Gary.Wickham Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Greetings all Recently completed my latest effort (with two days to spare for our local IPMS End of Year event). A detailed photo diary of the build for this model (warning 106 photos), can be found at http://scalespot.com (look under 'On The Bench') Built mostly from the box with the following exceptions: - Flap interiors are scratchbuilt, flaps themselves are Eduard PE. - Markings and paint scheme from Eduard Profipack P-39 kit. - Ultracast seat cheers Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Mullen Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Marvellous work as usual Gary :( One question - what paint/technique do you use to get your tyres to look like that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary.Wickham Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 One question - what paint/technique do you use to get your tyres to look like that? Hi Andy If you mean the dirty look, then its just a light spray of thinned Dark Earth (in my case Humbrol 29). This was applied as the very last thing, so a light touch is necessary :unsure: cheers Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kasatka Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Gary, I love the model! Fantastic build as all your builds I usually folow. Thanks for sharing! Sergey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ron Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Very nice, especially the flaps! I love that kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benediktv Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 One of the best weathering jobs I have recently seen!!! Great, great, great!!!! BTW: is the Hw kit better than Eduard? Is it worth the extra money? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragonfly Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I agree...superb weathering Great work! Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary.Wickham Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 BTW: is the Hw kit better than Eduard? Is it worth the extra money? Thanks I have not built the Eduard kit so cannot comment on the fit etc, but looking at the detail of the moldings, and what you get oin the box, I'd say they are pretty close. Lets put it this way, I'm not going to replace my unbuilt Eduard kits with Hasegawa ones. cheers Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Walker Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 The paint fading and weathering is top notch. Very nice work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although I pressume that for you there is no difference between those kits, the result would be excellent in both cases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
