Welcome, Łukasz!

Robert Podkoński
Me 2!

Zbynek Honzik
Welcome, Robert!

Zbynek Honzik
After a long time I got into modelling and so managed to move a number of things forward. Now I have to let the putty cure properly on the transition between the pylon and the engine. And then the careful sanding and cleaning and final painting of the pylon and engine will begin.

Łukasz Gliński
Great to see you back on this one, the livery looks v.cool indeed.
And don't even think that Zvezda nacelles are much better 🙂

Spanjaard
wow it it is looking really good. I really like the windows, and the shades you added

Zbynek Honzik
Łukasz, I've got 373-800/700 waiting for me from Zvezda. And I'm looking forward to it. However, given my snail's pace, I don't know when their turn will come... 🐌🫣

Zbynek Honzik
Thank you, Spanjaard.

Łukasz Gliński
My both 800s are waiting as well 😄 Revell & Zvezda
Btw. How did you do such a nice pair of landing lights? I'm looking for ideas as decals are not available for all liners in 144th.

Michael Kohl
I am impressed by how clean and evenly you cut out the windows. Which material did you use to cover the windows before pouring the resin. I use regular Cello tape but the resin dissolves the glue and this sticks to the windows.

Zbynek Honzik
@Łukasz - I use either "little lenses" that I bought years ago at www.morellingtool.co.uk or nail glitter that I bought at a bead store.
I seal the headlight area first, then spray paint it matt black and glue the lights (glitter) in the appropriate places.
Then I sealed everything with transparent resin. After the resin hardened, I sanded everything to the shape of the leading edge of the wing and then polished.

Zbynek Honzik
@ Michael - I use an electrical tape that I bought on e-bay. I got a reference for it on YouTube here: Youtube Video
It's High Temperature Resistant Kapton Tape. The packaging says it is "Advanced Polymer Tape" and is characterized as "Clean Removal". And the adhesive doesn't really stick to the resin.

Łukasz Gliński
Velke diky Zbynku - I might use it on my next airliners 👍

Michael Kohl
Thanks Zbynek. I will try this. The Cello tape glue can be quite easily removed with IPA, but lazy as I am, I like the idea to omit that step.

Zbynek Honzik
You're welcome, mates!

Zbynek Honzik
So I moved forward a bit again and sanded and cleaned up the transition between the pylon and the engine.

Zbynek Honzik
In between letting the putty cure in the transition between the pylon and the engine, I started speculating how to improve the cockpit window frame.
In the end, Authentic Airliner Decals were used. I really like the way the authentic metallic finish looks on the decal, plus they depict the rivets and the thin black line showing the insulation between the glass and the frame. I had to cut the decal because the dimensions are a little different on the model, but I really like it. So I ordered another set. The windshield is wider, so one set was not enough for me.
On the photo you can see where the original frame is sprayed with Alclad and where the decal is.

Robert Podkoński
These window frames look perfect indeed.

Zbynek Honzik
Thanks, Robert!

gorby
Nice work so far. The colour and the flower motif really suit the vehicle.

Rui S
Looking Great, indeed 👍

Martin Oostrom
Gotta love a T2

bughunter
Again a wonderful build of a famous car 👍

Once again, a fantastic job !

This looks pretty good! Nice with all those flowers 🙂

Michael Kohl
I am in.

István Szücs
Another masterpiece is borning!

Bozzer
Sorry to chip in, MS, but this may help you in the future.
When you remove the chrome, there's a residue underneath. That's sometimes, the reason why there's imperfections in the chrome. The residue is some form of clear coat, that's used before the chrome? That can be removed by soaking in brake fluid, for a while. I've had this issue, mainly with Revell chrome, and it doesn't look great. Sometimes, there's a huge blob, and they just chrome over it. Quality control, needs a kick up the butt, at the factory.
Hope this helps you.

Spanjaard
looking really good

MS K
Oh, Thanks Bozzer. I'll try it next time. 🙂

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Robert Podkoński
I'm a little late, but from now I will be watching this talent show for sure 🙂

Matteo Pescarin
thanks a lot of sharing, now I'm intrigued... what printer do you have you can use a white toner with it???

Bruce Huxtable
Liking your 'no problem is insurmountable' attitude, and the results 🙂 Inspiring work for sure 🙂

MS K
@Matteo Pescarin - There are printers that can use white custom toner. However, it is not as opaque as the commercial decals, so it honestly falls below my expectations.
What I use is ghost white toner.
At first, I planned to buy an Alps printer, but I had no choice but to give up because it only supported Windows XP.

Spanjaard
I did not know about this ghost white, or is a pitty that just one cartridge seems to be about 300Eur, and if you say that the quality is not good enough......

