Thks Dan a long build for me but it paid off in the end ICM kits are Nice! Oh Dan as to the clear parts I attached them first for good adhesion then with a q-tip slightly damp I coated the clear parts with Future.

M3 Lee Tank by CDW - Miniart - 1:35 Scale - FINISHED
Javlin replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Looking good Craig but as to the tracks what you are doing should work smaller tip glue applicator/brush?RFM gives the builder a jig to assemble the tracks my armor experience is pretty limited. -
Thks Mark it's only my second build in thirty years of the He-111 out of 250 built. Yes Sir I am going to agree with you today I spent some hours on this one doing layers the sun kind of bleached things out a bit may do some indoor pics? Thks OC like your Waterloo though not as intensive as yours different results can take time. N.Africa schemes whether Axis/Allied are a bird of a different flock.Thks. You are correct Yves about the variety of kits they are producing/quality I think ICM is fast approaching Tamyia standards in the future for me it will be Revell of Germany,ICM or Eduard.Which leads me to the next project(s) is it the Eduard Mustangs(3)?I have an affliction for ReCon crates.

Thks Craig I have a deep affinity to ICM kits now they are a joy to build.A little feature the wing tip lights have a long extension that fits into the wing being clear of course you paint that part and the color goes to the lens.I thought it was kind of neat . Thks Ken.

Thks Alan!I am basically done with the shading little things here and there nothing major though.She starting to look like a He-111 now the sides of the fuse and tail are not done as hard as the areas exposed to direct light.

Liking that Gun platform Craig! -
I busted out a box of pastels using a light white grey and an even lighter sand mixed started some blending.I had the airbrush set up with some flat I coat spray coat till I was happy....I think I am happy with the wings and the L/Tailplane.The build is starting to come together just longer than most for me at least it's getting artistic ATTM.

Thks Denis thinking about the next move

Don't worry Dan she will end up being a Nice addition to the Air Fleet.
-
Yea I know Mark it has a couple of the Persian Rug Flaws just to be sure.
-
I only used Eduard's copit PE kit Craig to much glass to not.
-
Yes they have Craig I have bought a few of their kits just for the fact good subject and "ICM"
-
Decals have been applied I know we like thin but man some of these were just to thin I lost several.I have several mistakes in the paint all on the undersides 1) the white under the wings went one panel to far inboard.2) the white band on the tail is 1/16" to wide hint the "A" hit the white centering the "Z" and 3) the RLM 78 was to go much lower between the wing and tailplanes live and learn.I think when done 9 out of 10 people will never notice those mistakes so I march on.I made up the colors for the props,bombs and prop covers.

F-86F-30 Sabre by Javlin - FINISHED - Kinetic - 1/32

I figured I was getting close enough to the end to post Mark. -
Now here is the progression on the shading I did not go black base on this typical Mr Surfacer 1200 was the laid and MM Africa 1942 Sand then the upper panel lines were done in MM Italian Sand.I then started inside of the panels with the Italian Sand(darkest) next came Yellow Zinc Chromate and on to white.I then came back over that with the 1942 slowly building it up I was still not happy with it pic2 so I laid down more #3.I started on the bottom with a med Grey for the panel lines and ever so lightly in a few panel started with the 1942 and went back over with RLM 78 you will notice in #4 R/wing has the dust and the L/wing needs more toning down.The toning down and dust came in #7 I like the effect.I then made a color of a lot of white 70% and 30%1942 almost pink I misted the wings up top and the spine of the fuselage a dust effect sun fade #5 did all the white also.I have the clear on it now and will do some more tomorrow before work and let dry good then decals and pastels
