Focke-Wulf Ta183 Huckebein

[Draken35]

Canopy is placed


Fitting is very poor (very bad to be honnest).
I have used of some little parts of Evergreen and then putty

[Draken35]

Putty is sanded now

[Draken35]

Minor correction with miliput

[Draken35]

All is OK now...

[NARSES2]

How do you mix such a small amount of Miliput ? Or was there a lot of waste ?

I like Miliput but find I waste a lot

I'm with you there Chris. In small amounts it's difficult to get the 50:50 mix exactly right and then it won't go off properly.

I take the minimal quantity with the blade of a knife - but lot of waste is unavoidable.
A friend of mine used the "wasted" miliput to sculpt figures...

Anyway,
Rescribing of the panel just in front of the canopy; then Duck Egg Green airbrushed

Thanks Draken

I'm thinking of putting lead shot in the waste and using it as nose weights

The Huckebein is a very nice jet, sure!

Very light weathering done; and for the position lights I used Rub'n Buff as a base for red and green colors to come
