Title: Albatros D.V 1/32 WnW
Post by: Jacek 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.

Post by: kornbeef on August 21, 2013, 03:42:45 AM: Jacek, lovely work but one thing! Albatros didn't have the cocking handles on the maxims. See Bo's build he has some excellent ref there as to how the cocking mechanism should look. Snipping off the long handle and making a short straight length with a knob on basically.

I love what you are doing otherwise.

It seems as though you haven't painted the rear cockpit bulkhead that the seat fits in to, it should be painted 'Clear Doped Linen' in colour, because it is visible when the cockpit is closed, I hope this helps.

Looking really good so far. Your pre-shading will pleasantly surprise you if you apply very light coats of the final finish over top, and stop short of full coverage. Very nice work so far on one, if not my absolute number one favorite subject. Looking forward to following your progress.

I agree Jacek, another light coat (or two) will do wonders, just take it a very light bit at a time. I use a dark grey normally, spray it exactly as you have, and the light undersides normally need at least two shots, sometimes three of the light blue or CDL.

I will be very interested to see when you have the fuselage all done. Do you
put a coating over it when it is applied?

Title: Re: Albatros D.V 1/32 WnW
Post by: uncletony on September 16, 2013, 12:07:49 PM: Jacek, keep in mind the wood grain on the panels will always be in the same direction on the D.V -- parallel to the airflow. This is because the plywood was three ply and much easier to bend in one direction hen the other.

You simply must experiment as there are many variables including the paint's viscosity, the stiffness of the bristles as well as the effect you are trying to achieve. This technique is often used to simulate mud spatters and so forth...

The result

1.-Technique Bo
2.-My modification of technique Bo
3.-Sponge

The most suitable to me technique Bo. In my modification is too much of microscopic dots.
Sponge is very difficult to maintain equal emphasis !

Post by: Gisbod on September 23, 2013, 10:50:37 PM: Nice experimentation..

Although I think it was sponged on the aircraft, so the real thing looks a bit blotchy. It's a very difficult finish to achieve and not look a mess!

I'm sure the neater flicking method will look best on the model..

Good luck!

very nice wings shading, Jacek!

I am not happy with the shading on the wings :-\
I painted gently brighten color. I think right now it looks a little better.

Post by: PrzemoL on September 25, 2013, 06:26:03 AM: Very very promising. Fine effect, Jacek!
But, again, forgive my being a continuous nuisance... My feeling of this camouflage is a bit different. Looking at the photo from the WNW website (hints and tips section) I tend to see a more pronounced mottle effect. I would add some more green specks.

Photo taken in close-up, it seems to me that there is sufficiently dots.

more motley. However if you are happy with your efforts, that is what counts. I tend
to think you have it pretty well done. Good work, my friend!

I have one more question, how long have turnbuckles GasPatch ?
Title: Re: Albatros D.V 1/32 WnW
