Well, now the Albatros is finished I find myself looking through the Hannover box...
Looks super 8)
Initial thoughts are: Can't face the lozenge :o
The trainer option look is nice, 90% sure I'll be doing that. Although it's a bit predictable; I did however find this on 'Wings Pallete'
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Hannover/0aff1a2fc5529adb05f477f0a2739203.jpg)
Does anyone have any info or photos on non lozenge options? (I know there were a few Polish ones, but not sure I like them).
Out of interest, are there any threads showing how to paint lozenge just in case...
Many thanks,
Guy
-
Hi Guy,
Ray Rimell's Hawa special s vol 1 and 2 are pretty good for showing the variety of finishes.
I'll take a look and see whether tyere are any other non-lozenge options in there....
Good luck with the build,
Dave
-
Looking forward to this one Guy!
-
I always thought the Hannover was a neat aeroplane, with it's distinctive double
tail. Sorry, Guy, no help on the paint scheme front, but really looking forward to
following your build, my friend.
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hi,
have a look at the WnW site.
http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/4F70D020AF6AEE17CC07B801BA13905D
Here is the Hannover from Kay Koglin, he also built the Trainer scheme.
I try to build it too ;)
Maybe this helps a bit.
Regards
Jörg
-
Thanks Dave, Big Blue, Ernie & Jörg,
Yes, I'd seen that - I think that's as close to perfection as you can get :P
I will be copying heavily if I do that one. I fancy the one pictured above though as it's just a bit different to everyone else's.
Dave, I've seen those photos - lovely. But the wings look a different colour /shade to the fuse. I don't think anyone knows for sure, but can only have an educated guess?
Guy
-
Great to see you have decided to build this kit Guy, it is a very impressive kit and builds easy.
Des.
-
Thanks Des,
Yes it is a lovely kit. I'm really enjoying it already. A nice straightforward build without too many tricky bits or rigging. Having studied the pictures of the trainer pictured in my first post (522), I've come to the conclusion that (to my mind) the fuselage is pale blue, the wings, stabiliser, rudder and wings are YELLOW ;) the wheels and undercart are red. Once you look at the photo with those colours in mind - it suddenly all makes sense ;D
So that's what I'm going to be doing - shame I can't post the photo as its from Ray's 'Hawa' book.
Have prepped the wood at least:

Any input welcome,
Guy
Ps getting some tips off of Bertl's build, but (obviously) won't be going to follow all the crazy stuff!

Evening all,
I've been beavering away on the cockpit and it's very nearly done. Nice busy pit with lots of detail. The usual wood grain with oils followed by detail painting, blending, glossing, pin wash, decalling, unglossing, wiring etc... All in all quite a job, but loved every minute of it. I went for a black leather seat just to be different.
Apologies for the usual macro photo scaries... It looks OK in the flesh - honest :P

Beautiful painting and detailing Guy, your choice of colours is superb, I like the black seat.
Des.

Magnificent work Guy! If that's Machro Mode scary then mine should be banned as absolutely lethally horrifying :o: great detail, pristinely clean and beyond perfect! Your work is a real inspiration.
Cheers,
Lance
-
Excellent!
-
Fantastic & lovely Guy!
-
I am impressed by your paintwork's subtlety. It seems to be the "agreed way of working" to show very heavy woodgrain (normally by applying UvR's decals), but I always think that is way overdone.
You show a lot of restraint in your "woodworking" - this is much more convincing.
Well done.
S.

Oh for pity sake, Guy, your macro pictures are actually better than regular
size! Not fair!! Your work on the Hannover interior is sublime. Just magical.
I am anxious to see what wonders you will come up with next, my friend. :D

Hello Guy!!!
That is one brilliant looking cockpit you are making ;) I shall keep watching...

Tres bon, vraiment, Guy!
A question, though: Are you going to fit those wooden wheels to the bird, like shown on the profile?
-
Thank you for the very kind comments :D
Just another quick one before I close her up...
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Hannover/d0cb206d64b3778f9433cbc70313e837.jpg)
Getting everything lined up takes a degree of care as there are a few points from the cockpit assembly to marry up with the fuselage. It's really worth taking the time to do a few dry runs first - but it does just click into place once all is as it should be.
Now onto the engine. I've pre sprayed all the parts so it shouldn't take me too long to complete.

