prior to use , if it awkward area you can pump some out n use brush...but work fast.
Best to put a clear over next day as it's bit delicate.

Alexander Perov
Do not forget that the mast of the antenna passes through the windshield and is very clearly visible. This model may come in handy in my albums

Mr D
Ok thanks Alexander, HB didnt make the Mast installation very clear, the show it just glued on the top, will be very weak!! I've seen one build and it's come away!!
I'm going to use steel rod.
👍👍

Guy Rump
Following with interest! 👍

Mr D
Thanks Guy.... good to have you around 😃👍

Miguel Vaquero
Looking amazing. That camo Is on point 👌👌

Mr D
Thanks Miguel 👍 the office-tak used to mask.
Will try panel lines n wash for first time on this one
😁👍👍

gorby
Looking excellent so far!

Mr D
Thanks Gorby 😁👍 Appreciate it.
Got the Flat Clear on now....look at some chipping next.

Mr D
Cheers Garry V👍👍

Trez
Smart kit, like the bubble canopy and cockpit is a little different. Assume they based this craft on the Fw190…

Mr D
Hi Trez 👋
Yes they were heavily influenced by German technology, the Germans wanted them to help support on the eastern front and protect the oilfields there.
It's a nice looking Aircraft, l liked the colour scheme and thought it be nice change n addition to my collection.
Canopy a nice easy mask.
😃👍

Zbynek Honzik
I must say, this project of yours is turning out very nicely, Mr D! I'm enjoying watching it! 👍🙋🏼‍♂️

Mr D
Thanks Zbynek😁👍
Great to have your interests, nearly there now, l can get started on the paint on my Beriev Be-6 soon.
👋👍

Mr D
Cheers Jose👋👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Looking forward to visit "Airpower24" tomorrow. This reminded me that I have taken some pictures the last weeks that did not yet find the way into the album. So here we go.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Little progress on this one.

Guy Rump
Following. 👍

Stefan Fraundorfer
I'm in Jürgen and will follow with interest.

Ekki
And me!

Joining the party

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hello everyone - thanks for your intereest. I must admit that this is not a very exiting build, but thanks for yor interest - will to the painting this weekend and I just checked the decal sheet,....uuuii, there are plenty tiny stickers to be placed.

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx for your likes mates,..I can report a little progress

Bas Tonn
can't wait for the final result

★ Starfish ★
Super Arbeit soweit! der Airpower19 Eurofighter ist nicht ganz so spannend wie die letzten beiden "Tiger" aber trotzdem nice to have 🙂

Skyhiker
I had trouble with the front landing gear on this kit breaking. I don't know if was just a fluke or if the mold is too thin. It may need reinforcement.

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Bas Tonn -welcome & I will do my best to finish it soon. 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Starfish -thx for your comment. I have the Nato Tiger from '22 on the bench as well. Eurofighter Typhoon - "Austrian Tigers" 7L*WC | Album by jott (1:72)
And you are right - the more colourful livery is way more interessting (application of decals 🙂 - but also to look at it when done). I will up-date the other Album soon.

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Skyhiker
I am building 2 of those revel kits in parallel - both front landing gears broke already right after taking it from the sprue.... so thx for your advice, I hope other mates receive this info to take precaution.

Raphael Bernecole
Very nice work 😉

Harry Eder
Nice job Juergen! 👍 I'm looking forward to see your Eurofighters live at Euromodell Ried!

Alec K
Late to the party but… looks great 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hallo Raphael, Harry & Alec - welcome and thx for leaving your comments. @Harry - I guess the 2 Typhoons will be ready just in time. Looking forward to meet you there.

Juergen Klinglhuber
So far so good - final pictures soon after the model show in Ried this coming week end.

★ Starfish ★
Super 👍

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Not sure which one I like more 👍

Harry Eder
Great job (on both)! 👍 I'm looking forward to see them live on saturday! 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Starfish, Guy and Lukasz. Thx Harry - see you tomorrow.

Alec K
Well done, have fun at the show 👍
