Ta152 progress

Cockpit is finished. I'm building the model OOTB so the seatbelts are the ones provided in the box PE. I've only painted it. 

I chose to do a simple painted instrument panel. 

 

There is a part of the engine provided in the box that can be seen through the wheel bays from below. 

 

 

All of the small bits and pieces have been painted and weathered. I mixed the parts up, in this picture you can see the wing assembly from the Dora.. 

 

Canopy glued on with pva-glue. 

And masked with the Montex-mask. Im not really a fan of montex canopy masks. they are not pliable enough and often lift up in the corners. I prefer how the eduard masks work. 

As can be seen there is a bit of lift of the canopy mask after spraying the inside color. 

Result after black base paint and marbling. I use XF-1 and XF-2 for this. 

Masking and painting the fuselage camo is finished. I will have to do some more airbrushing to make the dot pattern on the horizontal stabiliser. 

Masking for the camoflage of the wing sections. 

Main camo is finished. 

I have montex masks for this build. The masks for the insignias are really easy to place due to the transparency of the masks. 

I'm happy with the result. 🙂 

Having masked and painted the insignias for the sides of the fuselage, I realized that I had made the background too large. It will have an impact on the rest of the markings, but I don't feel like re-masking and painting it again... 🙁 

As can be seen, the black markings have partially dark background, due to my previous mistake. But I think it is good enough.
Not many beople visiting my household is going to notice it anyway! 😉 

Camo and markings are finished! 🙂 

The last touch is masking and painting the underside insignias. 

 

It is Finished! 🙂