Good question. I did notice those. I'm not sure yet. I'm not very good at improvising parts...
Why were they used?
Guy
-
Wooden wheels were used with training units, because raw materials like especially rubber, but also like all kinds of metals, were very rare in Germany at that stage of the war and thus left for the use with the front-line units.
By the way: Those wooden wheels don't look TO PRETTY to me...
Richard

Ah of course,
I have seen those before. I initially thought they were wooden covers. Yes, that would be tricky to represent without looking odd!

Thanks Bud & Martin,
The engine is well under way. Oddly there are 2 left hand side parts in the kit - one is a rather crude representation of the rockers and rods all moulded as one and the other is a finely moulded version without the rods (ideal for adding your own with fine brass or plastic rod). The kit says this part is 'unused' but for me it's the far better option! The first job was to cut away the spark plugs and replace using brass tube again. I realise this is quite a crude way of replicating them compared to what could be done, but it's quick and convenient and, unless magnified, looks pretty good and has the added advantage of creating a secure attachment point for the ignition wire (copper coloured 0.17mm monofilament).
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Hannover/f645b6958813b4dff4b02b8200baecb4.jpg)
I'll post some more pictures once I've finished the engine - rods etc in situ.
Having finally closed up the fuselage, and sanded down the seams (this actually went perfectly well this time! There's a first for everything...) I've got a coat of primer on. I've only recently discovered Tamiya Fine Primer, and it's really excellent. It produces a very even finish that is smooth as silk. I always used Halfords primer in the past, which is also very good product, but quite coarse in comparison (although cheaper!).
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Hannover/f1a6867278dcc7cdd4e14ca93a6fb0b5.jpg)
Now I can get stuck into the painting ;D

Yep, that's what it is for. They've done this with many of their engines -- (provide a "clean" version for the detailers... )
-
Nice progress Guy. The brass "sparkplug" tubes are a good idea. The Tamiya fine primer
is my favourite...as you said, silky smooth. :D
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Thanks Ernie & Bo,
Bo, that's what I assumed, but I was surprised they don't mention this - just have the part blanked on the instructions as 'not used'
I've got a base layer of paint on now, and it looks er... Colourful - those of a nervous disposition look away now 8)

Fear not though, this is only the start of the process, and I'm hoping it's going to end up looking like a well used training aircraft by the end ;)
I wish I could post the period photograph - it puts the colours into context. There's one from the rear quarter where the colours make absolute sense and the text describes pale blue and yellow being common on training aircraft. Perhaps I can get permission from Ray for the magazine article? Happy to hear of any other opinions although it's too late to change!! ;D
Thanks for looking in...

Looking ready for the colouring in Guy.
I agree that the Tamiya primer paints seem to get the best results. Absolutely smooth flawless finish, and they dry very quickly.
-
Thanks Bob, Ernie & Dave,
I'm glad you noticed the smooth finish, because that's what I was striving for :D I've got a confession though - the yellow is a Tamiya 'rattle can'. I've always found yellow a hard colour to paint with so I thought I'd give this a go. I'm glad I did as it made it a very straightforward job with a lovely smooth, glossy finish. The fuselage is Tamiya light blue lightened with white and diluted with Tamiya Laquer thinners. I think this is my best option for painting to date. It gives a slightly slower drying time so as not to clog the airbrush which can happen (to me at least) with protracted use. It also seems to give the smoothest finish.
Although lately I am experiencing 'spotting' with my airbrush. Little blobs spattering out along with the finer spray. Any ideas? Paint not thin enough, pressure to high? I can't seem to stop it regardless of paint type. My airbrush has been thoroughly cleaned so I'm running out of ideas. It doesn't always do it...
Guy
-
That's getting even more interesting. Pale blue and yello? Nice...