Martin Oostrom
Exquisite guide MS K. You are a superb modeler.

Sy Bar
Can't wait for the bringing together of all your hard work 🍿👍

Ben M
Great work!

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful!

Michael Kohl
What a beauty.

Spanjaard
congratulations, it looks fantastic!!

Bruce Huxtable
Here here! Superb results from skillful work🙂

Oliver
Hey Mate, how much would be shipping to germany?

Christian Bruer
When I got a photo showing a Pz. I towing a Ju-87, possibly on an airfield in North Africa, I definetely want to build that scenery. The Pz. I is a mix of parts from S-Model Pz. I Ausf. A and B, the Ju-87 is Italeri. I bought some Quickboost add on parts which are designed to fit the Airfix kit, but with slightly modifications they although fit quite well the Italeri kit.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Rui S
I'm in 😎

Dave Flitton
Watching

Tom B.
That´s an interesting combination... watching for sure!

Christian Bruer
Thx to all for looking around 🙂

Nicolas
I'm watching too.

Alec K
I saw (likely) the same photo and also thought it would make a great dio. Glad it will materialize in your capable hands Christian 👍

Lukas Muller
follow 😄

Spanjaard
I am certainly following this one

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for looking around and leaving such kind comments 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss it

Christian Lehmann
Na, da bin ich mal gespannt auf das fertige Projekt 👍

Christian Bruer
Still enough place in the first row, welcome aboard Łukasz and Christian 🙂

Christian Bruer
Nearly there, just a few bits and pieces to add before I can start the paintwork.

I got the SSMODEL Pz.I tracks. So far as can be see still in their printing frame they are looking quite nice.

Happy Modelling
Christian

Tom B.
Looking neat so far! Where did you order those 3D parts from? Been curious about those for a while now...

Alec K
Excellent progress Christian 👍. And same question as Tom B.

Christian Bruer
Thank you Tom and Alec. SSMODEL only has a shop at AliExpress. I was a bit hesitant to order there, because there is a lot of rumor about piracy products over there. But once I did not found something similar I want to order from them I registered and ordered at AliExpress. Payment was easy via PayPal and delivery absolutely in time. I also ordered one of the SSMODEL vehicles, Marder III Sd.Kfz.139 SSMODEL 1:72 72725. The details are top notch, but the printing quality in between excellent and poor. The chassis, tracks and single parts are excellent, but the gun mount and gun shield are not so nice. The gun mount is warped and the gun shield has a lot of steps on the inner and outer side. It also differs from the instructions where gun mount and shield are shown as separate parts but it was delivered as a single part. That makes it even more complicated to solve the issues. But I think I will give it a try for another scale 1/72 kit in the future.

Here the link to the shop:

Transall NG
Very good work !
Thanks for informations.

Tom B.
Thanks for the reply, Christian 👍 It seems that their shop is one of the reliable outlets, then...nice!

Bernd Grün
It turns out very well, Christian. 👌 Looking with interest for the final result.

gorby
Looks like a very interesting project. Exceptionally good work so far!

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for your kind feedback 🙂

Meanwhile I have added a few more details like the steering gear and tilger for the flaps. I also painted and reworked the SSMODEL tracks. They need a slightly adjustment to fit well the the S-Model Pz.I. MOre photos sooon when I start the paintwork.

Happy Modelling, Christian

bughunter
_THAT_ one will be a master piece 👍

Christian Bruer
I try my very best bughunter 🙂

coporado
Great subject and promising builds!

Christian Bruer
Thx budd 🙂

Christian Bruer
WIP painting the Ju-87. Underside in RLM65 Hellblau is done as well as RLM70 Schwarzgrün. Depicting the references I have, the paint seems to have a weathered look, which I took in consideration by highlighting the basic paint.
Next will be the camo with RLM71 Dunkelgrün and a white band on the rear of the fuselage.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Christian Abraham
An interesting project

Moreno Baruffini
Super interesting! Well done!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Christian and Moreno🙂

WIP on my Ju-87 scenery. I rrplaced the First to Fight Pz.I by the one from S-Model but replaced the tracks by 3D printed ones from SSMODEL.
That will come together nicely with a nice contrast in between all of the colours, sand brown Pz.I and the Ju-87 with a standard camouflage in green.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Lukas Muller
Looks superb Chris 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you Lukas 🙂

There is a lot of masking needed to paint the Ju's splinter camouflage.
I did not masked and sprayed it in one loop, but step by step. For me it works much better in that way.
Only the rear fuselage and tail end is missing. So I have a plan for tomorrow 😁

Happy Modelling
Christian

Alec K
Nice progress Christian. I like your modulation and shading, looks great 👍

coporado
Fantastic paintjob!

Christian Bruer
