Fellow Modelers,
I posted a progress build on this site about a year ago when I built my first Wingnut’s kit, a Rumpler C.IV (Early). I got a lot of help and encouragement from the participants here. With my modeling, I try to alternate between more challenging and easier projects. I just finished Italeri’s 1/35 PT-109 Boat, which was 27.5” long and contained nearly 500 pieces. It’s a great kit, but now I want something a little easier and quicker. For my second Wingnut Wings kit, I have decided to build a Junker’s J.1. I selected the J.1 because I followed several internet progress builds of the model and thought it was a really cool looking aircraft. I also loved the fact it has no rigging! What follows is my experience building yet another impressive kit from Wingnut Wings.
1st Image: The box top. The yellow-orange background colors remind me of the old Aurora model box tops (is my age showing?)

2nd Image: The interior fuselage sides are shown after painting (rust/wood/light green). As with my last build, I do not go over the base color with oil paint to replica the wood grain. My technique is to use pastel powders for shading and dry-brushing to accent high lights.

3rd and 4th Image: The finished pilot instrument and radio operator panels are shown.

5th through 7th Image: The finished pilot seat is shown. It has really good detail. The seat and arm rests were painted Model Master Leather.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/005_zps227678a7.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/005_zps227678a7.jpg.html)
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/006_zps15f154e8.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/006_zps15f154e8.jpg.html)
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/007_zps8a34e8bc.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/007_zps8a34e8bc.jpg.html)
8th Image: The right side fuselage is shown with some details added. Honestly, it’s a pretty sparse cockpit.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/008_zpsfed5de7b.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/008_zpsfed5de7b.jpg.html)
9th through 11th Image: Finally, the fuselage halves are glued together. The fuselage sides resisted closing all the way but I put that on my shoulders, possibly caused by the pilot’s seat being located a little out of place.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/009_zpsce82bf2d.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/009_zpsce82bf2d.jpg.html)
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/010_zpse26ab88e.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/010_zpse26ab88e.jpg.html)
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/011_zpsbd8a0d3a.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/011_zpsbd8a0d3a.jpg.html)
12th Image: I knew from the start of this project that the left and right engine cover panels would be permanently glued in the closed position. I think the model looks a lot better with them closed. Because of this about 90% of the engine is hidden, so I put very little effort into building/painting it. This is the only photo I took of the engine exposed.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/012_zps8bfbdf80.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/012_zps8bfbdf80.jpg.html)
13th Image: I did a fair amount cutting, bending and sanding on the engine cover panels to get a near perfect fit to the fuselage.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/013_zps858e3ac6.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/013_zps858e3ac6.jpg.html)

You are making excellent progress with your build Phillip, what you have done so far is extremely well done.
Des.
-
A A very impressive start to this build! I am looking forward to your progress! Your interior looks great, very clean and neat work!!!
RAGIII

Beautifully painted cockpit, master class !
I am already curious what will be referred to as.
-
Very very fine. Sharp details, realistic colours. I like it very much.
-
This is becoming a beautiful model, Phillip. I like the oil stains on the engine
block...very convincing. Very good work on the interior as well. I look forward
to your next updates.
Cheers,
Ernie :)

That's very nice painting Phillip; most effective.
Best wishes
Nigel

Beautiful work Phillip, looking like a real winner already. Your painting results are masterful, and the "repairs" to the cowling are very nicely done.
Cheers,
Lance
-
Outstanding job on the cockpit, Phillip. Your work with pastels is top drawer.
Cheers,
Bud

