Global Scale Modeller

Sorry for any mistake because my English is not good (help with the Google translator).

Right now I have two models on the workbench. A Bf 109 E-7 Eduard 1/48 that I am participating in a GB on another forum.



The second, which will be my first model in this forum, a Hellcat Mk II also Eduard 1/48 and already started painting the model.

The paint scheme chosen.



The interiors.













All glued and ready to start painting the model.

Very nice, I did this kit a while ago, good kit and you've chosen a great scheme. Keep us posted ajcmac

Ok, I have to share this brain fart moment , I saw Hellcat, but read wildcat and for a moment I was confused as to why I keep seeing the Hellcat and not the wildcat when I was sure you said wildcat and not Hellcat..... I need coffee...

On topic though, that 109 looks amazing and if that is anything to go by I can't wait to see the Hellcat finished.

Joesdad nad RoscoRSA thank you.

First color applied. Sky XF-21 Tamiya.









Applied after shading.













I already have the mask ready to paint the second color Gunze H-305.

The BF109 looks great in that Camp scheme and you've made a great start on the Hellcat. Good work with the cockpit and the shading!

Agreed, both builds look very nice!

Antonio is a very talented modeller!!
Due to common language (he is from Portugal, I´m from Brazil, so we both speak portuguese) I know his work from portuguese/brazilian foruns, and I bet this Hellcat built will amuse all of you!

Go ahead, my friend!

Sweet. I'll be following this one as I'm starting on a USN version this afternoon. Your work is excellent.

Ola ajcmac
Muito bom trabalho
What did you use for the underside post shading?
Is it tamiya smoke?
Obrigado

Thank you all.

I did not use the Smoke.

For each color that I apply in the model make two mixtures. Mix white to base color and apply the lights. Mix black to base color and apply the shadows. The two mixtures with 80% thinner.

XF-21 Tamiya.



H-305 Gunze.



H-52 Gunze.



And the model already painted.













Here's a mistake I only saw after I had taken the photos.



Already corrected.

No Future, I can not get more, I started to use varnishes of Alclad and now not change. I like them very much.

Aqua Gloss ref. ALC 600 and Flat Klear ref. ALC 314. Apply only one layer.

ajcmac

Thank you.

Beautifully executed and such an unusual scheme!! The pre-shading work is so crisp, you must have a very steady hand.

She's a beauty mate! Gorgeous paintwork and finishing!!

Absolutely Fantastic!
GENIUS !

Glorious!
