I started with painting the fuselage CDL bits. I`ve sprayed them with XF-57 mixed with brown and white, in order to make them less uniform.
I`ve also tried something new - I wanted to give the texture to the painted CDL, so using the crayons I`ve simulated the fabric weave.

Nice effect so far . I have been using them for some time for different effects . How hard this crayon , is it soft or hard ?

Superb start, Filip. The Taube is a beautiful and elegant aircraft. I will watch with interest. Really cool idea to simulate the fabric texture by crayons. I wil try this with the CDL of my Camel.

The woodgrain has been painted using the watercolour crayons, both clear orange and yellow as well as the oils. I`ve also sprayed and weathered the engine firewall. (Ammo`s effects).

Thanks a lot!
I carried on with the cockpit. I`ve finished the instrument panel along with the firewall. I`ve replaced the starting magneto with the resin one by Taurus Models. The seats have been painted as well. Finally, before I could proceed with the assembly, I`ve prepared the rudder pedals, the main petrol tank and the control column.

Many thanks Rick!
The cockpit interior section of the Taube is almost completed. I still need to add the interior rigging on the both fuselage halves.

Excellent results, Filip. What are you using for rigging line? Wire? monofilament? or something else?
-
Awesome work as always Filip!

I`m using the EZ-Line FINE here. You can order it from Wingnut Wings but it`s also available at various other online stores.

A artist is doing magical work with his colors here :o
The results are fantastic!

Beautiful!

Interesting texture making techniques, the final look is great.

Thanks a lot!
I`ve worked on the engine. I`ve replaced the camshaft with the resin one by Taurus Models. I`ve also used the HGW seatbelts in the cockpit. It`s time to close the fuselage.

That's one of the most realistic model engine's I've seen - great work Filip. Your detailed work in the fuselage is amazing.
Cheers,

Extremely well done, very realistic!

Wow! You did a real perfect job on detailing the engine. Brilliant!

Great interior. It’s sad to cover it up with the fuselage walls.

Just add oil... :o
Amazing detail - well done!!

What a joy to see your Taube come together! Great work!!
-
Great work, Filip. All the detail work is fantastic. The engine cylinders look especially good.
-
Thanks a lot for your extremely kind words!!!
Time for another update.
The fuselage halves are closed. I`ve also painted the airframe. The wings and the tailplane were a challenge. I wanted to make them to appear transluscent as in the reference pictures. It took a lot of kabuki tape and some patience. But I think it was worth the effort. Many thanks to Krzysztof Tengli for the masks for the markings - they were absolutely great!
Time for weathering and undercarriage.

You know, I've seen a lot of people playing with this technique and to me it usually looks false
This looks absolutely spot on - I may have to change my opinion on this!
Really nice work
Richard

I can only echo Richard's assessment of your efforts to produce a translucent effect Filip, you've nailed it! Nicely done all round, this is already a spectacular model.
Cheers,
Lance
-
A difficult look to achieve, especially with the Taube's wing being so thin at the outer trailing edge.
Masterfully done,
Mike
-
The best translucent effect I‘ve ever seen, absolutely well done! And thank you for showing your technique, Filip!
Highest regards
Jörg
-
I echo the praise! Brilliant work!
/Fredrik

Yes, very good paint work. It gives the impression of depth in the wing.
-
+1 for the Filip fan club ;)
Superb CDL work. Amazing!

I certainly can't say anything that has not been said. I will just say AWESOME!

Fantastic paintjob! Thank you for showing us how to do this.

The woodgrain has been painted using the watercolour crayons, both clear orange and yellow as well as the oils. I`ve also sprayed and weathered the engine firewall. (Ammo`s effects).
How do you use water colors to make the wood grain. It looks very convincing and I'm sure it dries much faster than oils even with the additive.

Many thanks for your kind words!
Since the last update I`ve attached the engine bay rigging using the Gaspatch 1/48 scale turnbuckles and EZ line. When it comes to the landing gear I`ve used the fishing line instead of the EZ line - it gives so much to the structural rigidity of the undercarriage. Finally, I could use the absolutely magnificent Steven Robson`s spoked wheels. They are like little jewels, I can only hope my model is worth them. And finally, the radiators have been installed.

Simply wonderful. What a pretty dove!

Very nice work Filip,
Are you going to seal the deal by adding a prop from Properplane?
Steven’s wheels take these builds into a different league.
Best wishes,
Dave

Fantastic work on your Taube, Filip.

Exceptional detailing Filip, what an absolutely beautiful model!
