Good update Terri, I really like the weathering effects you've done. Great fix on the markings.The disintegrating decal thing is traumatic but you've done a great repair job. I'm sure all the other little fixes will be perfect too.

I really like the weathering, especially on the wings. It looks so real!
This Flory wash seems to be great stuff, need to look, where to order this here.

Cheers,
Frank

Guten Tag Frank ,

Flory has their own web site . Not sure if you can get it in Germany . They are based in the UK . Here is their site

https://www.florymodels.org/

Been using these now for about five years now and they are super to work with and very easy !

Glad you like the wings on how they turned out , not sure about looking real though  ;)

Frank,

You can ordre them via Breveco Models in Holland https://brevecomodelling.nl/product-categorie/gereedschap/flory-models/washes/
Michi got his directly from Flory models in te UK, so this is also a possible way.

Terri, I am really keen on seeing your Hansa Brandenburg finished. It’s an extraordinary model!

Thanks Andreas  :)


Well progress has been slow but I did get the center struts repaired and glued in place along with the exhaust . Rudder is fixed in place awaiting for the control cables . Wheels are repaired and even this fought me all the way with paint lifting after removing the mask after spraying the tires grey . The upper rear part of the struts I had to move the mounting holes on the fuselage ... so filling and sanding was needed , that is now fixed as well . I still need to seal the rear tail plane struts , some how I missed doing this earlier .

Real nice work on the metal fittings on the fuselage. The over-painted effect with the 3 over the factory painted serial number is great and your wood finish ices the cake.

There is something fundamentally amiss with a society which forces it's modelers to work for a living.

Thanks SP ,

Just finished off the control wires for the tail and the lower wings are now fixed in place . Waiting for the glue to harden up and I can start mounting the star struts . Landing gear is finished up as well and is drying from it's final seal coat . So it's coffee break !