Des, RAGlll, Jacek, PrzemoL, Ernie Parsons, Nigel Jackson, lcarroll, coyotemagic,
Thanks for the kind words. They are appreciated.
1st Image: Work has moved to building the wings. The biggest “internet” complaint about this model is the “missing” sections on the rear center wing. These missing corrugated areas (5/8” long X 1/8” wide”) are very noticeable and need to be filled in. Fortunately, the kit provides two spare corrugated parts that are not required (shown in the photo), and just happen to match the pattern on the wings (very odd)!
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/014_zpsa7cfb898.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/014_zpsa7cfb898.jpg.html)
2nd Image: The first step was cutting the top piece and gluing it in place. Care was taken not to make a careless cut, since there was barely enough extra parts to get the job done.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/015_zpse9643af7.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/015_zpse9643af7.jpg.html)
3rd Image: The newly glued part was cut off and sanded even with the wing trailing edge.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/016_zps864fe772.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/016_zps864fe772.jpg.html)
4th Image: The wing was turned over and the lower piece was cut from what remained.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/017_zps1c6a26bd.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/017_zps1c6a26bd.jpg.html)
5th Image: The lower piece is shown in place. The last step was adding a triangle shape styrene piece between the top and bottom pieces.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/018_zps0e2eeb10.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/018_zps0e2eeb10.jpg.html)
6th Image: Another common complaint about the kit (that I agree with) is how the fit between some of the parts is too tight. The two worst areas are where the lower wing joins to the lower fuselage, and where the left and right outer wings join to the main wings. In all of these areas it appears the size of the mating tabs are the exact same size of the mating slots, producing a fit that is difficult to work with. I did some serious sanding and cutting on all of the outer wing tabs to get an acceptable fit.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/019_zps5cb65808.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/019_zps5cb65808.jpg.html)
7th Image: The upper and lower wings are shown completely assembly and ready for painting. The instruction said to attach all of the outer sections after the center sections were attached to the fuselage, but I decided not to do that. I wanted to be able to fill in the gaps between the sections with 5-minute epoxy, and completely paint/decal the wings before final attachment. Notice how large the upper wing is (18.25” without the ailerons and 19.50” with them!). After the Gotha, does anybody know if this is the largest combat plane the Germans used in WWI?
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/020_zps01ca3f2f.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/020_zps01ca3f2f.jpg.html)
8th Image: Time to paint! This image is from the kit instructions and shows the color scheme I am I going to use. I know many will think these markings a bit dull, but I really like them. In fact this was the only option I considered doing.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/021_zps8fe00b59.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/021_zps8fe00b59.jpg.html)
9th Image: All of the major components are shown after the basic exterior colors have been applied. For the upper surfaces I used Model Master SAC Bomber Green. For the lower surfaces I made a special mix, combining Model Master Hellblau (100 drops) and Testors Flat White (75 drops).
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/022_zpsf17dd2f0.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/022_zpsf17dd2f0.jpg.html)
10th Image: After the light green and light blue were applied, painter’s tape was laid over the underside color so a sharp demarcation line could be created.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/023_zpsfc4d096d.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/023_zpsfc4d096d.jpg.html)
11th Image: Weathering began by applying dark gray pastel dust over specific areas of the airplane using a small, pointed brush. Next, most the dust was brushed away with a thick, soft make up brush.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/024_zpsbe185355.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/024_zpsbe185355.jpg.html)
12th through 14th image: Dry-brushing was applied to highlight some of the raised edges and corrugations. Model Master Dark Ghost Gray was the color used. Doing this helped break up the single color and made the finish more interesting.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/025_zpsa5196ff1.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/025_zpsa5196ff1.jpg.html)

13th Image: The same weathering technique was used on the fuselage, starting with the canvas stitching.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/029_zpsc0051627.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/029_zpsc0051627.jpg.html)
14th Image: This photo shows the fuselage after adding the pastel dust and dry-brushing.

Beautiful work on the weathering, Phillip! Gotta love those pastels.
Cheers,
Bud
-
Amazing work, Phillip! That was really a good job on the wing problem.
Your paint and weathering looks wonderful. You are making terrific progress.
Looking forward to the next updates.
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
It's like a flying tank!! ............... I'll be watching closely as a whole new set of techniques are going to open up I suspect.
Great job so far - I appreciate you documenting the wing corrections - something I would never of known, and kicked myself for missing.
-
Great work so far Phillip, your wing repair is very good and an excellent tip for those who have not built this kit. Your use of pastels for the weathering is turning out great, this is shaping up to be a superb model.
Des.
-
Thank you for your detailed photos of the wing's fix.
To answer your question on aircraft sizes: even the Gotha's where not the largest planes used in the war. Those were the Riesenflugzeuge - now haven one of those Riesen in 1:32 would pose very serious problems of where to put the finished model. The Staaken RVI would have a wingspan of 1.32 meters...
Stefan

Terrific work with the Pastels and dry brushing! Your wing fix is perfect!!
RAGIII