Guy,
You may need to change the Teflon seals.
Which airbrush do you use?

Thanks Bud,
Guy,

Which airbrush do you use?
vB ;)
Hi Bob, I've got an Iwata Custom Micro B. But I think I've finally found the problem, I went over it with a fine tooth comb and found that the blades of the tip were slightly bent (must have dropped it). If I use it without the tip it sprays fine! Phew. I'll probably need to get a new tip I reckon though :P
I've just had an experimental paint session in an effort to recreate an uneven, dappled finish. I decided to go with the salt technique which I haven't tried before. This required a leap of faith to try it out with my lovely shiny, smooth yellow wing!
I'm sure it's old hat for everyone here, but here's what I tried:
1. Moisten the surface with warm water (the airbrush seemed to work ok with this).
2. Sprinkle on the salt - I used a standard salt grinder with coarse salt, then a final sprinkle with fine.
3. Mist on some more water.
4. Dry gently with a hairdryer.
5. Lightly spray a well thinned coat of a subtly different shade to the base.
6. Dry again with the hairdryer.
7. The salt then just brushes off and finish with a wipe down.
Quite pleased with the initial results, but bear in mind there are more processes to come and the overcoat is a Matt finish so looks slightly odd at the moment!

The salt technique turned out quite nicely! Certainly has the look of distressed dope. Something to think about on my next DR1. Like all of the others have said, very colorful bird!

Thanks Martin and Rick...
Couldn't resist finishing the job with the fuselage...
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Hannover/2b2765b6fbc929a038ebe8117a162892.jpg)
I'm pleased with the effect, but think I could have gone further. I'm worried about it disappearing altogether under a filter and a layer of varnish...
Guy

Thanks for the tutorial on the salt tecnique Guy, the results are excellent.
Des.

Guy,
I'm quite impressed with your results weathering with salt. I've used similar techniques to weather WWII aircraft many times in the past but I've got admit I'd never thought of using this on WWI aircraft before now. Thank you sharing this technique my old friend.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
-
That looks great Guy.
I have experimented with this technique, but have yet to employ it on an actual build due to a recurring issue with white staining in my clear coat from salt residue. I mostly shoot Tamiya acrylic paints, and have tried a variety of top coats (Alclad Aqua & lacquers, Tamiya X-22 and XF-86, and Vallejo's acrylic matte coat. Occasional white spots in all, despite a thorough washing with warm soap and water after removing the salt. Unlike you, I thin my Tamiya with isopropyl alcohol, so perhaps that is part of the problem? Either way, your results are terrific.
Your build continues to impress.
Chris

LIKE!

Now you tell me Chris... :o
Thanks for the heads up though, I'll have to experiment on this I reckon, would be galling to mess it up at the final hurdle!
Guy
-
Sorry Guy, I didn't mean to scare you! I am sure it is something particular to my process since I have seen numerous examples of other people's work where the results are very effective (like those shown above). It was more an expression of "I wish I could do that..."
Chris
-
Not at all Chris, grateful for the heads up, but...
I'm toying with the idea of stripping the wing back to plastic :o I've done a couple of filters and feel that I've rather spoilt it now. Once again, a little step too far. It's lost the dappled effect and just looks a bit messy now. Not really what I had in mind. I also masked all the ribs but was struggling to make these seen for some reason. In retrospect, I should have started with a light, creamy yellow as a base and then masked the ribs prior to the other effects... :P
Oh well. I'm away at work this coming week - I may just leave it for the time being and reflect..
Guy
-
Hi Guy!!!
Great to see you tackling down "salt" method ;) so much potential there... I used same technique on my submarine but I have definitely learnt my lesson and next time I will follow your instruction and use hairdryer... that might spare me some time ;)
Cheerio
Lukas
-
Sorry to hear that things aren't quite working out with the salt technique,
Ian. On the good side, I am a great believer in stripping back and coming
up with something you are really happy with. just a little bump in the road,
my friend!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Sorry to hear you aren't happy with current progress, Guy, but am sure you will have it up to you excellent standards in short order.
Chris
-
Thanks chaps,
I thought I may have a final blitz on the wings, thinking I can can always strip them later if it didn't work out...
Not too bad - a very faded, worn look intended. What do you reckon? Stick with that and varnish the colours in? I'm leaning towards that option at the moment. I added some streaking and re did the salt...

