Wow, nice try. I love it. And the kit is awesome as well... built one in winter scheme

Rui S
Beautifully done 👍

gorby
Nice work!

Djordje Nikolic Forfatter
Thank you Lorraine!

Djordje Nikolic Forfatter
Thank you Marcin! I agree, it is a great kit especially due to surface details and rivets, great for weathering. I'll check out your kit if you have it on scalemates

Djordje Nikolic Forfatter
Thank you Rui and Gorby!

Bohrmann
Beautiful captured bird of prey. very nice and original project

Djordje Nikolic Forfatter
Thank you Bohrmann!

Robert Podkoński
Great job!

FINALLY!!! THE GODS HAVE BLESSED US!!!

Jennifer Franklin
Oh, very nice, those pieces will fit!!!

"Removing seams from roadwheels the Jakko way." Thanks for the shout-out 🙂

Though TBH, I find it takes about as long as clamping the wheel in a vice and scraping the seam down — the lathe is less effort but not really a timesaver, IMHO. Could be that's down to my lack of lathing skills, though.

Ben M Forfatter
It took a long time but it's fun. Not every day I get to use a lathe.

Lorraine Lin
Wow! Tanks and cafe girls😁

Ben M Forfatter
As the kit is missing many parts, l will try 3d printing / scratchbuilding the missing parts. My resin printer isn't a very good one so it can be hard to get things to print correctly.

Jakko ‌
Quick tip: you don't need to take photos of your screen — press ⇧⌘4 instead 🙂

Ben M Forfatter
There is a lot of work to do to remove the supports. I did a quick and dirty pass on one side and it fits perfectly!

I scaled running gear and tracks from a 1:56 stl by 175% to get to 1:32 and it fits properly.

Ben M Forfatter
I got the tracks from here: cults3d.com/en/3d-mo..early-prod-july-1941

Jennifer Franklin
Very neat, love the 3D printing.

Ben M Forfatter
Jakko: Youtube Video

🙂 🙂 🙂

Ben M Forfatter
All missing parts 3d printed by upscaling from 1:56 to 1:32. Suspension and tracks won't be glued on til after painting. Same with radio antenna as I'll just break it off if I add it now.

Marcin Dudek
👀 Wathing

Rui S
I see you manage to do 3d printing 😮 lucky you. The tracks and bogies look wonderful 👍

Jennifer Franklin
Pretty soon, with 3D printing, the only limit will be our imagination.

Jakko ‌
That, and the time and effort you want to put into learning how to use the software and the printer … Both of which are what's kept me from wanting to do this myself 🙂

Ben M Forfatter
Got kind of an acceptable gloss pink outcome. Respect to the car builders I see on here who put down perfect gloss coats!

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Ben M Forfatter
Painting the one part track and suspension takes a lot. I have literally worn out one brush so far, scrubbing in all the nooks and crannies.

gorby
Pink tank! Got to follow this build. 😄

Spanjaard
truck? I am curious what you do with it

Rod -
Maybe there is some mold release still on the plastic. Instructions often say to wash parts. I never do and never have had trouble but I guess it's possible?.

Spanjaard
MS K did that already 😉 see picture 1

Rod -
Lol ok... so its not that.

Martin Oostrom
That's a bummer

Goldman
Strange. Never had such issue with Italeri truck panels before. Don't think it is ABS - try to glue some sprue bits with Tamiya Extra Thin. I don't think this glue will work on anything that is not styrene. Never used Gaia primer - only using Mr. Surfacer and Mr. Priming Surfacer. Is the Gaia primer lacquer or acrylic? Not sure if you have already did it but try to scuff the panels with Tamiya 3000 or 2000 grit sanding sponge (or similar) before priming. Another idea worth trying is to clean the panel with IPA - maybe the release agent Italeri used don't come off easily with just water and soap.

Alexander Grivonev
Truck with upgrade? I am so in...

MS K Forfatter
Oh no guys, this time it's just a straight build...
@Goldman - Yeah As you said, it doesn't seem to be ABS, and I sanded it and used a lacquer surfacer, but strangely the paint didn't stick. Washing with IPA is a good tip, thanks.

