Javlin Posted November 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2022 I thought it be best to start a thread on this instead of posting in the Re.2005 thread.I have applied some oils I actually have the whole plane done now dare not touch anymore ATTM.The oils do leave a brush stroke pattern even with me thinning some with mineral sprites it is a little better but strokes still present.I am thinking this may just work?? ccoyle, Ryland Craze, Edwardkenway and 8 others 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danstream Posted November 20, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Please note that the green color was applied by Fokker using a stiff brushes to deliberately obtain a streaked finish. I am looking forward to see this classic finished. Dan PS - I just noticed that the start of this build is appended to the Re 2005 one. I see that the streaking finish is what you are aiming at, so discard my comment above. If you would like to accept a comment on the result so far, I would say that it conveys the impression. However, in my view, we have to consider that the finish was done manually by brush strokes and if you imagine a person in scale doing that, probably you could have obtained a finer (smaller scale) texture. But this is just a thought of mine.

Javlin Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Thanks Dan this kit almost hit the trash can some time back been at it for 3/5 months now.I had already bought the decals and I am waiting for a GB to start on another forum and decided to give it another go.The idea is as you stated to lend itself to that impression and think once rigged and decaled it will look the part methinks. Got some touch-ups but not much. Edited November 20, 2022 by Javlin mtaylor, AJohnson, Canute and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys got to say had one of the best vacations in 4 years since this CV-19 came about went and stayed with some sisters in Melrose FL her house was originally built in 1868 with a 2nd story added in 70's.TG day we had Lamb Shanks on Polenta with a very good sauce,roasted carrots,greens and a citrus salad all so good.It was the first time to meet my niece's husband after ten years or so of marriage they have been living in NY City but moved S just before Cv came about He is a Professional Chef.He is not a baker so Sis and I did deserts both were excellent.We all headed over to St.Augustine FL on Friday and kicked around a bit till night settled in for the turning on of the lights it was beautiful.I relaxed and recharged enough I hope the Wife was happy we went.

Javlin Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted November 28, 2022 Got some decals going down as you can see no guns yet and hardly nothing for the pit it was plain did not even worry about the IP.I am building this kit one for FUN and to teach a new painting technique for myself once it hits the cabinet it's done on reviews.I may get a MENG kit after this one of the Dr1 and play with that one a bit before I move on to the WNW kit I have.

popeye the sailor Posted November 29, 2022 Share #12 Posted November 29, 2022 the only thing I see are the anchors on the side.......I feel the lettering should have been over them. all 'n all though, the camo is really good....nice streaking. I think it's why I love this era of planes so much.......especially the German planes. each jasta had their individual camo and art work..........flying canvas you need another one to keep it company Edwardkenway, Javlin, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

popeye the sailor Posted November 30, 2022 Share #14 Posted November 30, 2022 no dispute intended........I've seen it before as well basically, it's a production number and the additional 'artwork' was put on after it was delivered. I've also seen it on decal sheets thinking it was a misprint. it's a small bit of detail that I sometimes didn't follow. my thinking for the obscure, even though I think it would look better the other way around, turns out to be detail missed. I'll keep that in mind I still think you produced a fine looking model..........that needs no adjustment at all! mtaylor, Old Collingwood, Canute and 3 others 5 1 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Javlin Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share #17 Posted December 23, 2022 I am calling this one finished clearing the bench Boys for the GB.The rigging is just stretched grey sprue and the cocking mechanism for the MG's just was being a PIA said FIT.The build was really to see if I could pull a paint scheme as such for other builds down the road and a cheap kit with a poor fit was a good test it took me 8 months off/on to get this done.