Hello Phillip:
Your build log is very well done and I like the work you are doing. The repair to the wing is outstanding and once painted disappears. I like your approach to the areas that are hardly visible as well. Your interior detailing is nicely done with maximum results. I have this kit as well and I always enjoy seeing the build logs. One of these I will pull mine out, until then I will follow yours. Keep up the outstanding work and sharing your progress.
Best
Mark

mgunns, RAG111, stefanbuss, Des, Andi Little, Ernie Parsons, coyotemagic-thanks for the continued support.
1st Image: Work moves to decaling and putting together the subassemblies. In this photo the protective tape around the cockpit and engine has been removed. Also, the fuselage decals have been added. A thick coat of Future polish was sprayed where the decals went before they were applied. After the decals cured, a 50/50 mixture of Testors Dullcote and thinner was airbrushed over the areas.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/031_zps05cda5d8.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/031_zps05cda5d8.jpg.html)
2nd Image: The stabilizer and tailfin have been added.

4th Image: When it came to decaling the wings I would like to say all I had to do was: a) put the decals in place, b) brush on some Micro-Sol and c) leave it overnight to achieve a painted on look. But that’s not the case. I knew from previously decaling surfaces like this that even with good decals a lot more work is required. After brushing on Micro-Sol, I applied pressure to force the decals into the corrugated valleys. This caused some splitting and tearing, which was expected. The next step was taking a straight pin and puncturing dozens of holes in the decal wherever it was not laying flush against the model. Another coat of Micro-Sol was added. After the decal had completely laid down, I added black and white touch up paint to areas where they were split. Lastly, another heavy coat of Future was sprayed to the entire decal to give it a uniform finish. It was a lot of work, but I am very happy with the results. This photo shows how well the decal is laying down on the lower wing. Final Dullcote has not been applied.

Sometimes another Modeler just Nails the description of the in progress pictures and the build. I think Des has done just that so I will merely second all he said!

Great progress, Phillip. Your decal application over the corrugation is perfect.
Well done!
Cheers,

Lovely work Phillip. I particularly like the subtle high lighting of the details, adds realism in a big way. You have a magnificent Model coming on here!
Cheers,

Hello Phillip:
I will echo the sentiments of the others here, lovely work and the different highlights really add to the overall effect and breaks up the solid green of the paint scheme. Your decal work, albeit time consuming has paid off with a nice decal that looks like paint.
Looking forward to seeing you progress through the next steps. I really like your photo's and now you annotate them.
Best
Mark

Phillip ............
Your build continues to impress. ........... I'm very impressed with the cleanliness of your finishes, it just seems so visually accessible when done this way - my build tends toward "sticky and manky". So this is a boon of a build thread to follow: which brings me to:- You're spraying "future"?? I've had this conversation before with Guy, but how are you spraying a "heavy" coat of future without it "pooling"? Danged if I can do it. Also what are you using to thin the Testers Dulcote with? - I've pretty much given up on the Alclad matt coat as it just gets sticky and horrible with the smallest amount of handling, or so it would appear - although I could of course be doing it wrong? - It's been known before you know!!!
Great job - keep posting those full to the brim pictorials - they're most welcome for twonks like me.
-
This is a great build Philippe. As for so many interiors, it is a pity that all this beautiful work is hardly to be seen. Looking forward for your next updates.
Kind regards
Patrick

Just catching up on this amazing build. I didnt know there was spare material for the wing fix-thanks for the heads up. Your paint and decal work is perfect!!
Steve

I particularly like the way the decals went onto the corrugated wings. This looks very convincing.
Stefan

Another lovely piece of work under way, Phillipe. Congratulations so far. I look forward to seeing the final thing.

Very nice, clean work, Phillip! The decals have settled into the corrugations beautifully.

Andi,
Thanks for the compliments. I am glad you are enjoying the build. Since you asked, I have listed some of the modeling building techniques I use. Remember, there is no one right way to do any of this.
>Paint Application: I thin the paint to the consistency of "fat free milk", and spray in multiple, thin coats. After EVERY coat I gently go over the area with either a thick, sable brush or very soft cloth. I do this to remove any trapped dust or grainy paint build up. Doing this really improves the finish. My airbrush pressure is set between 20-25 psi.
>Airbrushing Future Polish: This is thicker and has a different consistency than thinned paints, so I spray it at 40 psi. I spray it the same way, in thin multiple coats. Applying in this way eliminates the possibility of "pooling". No buffing is done. Many modelers airbrush Future before adding decals to create a glossy surface to adhere to. I always let the Future cure at least one day before adding any decals.
>Airbrushing Dullcote: Testors Dullcote is thick of the bottle and has to be thinned down. I use Testors "Universal Enamel Thinner" and use an equal mix of dullcote and thinner (50/50). The airbrush pressure and buffing procedure used is the same described above.
I use the methods above because (after tweaking them for many years) they work for me. I am always amazed how the many excellent modelers on this website employee so many different painting/weathering/decaling techniques and achieve museum quality results.
I hope this helps.
Phillip