Bozzer
Late to the party! Apologies, work has taken over my life 🙁
I'm definitely in for the duration, on this one!

Bozzer
The paint is definitely your issue. Most of my trucks are painted with Tamiya paint. I've never had much luck with model air paint. AK doesn't work for me either. I find it best to use a primer, the lads have already pointed out the best, but I've also used Tamiya primer from a rattle can, as well as decanted. However, I've also used both Tamiya and Mr Colour, straight onto the plastic. Some colours over here, are hard to match, so I go to the automotive store and get the colour I want, and also the matching primer. Again, I decant these into a glass jar, and I leave the lid loose, to allow the gasses to fully disperse from the paint. After a day, I simply add a little cellulose thinner and then mix it up, and airbrush it.

Rui S
I'm in 😎

Goldman
Interesting pattern! Can wait to see it assembled

Goldman
Custom decals - that's new. Really nice design. Looks like a huge amount of work

Goldman
Great idea scribing the part numbers. I used a POSCA marker to write them (usually the last digit is enough) but it is too easy to erase the POSCA marks by just handling the parts.

Goldman
Bummer with the fuel tank. I think all metallic paints are hard to mask. Sometimes it works most times you get these (unwanted but very realistic) "chipping" effect.
For fuel tanks I gave up "proper" metallic and just use Mr. Hobby Silver C8. It is not a metallic paint but it looks very good and very durable. Got this tip from Jan Rosecky excellent book "The Complete Guide to Truck Modelling"

Michael Kohl
When you sand for gloss, don't you have difficulties that when sanding red areas in your instance, the dust ruins the white surfaces?

Andre Louis
I guess he used a top layer of clear gloss which was sanded and then polished. So, effectively the colors are protected by the clear coat

MS K Forfatter
@Andre - Yeah, that's correct. I had clear coated twice before sanding. 🙂
@Michael - And in that case, you can erase it by gently wiping it with a compound.

Michael Kohl
Ah. Thanks for the inside. I understood that you sanded the colors to prepare them for a clear coat. Hence my question. Now it's clear to me.

Bozzer
@Michael.
;) Clear to me! That made me chuckle, probably too much 🙂

Martin Grafeneder
Amazing Work 👍

bughunter
Very clean impressive work 👍

Goldman
Italeri do have this kinds of stupid random errors in its kits. Annoying, but since Italeri is the only company that still offers European plastic moulded kits of trucks I guess beggars can't be choosers.
I *think* that there is no clear decal film between the lettering for the tyres to improve appearance. It will be almost impossible to hide the clear film on the rubber tyres. Not sure that having separate letters is the best solution. If you want I think MBM sells PE templates to airbrush the words on tyres.

MS K Forfatter
@Goldman - I'm ok without it. I don't care anymore. hahaha!!! Thanks bro~ 😄

Spanjaard
if the decals are still in the sheet (misaligned but there) its easy to scan, convert to vectors, align, make masks in vinyl and try to paint them with mask 😉 and if decals are gone, well, MS K knows how to vector them, and has the cutter already available 😉

Spanjaard
i see your post now, problem solved 😄 😄

MS K Forfatter
@Spanjaard - I thought about making my own decals, but I was too lazy to change the toner to print white. LOL
And since the base color of the self-made decal shows through a lot, it is better to avoid attaching it on top of a dark color. 😉

Spanjaard
i did not say anything about making decals, but masking to airbrush the missing decals 😉

Bozzer
I'm loving what I'm seeing.
Honestly, my expectations were high, but you've done this "stock build" with the right amount of cheeky adaptations. It's not a clever, "this is what you do", it's more of a, "this is the correct way, to make it better"
And like all your other builds I've followed, the MS touch, is fully endorsed 🙂

Christian W
Super build so far! Attention and hopefully you can fix it: your licensplate at the front belongs to the rear. At the front you only have one round sticker after the letters UL (it's the city of Ulm in Baden Württemberg). The upper *round* sticker is from the TÜV (Technical Inspection Association), which means a road safety inspection. It's attached to the back.
If there were a hexagonal sticker (AU - emission test), the license plate would be for the front. But since 2010, hexagonal stickers have no longer been used.

