Under Construction / Re: 1:32nd scale Caudron G.3 (Anzani engine)
« Last post by Mike Norris (UK) on June 27, 2025, 05:22:01 AM »
Hi all,
Just a few things to show.
The wood effect has been applied to the tail booms and struts.
Tamiya Dark Yellow (XF60) base coat with brushed Windsor&Newton Griffin Alkyd oil paint (Burnt Umber).
The upper surfaces of the wings, tailplane and elevators have been painted.
As have the two fin/rudders.
These will have Aviattic Weave Effect Linen decal (ATT32044) applied later in the build.

Now to repeat the masking and painting on the underside surfaces !!

Mike

The stipple looks very convincing! I very much look forward to the fuselage  ;D

Thanks Ben - hope my described process was helpful.

After closing up the fuselage I tried my best to mask in and around the engine. The cockpit was easy with some chunks of soft sponge for that. I knew there would be some touch-ups to do near the engine & MG with overspray almost inevitable there. The pattern of stipple was applied with the thicker paint mixture of cloudy yellow airbrushed at about 9psi in short, sharp bursts with the nozzle at a wide enough setting to get the desired effect.
Cheers,
Gary


Randomly applied coloured patches mixed as per the instructions sheet using the XF-71 as the base.


The finished stipple pattern applied (which is less prominent after a gloss coat added later).


Over-spray on the engine, MG and struts would be touched up later.

Really like your series of Movie & TV builds Allan - and this one is another winner. Nicely done indeed. I love those old box tops with terms like 1/4 Inch Scale, and Free Display Stand etc.

Rick - that is really nice. I remember as a youngster watching the series Twelve O-clock High and always admired the look of a B-17. You've done an outstanding job on this one. Cheers!

Amazing. I have no words....
Did you have to go with standard size main bearings or scale 10thou over?.....

This is really taking shape. Another flying birdcage!

Either I am obsessive about real aeroplanes or I am mad - probably the latter if the truth be known....!
I think obsession and madness are very close relatives......... ;)
