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 😉

Alexander Grivonev
"Chubaca's human brothers" Eddie won't be happy about this comparison 😄

Kesa Tiho

I built this one a few years ago, no where near this standard tho! Excellent work on Eddie & the cockpit👌👌
Watchin!

Edouard Carr
Thanks Munky, I wouldn't be so hard on yourself you did a bang up job on yours! Glad your enjoying the build and I hope the final outcome comes off like I hope!

Christoph Kunz
All those decals...
This is going to rock the stage. 👍

Munkyslut
Thanks Edouard!

Geert
Speed of light…

Mr D
Nice to see something unique 👍👍
How has the self made decals been ??

Edouard Carr
Hey Mr D

They have been easy to print and super quick to detach from the backing compared to official decals. Interesting to play with but a note to the wise, figure the decals you want and their placement as transparent decals will only be visible on light colours. See my body art for an example!

You then have the issue of how to get round this, which I have yet to decide the best method. Thinking maybe a top coat then a second run through the printer!

Both white and transparent paper are hard to adhere to bumps on the surface without creating bubbles, think this might be A: thickness B:my poor application (more likely 😅).

I need to find some junk kits to do some proper testing before I next use them on a project I think 🤔

Mr D
Thanks Edouard 👍👍
Good luck with it, sometimes double printing can off-set a little so make sure paper 100% straight.
😃👍

Edouard Carr
Know that for a fact, worked as a printers assistant for a time and adding gold elements required a method of double printing, was a nightmare 🤣

Łukasz Gliński

Romain Sablou
Picture 8 : I screw up riveting on the second wing. 😅 I was thinking that doubling the number of rivet lines was a good idea on this part of the wing, turned out it wasn't...
I used Tamiya Surfacer to cover everything and start again

Alberto
Very promising start, I'm in!

Fabien
Wow impressionnant. super beau boulot

Alec K
Thanks for the explanation. I thought maybe you were implementing some hight end stressed skin technique 🙂. Amazing work all around 👍

Great work so far, following

Gary Victory
A real pain doing the riveting but so satisfying once it's done. Lovely work Romain.

Romain Sablou
Thank you all for your interest ! This is my first attempt on riveting an all airplane, I wouldn't say it was painful, but rather a looong and sometime tiring job. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and the satisfation when highlighting the rivets with a black wash 👌

Jakub Fiala
Very nice work, so far. Riveting looks perfect 👍 I´ve just ordered a new release of Edugawa F/G Marauder, so i will look for some inspiration here.

Romain Sablou
Thanks ! Yes, this new release of the F/G version is great news for all Marauder fan 👌

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastic riveting job and also the wash 👍

my respect for somebody who can do a complete riveting of a plane... and you said it was your first? how, that looks truly amazing! beautiful cockpit too!

Romain Sablou
Thank you all ! Yes first time, pretty happy with the result. I received good advices from my French "Sensei" Julien Haccoun 🙏

Alex Rakhimgulov
Outstanding project!

Dave
Beautiful details, this is looking amazing

Robert Podkoński
Looks awesome already! Keep it up, Romain!

Gary Victory
Totally echo Roberts's comments. Awesome work so far on this build Romain.

Christoph Kunz
👍 👍 👍

skyfox22
wow that's amazing how on earth did you get the finish so good

Alec K
Outstanding work on those invasion stripes 👍

Romain Sablou
Many thanks everyone ! It means a lot during this time consuming project. The finish is acheived by cleaning and polishing the model prior to paint stage. Then by using well diluted paint for thin and smooth coats of paint.

Gary Victory
NMF finishes are more work, but so much more rewarding when done. Super metallics for me definitely the metals paints available.

Yury
Why haven't I seen this miracle before?! Magnificent, super! Fabuleux!

Jakub Fiala
Those worn invasion stripes look great! 👍

CaptGPF
Agree with Alex, the invasion stripes are sooowell done. Roman - how are the Mr Hobby metallics compared to the AK Xtreme metals?

Romain Sablou
Thanks mates 🙂
Mr. Hobby Super Metallic pros : much stronger during weathering steps. cons : dilution can be tricky, not much choices in shades.
AK pros : more variety of color , perfect pre dilution for airbrush, cons : very sensitive to solvant during weathering, high drying time.