MS K Forfatter
@Bozzer - Your compliments made me feel good. 😉
@Christian W - Really? I didn't know license plates had that kind of meaning.
I just picked a pretty one and stuck it on without thinking much about it.
I guess I'll have to change the front and back later or cover it with another decal, thanks for the clarification.

Ben M
Hi Mr. O. You add the models to your stash and mark them for sale. Buying/selling isn't a big focus of this site so things move faster on eBay.

Dave
That's patience. Nice work.

Carlos Wang Forfatter
你好啊。
麥田我買的是早期型H，那時候算是經濟又實惠吧。細節豐富，又有活履，就是開模瑣碎(Miniart：跟我比還早)，做起來容易煩躁。現在新品漲價了，就不知道如何。
活履要上色又能推推樂也是技術活啊

Zimmerit Forfatter
我有一套全内构的5055，麦田四号的活动悬挂是错误的，不应该是翘翘板的运作方式

Carlos Wang Forfatter
汗顏，這方面我不清楚。我當初做的那輛活履上色後就死掉了。XD

Zimmerit Forfatter
我买的是3D打印活动履带

Carlos Wang Forfatter
原來如此。我還沒有買過這類的配件....以前倒是給那些威龍的DS履帶脆化掉的虎式跟四號買了一堆麥田的活履來配....

Zimmerit Forfatter
我喜欢推推乐，把履带和负重轮改成活动的

Carlos Wang Forfatter
可以挑戰老田的舊模，還可RC化！

Zimmerit Forfatter
我有田宫的35381四歼，还想买个35335犀牛，大陆有卖改RC活动悬挂的

Mark Sherwood Forfatter
Cheers Gary, Gorby as I mentioned to Robert it could be painful and a meandering journey of bitter tears, but you are welcome. 🤘🥸🤟

Gary Curling
Its all practise,and a sign of a good modeler if they can turn a kit around,Good luck with it.

Mark Sherwood Forfatter
Cheers Gary, but you may see a phenomenon over at M'bro me turning 360 in frustration. 👍🤣🤘

John
She's looking good, Mark! 👍

Jakub Fiala
Hello Mark, it looks good to me 👍 The cockpit is really nice. Keep the good work going on! For example, on picture 11, i can´t find any imperfection 😄

Mark Sherwood Forfatter
Hi Jakub, I hold up my hands I copied/referenced the cockpit from your current excellent build of the aerial police car. I must admit too that Pic' 11 was one of my better projects 😜and the subsequent six that followed. 🥴👍🤣🤘🥸🤟😜

pic No. 6, the real a/c has this offset of the "centerline" at this part. Please check references.

Mark Sherwood Forfatter
Thanks neo for the pointer. But I'm building it O.O.B. And to be honest I really don't care, if it looks fairly like a 109 then it looks like a 109.

Mark Sherwood Forfatter

Nick Dragone
Nice start and I feel your pain. I just finished a Hasagawa/Dragon FW190 from 1992. At the time of purchase this was state of the art. I finished it and posted the results on my page if you care to look, but I couldn't wait for it to be done. It came very close to a life on the Shelf of Doom but escaped that fate. 😀

Mark Sherwood Forfatter
Thank you for the like Alberto. 🤟🥸🤘

Nick Dragone
😄😄agreed ! Eduard had great box art but nothing beats a Tamiya build. Beautiful work on this one. Can't wait until the final pictures.

gorby
Beautiful work!

Maciel Leandro Zang Forfatter
Thanks

Looks great. Is this one of those mini art kits?

Dave
Very nice looking truck.

Rui S
Nice work 👍

Mark K
Looks great!

Thomas Bischoff
I'm in - nice show 👍

Sergej I
Looking good 👍!

Rich K.
Awesome work! Learning a lot from your posts and looking forward to the final result!

CaptGPF Forfatter
Thank you everyone!

@Thomas! Looking forward so seeing your Douglas build!
@Sergej- your F-35 is looking good! I heard that was a bad kit, but didn't realize it till your post!
@Lorraine - Your builds are always amazing! Using a laser cutter to create your latest Spitfire is brilliant!
@Rich - looking forward to seeing another dual build with you and your wife!