WOW, that is so cool. I'll have to think some on trying this but the effects just blow me away on your build. Very very nice.

I really wasn't sure but your opinions have helped a lot, thanks.
I'll stick with that then.
Guy
-
I reckon it looks good Guy.
Just sit with it for a couple of days if you're not sure.
Another thing to try is look at the pics through a black and white filter and see if it looks like the subject.
If you are happy then no-one can say for sure that your interpretation is wrong?
The salt technique has given a subtle patina to the finish which looks great too.
-
The result you achieved looks good to my eyes, I would go with it.
Des.
-
I think you have done great with the faded wings, Guy. Anything more would
be in my opinion too much. That is a really good effect, my friend!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Thanks Dave, Des & Ernie,
Your advice has helped a lot. I've just glossed to seal it all in and the effects have all but disappeared!
I can report that I had no salt staining issues but being forewarned - I really cleaned it well in a hot soapy bath! I also read somewhere online that Laquer prevents this effect, so I used Tamiya Clear with about a 60:40 ratio with Tamiya Laquer thinners. Not a hint of any trouble.
Hope that helps anyone else..

I love it too! Keep it.

Decalling and final coat of varnish on.
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/e3cbc920ef96b91b50de527a4fc73f52.jpg)
Bizarrely, I had the old seam issue again :P how this keeps cropping up is a mystery to me. There wasn't a hint of a seam even under a spotlight and magnification, but during the decalling it just appeared! Had to sand it all down again and repaint ??? I think I've just about got away with it.
The salt technique is still all but invisible, as are the rib effects - I'm glad I spent an afternoon masking... :-\ note for next time - I'll have to really exaggerate it so as to be almost cartoon like.
I'm up to the fun bit now - clicking all the bits together!
Guy
-
Gorgeous!
-
Guy, that looks great!
Funny you should mention the curious phenomenae of appearing seams.
Had similar on a couple of builds- the Hansa Brandenberg being one that springs to mind.
I leave them for a bit now to settle and the paint to cure and shrink and then take another look to see if all is well.
I guess there must be some slow movement over time whilst everything dries, cures and contracts?
Anyway, your Hannover is looking splendid.
Dave :)
-
Beautiful work Guy!
RAGIII

I have been plagued by reappearing seams since day one, Guy. As Dave said, a
curious phenomenon indeed! As for the look of the Hannover, I think it looks
an absolute gem. The whole trainer colour scheme is such a change and it is great,
my friend!
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Your Hannover is looking gorgeous Guy.
Des.

Striking scheme, await final pics !
Ed

First, as others have stated, your Hannover looks gorgeous. Your efforts have paid of from where I am sitting.
Second, I have experienced that exact issue: I had the upper fuselage seam re-appear on my Eindecker build after I had applied decals and the final matte coat. Miserable. I just used cyano in the manner that Justin suggests for the first time on my Bristol, and I have to say, it was much easier to deal with than multiple rounds of filler and sanding. Hopefully it will solve the reappearance issue as well.

Great work Guy.

Not hugely detailed... Bo & Bertl, please look away :P
Re the seam, it had been left to dry for a week before I originally sanded, and when it came back, it was slightly raised. Goodness knows how that works.. And, yes, I add a trail of glue over the top too. ???

Awesome!

Good grief, Guy, you're macro is much friendlier than mine! ;D I am just
blown away by your Hannover, even at this stage. The thing that really
impressed me was the undercarriage generator. Are the mounting straps
and bolts separate parts? Also the paint and weathering on the wheels are
totally believable. Is the red a mixture? Lovely stuff, my friend.
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Ernie - the generator and bolts are the kit part, all I've done is to add the two straps with masking tape and add the wire with copper monofilament. With red I always add a splash of burnt umber to tone down the colour.
