Yes learn from my mistakes! hahaha (y)

Building should be ok, it's when it comes to painting it will get difficult, a little different technique then armor (there you have mud and equipment to help you hide misstakes)

Try this, prime it with Tamiya rattlecan A/S 12 silver, the paint is as tough as nails and makes an excellent base for any paint you throw at it, especially if you decide to use Acrylics - guaranteed no paint lift - also a big bonus if you do rub some paint off during further construction, and also gives you an easy task when spraying the Yellow wing tips, splinter pattern is fairly easy using strips of straight cut Tamiya masking tape, this is the method I use all the time with my aircraft builds.

As for weathering remember - all aircraft were new once! so a few chips, ( also handy with the silver base under your main colors) some oil stains, a bit of Tamiya weathering sets, and you are there.

Aircraft don't necessarily need to be filthy! builders choice there! (y)

HTH
 
Couldn't wait so i started experimenting with something i hope will look good :idonno

I will make a mold from this when finnished and then cast 3 pieces for the Stuka, hopefully it will look like a spinning propeller... i always have 3 blades to make it a normal propeller if it doesn't work :coolio

This should be a nice kit since it is based on the Hasegawa molds. Just in case you look for aftermarket.

Regards,
 
Yes it looks very nice, great details on the panels and cockpit :)

The propeller is coming out fine i think....

Still looking for some transparent resin to cast them in, i just have a beige one, anyone have tips on where to find it please let me know (preferebly in Europe/UK)

//Mats
 
What a great idea, looks prefect.

I'm not sure about the availability in Europe, but Smooth-On has some fantastic clear resins (and tints too). The stuff isn't cheap, but they do sell trial kits of all their products that are reasonable. I usually order directly from them but I wouldn't in your case, their shipping is very expensive (and I'm only a few hours from the company). Smooth-On is the main supplier to the film industry, since the UK has a lot of production, I'd bet it's carried over there as well. Most good art shops in the States have it.
 
Thanks :) i looked at some methods for doing a spinning prop, but they are so flat, i wanted something more 3D.
In real life you don't see much of the propeller but here i wanted to show atleast a blurry propeller, and no plastic disc either, the prop blur ( http://www.propblur.com/ ) is nice but still to flat for my liking.
I hope it will turn out ok so i can do my display as i imagined it :)

If you cast it clear with a very slight black tint, you could drill out the area where the prop would be and fill it with darker black giving it the impression of a solid piece inside.