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastic start Capt. 👍

CaptGPF Forfatter
Thank you Dietmar! I plan to have the maintenance hatches open on this puppy, but not as impressive as your cut-out Millenium Falcon!

CaptGPF Forfatter
Sloooooooow progress, the main painting is done, now onto the munitions!

Paul Moore
Will be watching eagerly!

Rui S
Looking Great 👍

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Sergej I
In photo 24, are you following a reference with the yellow de-icing surface? I thought they were only yellow on slats...

CaptGPF Forfatter
Thank you Paul for the notes on the A-6!

@Rui - watching you Mariupol build with interest!

@Villers - love your cars, and watching your Maharaja edition with great interest!

Hi Sergei - I referenced it from the paint schemes in the instructions and checked the photos on the internet - and most of them have the yellow de-icing on the leading edge of the wing roots. After taking a closer look, seems like I missed the tail! 😀. Will work on that as I start the weathering. 😀

Adam Gudynowski
Great

Desert Marlin
Looking very awesome!!!

David Taylor
Looking good.

Neil
Agreed! 👍

Paul Moore
CaptGPF,
The build is looking great. As a former A-6 pilot, the only time you'd have both sets of flaparons up and speed brakes out would be on landing roll out. Just so you know. And at times I adjust my builds just because I want to show some various capabilities that interest me. So I get it. But I thought you might be interested in that just in case you had something else in mind.
Paul

Alec K
Outstanding work 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
Whoah!!! 😮 Beautiful!!! 👌🏼

Sebastian Meyner
Great work mate! 👍

Doubtingmango
Really interesting camo scheme, the colors really pop, and the weathering is spot on. If I could achieve that effect on the underside of my aircraft I would display them upside down😂

Creature
Beautiful. What color is under the RLM81 and RLM82?

Holger Kranich
I like the way you take photos, mein Lieber. Pic 3 Looks freaking original!!! Really well done dio!

Kurt Reichert
Wow! Fantastic dio!

Slavo Hazucha
One pass to just take in the whole scene, then a careful study picture by picture - breaks like this make a dull working day much more attractive... Great stuff where the eye can see, my personal fav´s are the (obvious) teal windshield & side windows, but the rear lower section assembly is also just a joy to look at 👍 Pictures top notch as usual, top job all around!

Neuling Forfatter
Thank you mates for your appreciation! Slavo, I always like to read your precise analysis and Bachmann prize worthy lyrics. You and Holger really spend a lot of time watching and commenting scalemates builds.

Chris Greathouse
Great work and great recreation dio! So much to look at!

Herbert Tyszak
This is top of the Art, ach ich krieg das in Englisch nich so richtig hin, ich beuge mein Haupt in den Staub von deinem Dio.Von den Fahrzeugen in dem Licht und Winkel fotografiert kann man nichts hinzufügen, nur Bewundern, Tolle Sache das mit uns hier zu Teilen. Mach weiter so!

Andreas Koziol
Einfach nur gelungen! Die Fotos & Perspektiven sind mal wieder grandios! 👍

Slavo Hazucha
@Neuling - I just try to put credit where credit is due and give the models & builders who I think deserve it some proper attention😉 You build really good stuff & take it out into the plain natural light which I think is one of the more difficult setups to work with, and crank out top shots in terms of camera position, focus & shadow direction... I salute your work - what camera are you using btw?

Ingo F
Looks awesome mate! 👍 Had to look twice on picture 3 and 5. Looks like the real one. 👍
What figure did you use for the truck driver?

Thomas K.
Wow!!! Fantastic ! Really great 👍

Spanjaard
I agree with all the above, some of the pictures simply can be confused with reference pictures. The level of realism and the photography are simply perfect. You nailed it again Neuling!!!

Michael Hickey
Simply awesome.👍👍👍

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks a lot gentlemen! Ingo, the truck driver is a (German) driver of MiniArt "WW II Drivers". Slavo, I photograph with Panasonic DMC-FX01. Btw I recently had the opportunity to hear the Wiener Philhamoniker at Schönbrunn Castle in your beautiful hometown. Of course I also paid visit to the "Heeresgeschichtliches Museum" ("Krieg gehört ins Museum"😢. Very interesting exhibition on a high technical and didactic level, similar to the Bundeswehrmuseum in Dresden. Only disappointment was the Panzergarten: the vehicles were in a deplorable condition. The Panzerhalle was not accessible.

