Global Scale Modeller

So I started this a while back, but stuck it on the "shelf of doom" for a while due to issues with the masking tape pulling paint off right down to the plastic. Recently I thought instead of starting any new kits I better finish the part done ones on the "shelf of doom", hence the Bf110C recently, and now this.

This kit was easy to put together, some parts were a bit burred and there was a chunk of flash around, but the detail parts were thin and scaled well, and it built up nicely, and fitted well. There are some areas I see now I should have paid more attention too, such as the fuselage spine and front of the tail fin.

I tried to do the mottling with the airbrush, but couldn't get it fine enough and it looked a mess, so I hand painted the mottles and then lightly airbrushed the RLM 65 pale blue over the top to blend them in a bit, and I am happier with that effect.

Comments and any critiscms are most welcome.

Cheers

Great build mate

Nice looking kit with good paint techniques. I think I would have tried to make the mottling a touch smaller by using a sponge application, but that is just a personal opinion

Sweet build! Looks good and another shelf queen finished

Very nice I've got a 190 kit I want to do soon struggling not to start it now thanks to yours.

Looks awesome Gav, almost makes me want to go out and get a 190, e en when I'm not really a 190 fan

I dare not attempt anything like that exhaust staining yet, not brave enough.
Stuning work.

Nice work gav

Great work Gav turn out great considering the issues you mentioned.

Inspiring work on the FW Gav

Emilliano

how did you get the white swirl on the spinner

michael

Cheers all.

Michael, the swirl is a decal that came in the kit - cheating! lol.

Loving that's Gav

You did a great job, very nice

Mark

cheers Gav - my mistake i thought it was the airfix kit, that does not have the swirl as a decal for some reason

Yeah you already know what I think of that thing... still looking for the other eye.
Bugger.
You gotta stop making these dude.
I feel like Mackenzie Crook in Pirates of the Caribbean always looking for his eye.
