Special Hobby Lloyd C.V 1/48

[Bughunter]

The PE in the back ground is Tom's Model Work PE German WW1 gun set in 48 scale . I have a few of these sets and in the British WW 1 guns . Have you tried these before ?

Thank you for the info. No, I never had a set or was aware of it. I just checked the Scalemates database and find more, but hard to find here in Europe.

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks Gary 

Frank , I  might be able to help you with that ...


I was able to get a bit of airbrushing done today . The wooden base colour is applied on both upper/lower surfaces . I used Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan and made a start on black basing the tail feathers . The next side will be sprayed tomorrow . For the next wooden shade will be a bit darking picking out different panels . More on this later when things dry ... I also finished drilling the struts for pins , just have to glue them in and finishing the rest of the details .

Making good progress Terri. The wood finish on your other models is first class - I expect this one will be too.

This is shaping up to be another great Terri build. Love the careful preparation you always do.

Thanks guys for the kind comments and for following along 

Okay , it turned out to be one lazy weekend in front of the bench . Raining all weekend and took in many naps ! Got the pins fixed in place and and the rest of the clean up but that is as far as got . Turning my attention back to masking I sprayed the next shade of wood picking out every other panel using Tamiya Desert yellow . This should bring better constrat to the wood paneling breaking up the uniforum colour of just the one shade . With the rain we had this weekend it will take a bit longer for the paint to fully cure before the next stage ...graining  The other side of the tail feathers is also sprayed black and is set aside to cure .

The varying shades should make a great base for the wood tones Terri. I am looking forward to the next step.

Getting more interesting with each update!

Good progress, Terri.  It's coming together well.

This is going to look so sweet, Terri!  I can see that beautiful shiny mahogany looking like a Chris*Craft speedboat.   Carry on!

Best,

Bob

Looking forward to seeing your wood grain effect now the base colours are down. It's going to look amazing!

[lone modeller]

With wood grain effect on those base coats the wings should look very different. Certainly worth the effort to break up a monotonous colour - it will look much more realistic.

Thanks guys 

I'm shooting for the same effect on the Hansa-Brandenburg D1 , or very close too it ..so on that note out comes the pencil crayrons
