RGL Posted July 23, 2019 Author #302 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) This is a BF109. The panels are recessed as is the canopy. New trick, painted the canopy black with acrylic then gave it a green wash with Oils that bring up the metal parts are a brush is not thin enough. Then a light wash to bring out the panels. Next will be some light dry brushing to bring out some colour. Once thats sone on all of the aircraft I’ll add decals them weather Edited July 23, 2019 by RGL Ryland Craze, ccoyle, jgodsey and 15 others 18 Quote Greg

cog Posted August 3, 2019 #318 Posted August 3, 2019 Short movie. You could have sped a little less, you just made the fastest round in the WWII series over the DKM -GZ circuit. With enough pitstops along the way it gives a good impression of the work you have put into her ... a more than very credible representation of the ship in actual use. Weathering looks very good, details are marvelous.

RGL Posted August 4, 2019 Author #323 Posted August 4, 2019 Thus ends the German phase; Graf Zeppelin, Seydlitz and Emden. Parked up in the digital graveyard. I live in hope they will make a USS Langley so I can build that as my third US ship, but I’m not really inspired by anything at the moment as anything I build I want to weather heavily as it’s fun. I’m really not a fan of doing that many aircraft again, so as a break I intend to do a couple of flying boats in ‘Shore Leave’. I haven’t built a plastic aircraft since the very early 1980’s. schooner, jgodsey, amateur and 21 others 24 Quote Greg
