WNW 1/32 Salmson 2.A2
« on: December 08, 2014, 12:28:50 AM »
In the true style of a London bus here comes the third one.

The scheme I shall be doing is the Elephant scheme.



after several hours of painting I finally have started to get to the assembly stage

Engine - combination of Vallejo and Tamiya metallics, with Tamiya Intermediate blue thrown into it to add more colour. Washes were Vallejo paint just for a change.





Cockpit to date







I couldn't stomach the green belts, I didn't have the paint colour anyway. however I did have an abundance of linen coloured paint.



I've painted all the wing undersides. What I tried to do is pre shade colour variations by first priming with black the adding highlights with grey and then white. Then I overpaint the base colour. I will add a final brown oil filter once I have the fuselage colour on.

Thanks everyone, your comments are much appreciated.

The copper is gunze, I too have been through numerous coppers and this one is the best I've found so far.
