Matchbox Heinkel He-115 and some other stuff

[mlp]

Thanks a lot folks! As ya all recogn I was a little absent - well there is a real life too and it's summer and there are tons of other things .... but I did some modeling just was too lazy to take pictures, but today I took some

yes, I know all the wrong RLM colors well in the end you probably will believe any RLM code ... I hope

now the real fun will start - getting it dirty and wet

I'll be waiting for new updates. Enjoy summer while it last. Never seemed long enough in Germany.

Cheers, Christian B)

Thanks a lot gentlemen and Laura

this turns out to become real fun ...

some postshading

just the beginning more to follow on the underside.
The dark lines you can see are all sprayed cause the old Matchbox kits do have recessed panel lines and I for me find it much easier to spray them dark instead of rescribing them

and this is where this journey will go to

 

[Kreighshoer]

okaaaaaaaaaaaay?! you did the panel lines with airbrush? how do you make them that straight?

i always wonder how you plane dudes do those sharp panel lines!

great work martin!

Thanks Laura!

Well those lines are just masked and sprayed with oil paint. I'm using a mixture of something like 20:1 ( or even 50:1 - never measured it) of "special fuel" (that's what the can is named - hardware store) and black oil paint - it just looks like black tinted fuel then. Sprayed at almost no pressure with a 0.15 nozzle.

The negative side of this method, the black does not stick very well to the touch so you have to seal that with and acrylic coat before you go on.
