Nice work so far.

Martin Oostrom
I agree

Bozzer
Your masking has definitely improved, mate. Nice job!

nikfrost
Thanks Bozzer! I think I'm getting the hang of this gloss finish also...hopefully.

Mr D
Nice 👍 very nice, the cast texture on the engine looks good, it's the prv V6 is it ?
I had an RC version as a kid .
Will look fantastic when the decals go on.
👌

nikfrost
The cast texture is Tamiya flat aluminium XF-16 very poorly sprayed by me haha, I think it was drying on its way from the airbrush to the surface and kind of built up.

Mr D
Worked well to the effect 👍 Tamiya dries really fast , l use Velejo mostly, l found Tamiya to fast n thickens up in the pot, Velejo doesn't harden like Tamiya n definitely needs good clear coat.
Nice project 👍

Guy Rump
The next aircraft for my WW2 collection will be a bit bigger than the other ones I have built so far this year. 🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start on the B-25 C with the cockpit area. Mainly used Vallejo Model Air US Light Green 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Franck G. 👍

Guy Rump
Bomb bay added for both sides. Cockpit etc added to fuselage on one side. Ballast added to hopefully not make it a tail sitter. 🙂

Guy Rump
Engines now attached to the wings and the rear undercarriage. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Lukasz G. 👍

Guy Rump
Not much progress here, the front undercarriage was added and then further weights were added where I could in order to stop it being a tail sitter. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Andrew B, Dave F, Bernd G & 1 other mate. 👍

Villiers de Vos

Mr D
Looking good, nice strong bold colours 👍👍 coming along well.

jan zumack
Thanks Mr D

Mr D
Do you mind if l ask what white paint you use??
I use Velejo for most my builds been good....but the white is poor in pigment!! I got recommend AK White.....and it is loads better but bit thick.
Like what you achieved so far 👌👍

jan zumack
Good question, i use Tamiya colors for the most projects. The White color ist named X2. I thinn it with Isopropanol.
Hope i could help you.

Mr D
Yes, good help as l didn't know the Tamiya paint could be thinned with isopropanol. I have few pots that have thickened up bit to much.
So will get some in.
Thanks 👍👍

jan zumack
You could Not all colors thin with Isopropanol, but the most. All glittering colors have to dry more than 24hours and use some gloves. If you didnt do it, you got fingerprints on your kit. I learn that the hard way. 😅

Dave
Looks great, nice job.

Mr D
Great 😃👍 pulled it of good well done 😀

Guy Rump
My latest offering will be my first helicopter. 🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start on the cockpit. Colours used are Vallejo Model Air black, Hataka khaki green & Hataka medium Sea Grey. 🙂

Great start!

Guy Rump
A bit more done on the cockpit and sprayed the interior with Vallejo Model Air Gun Metal. 🙂

Thanks for the kind comment J35J, I appreciate it. 👍

Hajo Lippke
I like the cockpit! But are you sure with the grey colour for the backside and top of the instrument panel?

Guy Rump
Cockpit and main engine fitted to one side of the fuselage. 🙂

I agree with you Hajo, I have painted the top and back of the instrument panel (where there are no decals) black. I had intended to use a darker grey but the one I did use was quite light. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Villiers DV, Neil P, Bernd G & Karel D. 👍

Guy Rump
Fuselage is now together. Next is to mask canopy and attach. 🙂

Started this one.
The Ju 86 which were seen in 2 different Austrian markings, but at the end was never part of the Airforce. Here the overall silver Ju86 #311 at the airshow in Vienna-Aspern in early 1937.

Watching!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hello mates and thank you for your interest!

Juergen Klinglhuber
The mention aircraft was sent to the Airshow in Aspern as a "demonstrator" in austrian marking. Austria was interessed in buying 18 Ju86K-7. Due to several reasons Junkers was not prepared for that airshow and on short note removed the markings of an 86K-2 that was already prepared to be sold to Sweden. They put on austrian markings, a service number #311 and flew it over to Austria for just this one day. Flight captain Behrendt did a good job and the aerobatic air-display was a great success. So far so good. Why I am telling this? 86-K2 is a differend engine and cowling. The box is a 86E1/2. Aftermarket conversion products are out there (Kora) .....I had difficulties to locate/buy some.
Therefore: it is Scratchbuilding time again !!! 😎