Slavo Hazucha
Ah, the HGM - struggling with it's own tank-collection... 🙂 - there are some unique Great War exhibits & a couple of really nice ship models I recall - You just made your trip before the overcrowded summer season, right move! Should you take a trip to Salzburg, don't forget to check the Red Bull Hangar 7!😉

Chris
Awesome work! And your pictures are great. Richtig geil.

Neuling Forfatter
Thank you Chris!

Amazing and authentic Dio with outstanding detailwork and colorwork... Your skills are just enviable 👍

Murad ÖZER
Neuling once again, stunning scenery mate, kudos 🙂

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks Daniel and Murad!

Nathan Dempsey
Wonderful work all around Neuling! Not to detract from all of the greatness of these builds but the digital camo on the uniforms translated quite nicely.

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks Nathan! Wish army tailors would more take into account modelers`needs.

Michal Hawryluk
Truly amazing. Great diorama and the best model photos I've ever seen.

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks Michal!

Jakub Krzysztofiak
That's a brilliant idea to take a photo with sunlight. Looks very natural.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Another most atmospheric dio, superbly executed.... I am delighted and deeply impressed!

Tom Ballhoff
I love your works! Perfect atmospheric

Bryn Crandell
Excellent diorama. The natural sunlight really makes it look like it natural environment.

Bob Hall
Neuling ! Your dio's get anymore real and amazing, your going to give me flashbacks of the Gulf ! Great Work as always my friend !

Zach Wilson
stellar

Scott Dutton
Beautifully done

Tim Heimer
I agree with all the statements! Wow

John Thomas
Nice work

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks mates! Bob I am honored that a gulf war veteran assesses my diorama scenery as realistic.

Xander Jansen
wow!! this looks real!!

Neuling Forfatter
Thank you Xander!

Paul Eden
Excellent model. The photography is superb.

Michael Kohl
Missed that one. Actually nothing to add. The praise of the mates is fully justified. Good ol drybrushing brings a lot to life. Would be nice to know if you used any aftermarket stuff.

Pietro De Angelis
Fantastic work Neuling, as always, stunning details and finiture,
some shots seem to portray a real scene,
congrats!

Mark Sherwood
Another one knocked out of the park. 🤘🥸🤟

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks a lot, mates! Much appreciated! - Michael, I do remember that a pimped the vehicles up a little, but I don´t remember whether it was out of the scrap box or aftermarket stuff.

Huma
Very impressive. Looks so realistic. Your pictures are very nice. The light is perfect. Congrats 👏

Gary Victory
Super cool dio...Looks almost real. Very very nice work Neuling.

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks a lot, Huma and Gary! Much appreciated!

Mathias Decommere
This is again realistic as hell! Amazing job on this one!

Dominik Weitzer
at some point, i was thinking you mixed real photos between your diorama. it is excellent! great work.

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks a lot, Mathias and Dominik! Much appreciated!

Chrisswe
This place is full of masters but your work is exceptional. I fully agree you are the Rembrandt of scale modeling!

Kesa Tiho
Very nice, love the painting. How'd you do the ground, did you use natural sand or something made for scale modeling?

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks a lot, Chrisswe and Kesa Tiho! - Kesa, I used "Busch Geländebaumörtel sandbraun", Vallejo paint "dark sand" and dry pigments desert color.

Randy Kriegel
Awesome 👏

Neuling Forfatter
Thanks a lot, Randy, also for the many kind likes!

CaptGPF
I need to stop looking at your albums! I think I spend more time looking through your albums than building kits! 😜

Bob Hall
@Cap . His stuff is so good, he gives me flashbacks of the war 🤔. 🤘😎🤘

Jorge Ferreira
Ó Ricardo achas mesmo que essas decals 3d têm bom aspecto ? Na foto não acho.

Spanjaard
those 3D decals look good, but the details in the original cockpit look just amazing!