Hi Phillip,
Great thread!
I like the subtle, clean look you're producing. Nice photography too ;)

Hi Phillip.
The Junkers it's looking fantastic. I love that subtle weathing all around, very very nice indeed.
Thank you for sharing your technique too.

Gisbod/Zabu-thanks for the compliments,
1st image: Finally the upper wing is attached. If it is not obvious from this photo-let me make it clear this is a huge model!
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/048_zps0786e955.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/048_zps0786e955.jpg.html)
2nd Image: A close up shot of the attached upper wing. The upper wing was VERY wobbly with only four struts in place, but became sturdy by the time all eight were added. After all the struts were in place, I measured the upper and lower wings for alignment and straightness and confirmed they were nearly perfect. I credit this more to the kit’s design and injection process than my modeling skills.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/049FSM_zps1178bc89.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/049FSM_zps1178bc89.jpg.html)
3rd Image: A penny and masking tape were used to create painting masks to cover the wheel hubs. The tires were painted Model Master Light Gray and then weathered with dark gray and brown pastel dust.
(http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu186/gatosub/050FSM_zps8a7e3595.jpg) (http://s646.photobucket.com/user/gatosub/media/050FSM_zps8a7e3595.jpg.html)
4th through 7th Image: How I painted the propeller is shown in four steps. The first color used was Model Master Wood. After this dried, masking tape strips were put in place. Then, Model Master Military Brown was applied. Next, reddish-brown pastel powder was brushed over the part to tone down the contrast. Finally, a heavy coat of Future was applied for a semi-gloss finish. I know there are better, more complicated techniques that produce more realistic results, but this method let me get done in less than two hours.

8th Image: Here is the final construction photo. The elevator and rudder control cables are being added using .005” diameter wire. Once I had the exact length, I used slow set superglue on one end, and white glue on the other to secure it in place.

9th through 20th image: Finished! The J.1 was completed today. Here are some photos of the model. It turned out to be the simple project I was hoping it would be. My build was straight from the box and took about 108 hours, which is pretty quick for me. It is a very well engineered kit that required only a few small “tweaks”. Thanks for the support during the build and letting me share this. I will take some additional photos and post them in the complete model section.

Hi Philipe, this is a beautiful piece of work. Well done!

Very well done. You really managed to break up the monotone green colour.

Hi Phillip,
Growing nicer and nicer. This is a very neat and clean build, meticulous too. Very nice color. Congratulations.
Kind regards

Beautiful paint work! Your construction is clean and FLAWLESS!

Well done, Phillip. Your paintwork is first-rate! It really is a much
larger aeroplane than I thought. Great work!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
That is one beautiful looking Junkers. Well done.
-
Beautiful finish Phillip. Crisp, clean, and most pleasing overall. Like Ernie I'm impressed by the size, I saw one in a Show several years ago and had forgotten how big it was; it wasn't nearly as nice as yours either!
Cheers,
Lance

Brilliant, Phillip! For an ugly aeroplane, she sure is gorgeous.

VERY NICELY DONE! :)
I am a newcomer, both to the forum and to WWI aircraft modeling.
It is my intent to get this model from "WnW" as my first build............your build thread has given me great insight.

Beautiful model Phillip, looks terrific.

That is, as everybody has said, a beautiful model.

Nigel Jackson, stefanbuss, IFF1418, RAGIII, Ernie parsons, James, Icarroll, coyote magic, olfogey, Zabu, Cimmerian, Des, pepperman42-Thnaks very much for the kind words. The support that is given on this website is truly a cut above what you see on many other hobby modeling sites.
olfgey-The Junkers J.1 is a good first WNW kit to choose, since there is no rigging and the part count is not too great. Good luck on your build and remember to post your progress.
