Are they visible?



Daryl J.

Nope.

EDIT 1
Open a parallel session of photobucket and hit the title "IMG Code" under your pic once. That will copy the IMG Reference. Then come to your post edit session and simply paste it into.

EDIT 2
WOW !!!
It was worth the effort, Daryl!!!!

The first one is still not showing


EDIT 3
It shows now.

Inspiration for scheme to Brett Green at Hyperscale, my thanks sir.


Not quite completed before I was banned by my physicians from all organic solvents for a while....long story not for here.

PS: Sorry for the huge size of the photos, my program has one size only....too big.

[Rafael]

Beautiful.

I like your camo, the tail striping is very eye-catching, and the interior detail is stunning.
Daryl, just between you and me, how did you manage to accentuate every panel line in the aircraft, I would like to learn to do that.

Rafa,

It is a wash of Turpenoid, Japan Dryer, Grumbacher burnt sienna, and burnt umber thinned to the consistency of water and flooded on with a small brush.  
After sitting for an hour, it was gently wiped clean with my old T-shirt.

This will not work on enamels as the solvents in the paint react with the thinner of the wash.   The technique is only for acrylics and oil paint washes.

There ya go.

Materials are at any good craft store and will run about $35.00US but last a lifetime if properly sealed.


HTH,
Daryl

Nice one, Dar ! The paint looks awesome.....very nicely done. Looking forward to seeing a few more snaps !

 

[Sisko]

Thanks for the pics.

Very nice!

[Mossie]

Nice, I like the subtle tiger stripes, kind of reminds me of the velociraptors in Jurassic park!

Sounds like you had a couple of pints of what I had weekend before last....!

Hi Daryl

Thanks for showing us your plane.

The Huckbein is such a wonderful design and you've done a great job on your model.

More photos please!

Very nice Ta 183!

I like the Tiger stripe camo, I have seen a photograph of a Fw 190D-9 that had almost the same style of camouflage on the the rear fuselage.

....and that Fw-190 is the inspiration for the upper rear fuselage......       Most of my modeling is a re-blending of someone else's ideas rather than a frank original.   IIRC, the Focke Wulf is also in green/green/sky yes?

That is freakishly CLEAN!  Wish I could do that!

Very handy model, all around, Daryl!        

[Eddie M.]

Outstanding work! B) Very nice detail. Thanks for sharing with us!

The more I look at it, the better I like it...most convincing, and really well done.
