I have built four of these kits for
several friends of mine. This is the first one I built for my personal
collection. As everybody may know, besides some minor details (like the
length
of the landing gear) this kit is really easy and pleasurable to build.

The cockpit as usual
was painted with RLM 66, after that some cooper wire was added here and there to
add more realism. Then some raw umber, burnt sienna and black oil washes
were applied. After letting it dry for a couple of days some highlighting was
done with a combination of RLM 66 plus white oil. Almost forgetting that I added
some seatbealts made from aluminium foil and harnesses made of cooper wire (see
pictures 06 and 07).
Both machineguns
from the nose secion were drilled with a small drill bit, painted black and then
for the metal look some highlighting with raw umber oil plus plain silver enamel
(see picture 08).
The wheel bay was
painted RLM 02, then a raw umber wash was applied and some copper wiring applied
to simulate the brake line and the MG control lines. Both MG's were replaced
with hypodermic needles.
After this some painting with the
regular RLM 76 74 75 was applied following the pattern provided in the
instruction sheet. Then a gloss coat, raw umber wash, semigloss coat, and some
detailing with raw umber oil plus silver enamel.
Hope everybody
enjoys this kit as much as I do, any question or comment will be more than welcomed.
Thanks
for your time.
Mirko
