DFW C.V (mid Production) - WnW 1/32

[Rafael Berlin]

Thanks Willem and Andreas!




Hello everyone,

a small update from my side. I started with some wood. Basically parts were airbrushed with Tamiya XF-57 "Buff". Afterwards treatment with aquarell pen (Van-Dyck-Brown) and a wet brush. For the wood color I chose a varnish from clear orange (12 drops) and black X1 (1 drop). Darker parts received more varnish. In the last step I coated with clear matt varnish.




Same for other wood parts. Here comes the dashboard.



Dry fit of some unfinished parts






Best Regards,
Rafael

Impressive details on the parts - and impressive paint of those details
If you continue that way this will be a great model!

Cheers,

Beautiful work, especially the wood grain! I will have to try to get some of those pens and remember to try the clear orange and black mix!

Hi Rafael,

Best,

Thanks to all of you for your kind words

Exceptional work Rafael!  I love the wood, lots of depth and character. I would be vey interested to hear how you use those water colour pencils to achieve that wood effect.  The metal also has an interesting effect, what did you use?

On a side note I was intrigued by your first post re Benz Patent-Motorwagen 1886.  I expect this is the fantastic ICM 1/24 kit.  I'm now at risk of being deviated from WW1 aircraft   But I'll try to hold in the reins.  Though there is a nice build at https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235068197-benz-patent-motorwagen-1886/

Apologies for unintended highjack!  Though I expect the Motorwagon is a stunner from what I see here...

Great build and following with interest as I have the WnW  DFW C.V Late Production in the stash.

Hi Gutzer, thank you very much for your comment.

I will show in one of the next posts with another peace of wood how it works with water pencils.


Honestly I don't know, which metal parts you mean.

• The belt containers were airbrushed black (Vallejo air 71.057). Afterwards I made a dry brush with Mr Metal Color Alminume (218). However, the color was already dry in the vessel. That makes life easier.
• Quite the same with the fuel tank. Airbrushed in black and drybrushed with Mr Metal Color brass (219), also dry in the vessel.
• The hinge of the flap has been painted with a brush. I used a mixture of Vallejo air gun metal (71.072) and Vallejo air black (71.057). Typically a drop of each and mix it for the desired darkness. Very easy to use with a small paint brush. The same I used for the foot "bowls". I don't know the correct name, sorry.
• For small nails in the wood I used a very soft 9B pencil, which is in fact pure graphite.

Regarding the Benz Patent Motorwagen 1886. Yes, you are right, that is the ICM kit 24040. I made a (German) build log https://community.revell.de/viewtopic.php?t=9243. If there are questions regarding details, please ask/PN me. So why don't deviate from aircrafts for some weeks  . I built it within 3 months and it was a lot of fun.


Best whishes for your DFW C.V late 

Kind Regards
Rafael

Hello Rafael,

Very nice and very cleanly cockpit built.
I find the color tones very successful.

Rafael,
          Beautiful work. I wonder if I can achieve the same effect with water color pencils rather than the pens?
I'm looking forward to your post on how you did this.

Hi Rafael, I have a similar doubt to what WD has written: did you use Waterbrush pens or watercolor pencils?

I have the pencils but when I tried to use them, but when I use the brush to lay the orange varnish, it tends to smudge or even remove the (VanDyck) Brown marks

Maybe with airbrush this don't happen!

Thanks for sharing and congratulations for the wonfderful work!