Desert Marlin
The 3D decals seem like a mixed bag...

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
@Jorge, têm sim... o problema é que o cockpit tem o detalhes ainda mais definido, é mesmo lindo, o sacana...

@Spanjaard, the details in the cockpit are more crisp than the details on the decals... it breaks my heart! 🙁

@Desert Marlin, yup, quite. :\

Ben M
You might leave a comment on the 3d decal page so people know what they're getting in to.

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
@Ben, with GWH this is always the case, I had to do the same thing with my F-15 some years ago; Eduard has done it better, because they always have parts with details and parts that are flat, for this purpose

Cristian A
Grabbing a seat!

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
Welcome @Cristian

Ben M
Nice work on the line. I've never done that but definitely will give it a try sometime now that I see how well it works. I wonder if I dare use my non imbedding polishing compound or if I should get the hobby stuff.

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
Thanks; I only use the traditional Tamiya compounds, they work for me, so I'm not changing 🙂

Nathan Dempsey
I'm a bit late. Nice work so far Ricardo.

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
Hello Nathan; thank you, I delayed these builds a little during Christmas time and New Year, I hope I can pick up the pace now, again 🙂

Desert Marlin
Excellent work! Very crisp detail!

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
Hello Desert Marlin, welcome and thank you 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
Thanks, and welcome Guy

Jorge Ferreira
Ricardo. Esses grampos todos para colar o avião ? Isso é da Revell ou quê ? Mais essa carlinga com riscos por limpar........mais uma boa bo......sta de kit sim senhor. Louvo-te o trabalho mas por 20 paus compro o da revell 😁😁😁

Desert Marlin
That really is a lot of clamps! The canopy came out great! This mold line they put in the top of the glass seems to be pretty common for all the 4th generation fighter aircraft. You make it look great!

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
Caro @Jorge, the clamp is to hold the temporary canopy in place while the white glue sets, no biggie; the glass seam is a pain, but solved in 5 minutes of careful sanding and polish 🙂

Jorge Ferreira
Oh Ricardo não são esses grampos são os outros..... Ou montaste isso mal ou o kit é mau 😁😁😁😁

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
@Jorge, os outros foram para assegurar que encaixava tudo bem e apertadinho: os encaixes não são maus, mas também não são Tamiya!

Alexander
Very nice progress all around, looking forward to the digital camo! 👍

Desert Marlin
Shading is looking great!!!

Ricardo Reis Forfatter
Thank you mates, these colors are indeed very beautiful 🤩

The minicraft B24D model sprues said it was a B24 J model. On a clear sprue was the front part of the B24 D. Instructions show that you need to remove the front parts of each side of the fuselage and attach the new parts. So far so good

Dave
Very nice work on this interesting kit.

Rui S Forfatter
For future memory, since it will suffer weathering for the diorama.
Thx Danny_Aviation.

James C
Looks fantastic Rui. Will be a pity to dirty it up 👍

Mathias Decommere
You're brave Rui! Go for it

Alec K
Nice! So… you built this thing?? I am confused.

Michael Kohl
Nice. 4 pics are enough to sufficiently memorize it?! 😉

Rui S Forfatter
@ James C, thank you for your kind comment. It was born for the Dio so it will end up in it. But I must confess that your words pass my mind 🙂

@ Mathias thx mate, yap I definitely go for it, not sure about the results but that comes with every project, so...

@ Alec K, thx. No need for that. Yap, I built it. You can see the "build log"? in my Mariupol album.

@ Michael, thx, well, this are the photos of the exhibition hall side. The other sides are already a bit damaged for the Dio, so 4 will have to do. If I had a bit more detail in the lower part on this side before weathering, I may change the side ones.

@ Vagabond, glad you liked it. Coming from a professional it feels great. When I was a small boy I liked everything about firefighting trucks.

It will be a fun build. I want to experiment a bit with washes on this one, and try more streaking effects 🙂.

The weathering looks good. If you go into Albums than manage and look for Advance, you can rotate your pictures.

entophile Forfatter
Thanks for the kudos, and the advice on the photos! I will go in and rotate them now that I know how to do it.
