Albatros D.V 1/32 WnW
« on: August 03, 2013, 02:07:02 AM »
Welcome. Time to start my first WnW. I got it as a present, let it not be in stock ;)
I'm going to do it in this paint scheme.



At the beginning of masking



Now preshading color Humbrol 113 and the base color of Humbrol 103, and drying.





Time to think how to make imitations of plywood ?
I took to be the engine, at the beginning of the valve springs.








 
I started doing the spark plugs I'm not sure whether this can be.

Excellent scheme selection, Jacek.  I love those dappled naval ships.  Outstanding job on the springs.
Cheers,

I changed the wires, I did not like, were too thin



I stressed the wooden structural elements, with paint Humbrol 62

In all honesty I would have been more than satisfied with the first wires! But that is why you model, make the parts to please your own skill level! Beautiful work!
