Jeannin Stahltaube - a scratchbuild in 1/144 scale

[WD]

Such wonderful work and your finish is so solidly neat and crisp. I'm never not amazed.

I agree completely with WD! I am certain the swirl on those side panels on the cowl will look Fantastic!

The question begs to be asked, seeing these wonders in 1/144, what could you do with 1/72??? Working compass and rev counter?

[KiwiZac]

Truly spectacular!!

Been away and am catching up. More miracles in modelling.... I am thinking of taking up another hobby altogether.

Thank you again! It's always such a pleasure to be able to post here 
I think this is always my favourite part of a build, when the main parts are painted and all the little extra details can be added. Each new detail isn't much on its own but they really start to add up.

Oh Boy...oh boy.....Words are pointless! All I can think of is precision engineering!

[lone modeller]

I agree that bringing all of the sub-assemblies together on a scratch build is the best part. All of the effort - or in your case, magic - starts to become worthwhile.

That is absolutely beautiful, a real joy to look at. How did you source the decals? Or did you paint the markings.....?

[William Adair]

Unfortunately, there's not much love for 1/144 among decal manufacturers and I had to print the markings myself. I first used a square of plain white, then printed the crosses and codes onto clear decal film. If I print in grayscale the quality is quite good.

Simply amazing what you do in this scale…. These are the Fabergé eggs of modelling!

Cheers

I guessed you might have to do that. These turned out very nice, and that's interesting about printing in grayscale. A very helpful tip.
