I like to live dangerously... ;D ;D ;D

but, hey, it works!
it holds, so I put on the last rigging,
8821

and some details, like the step.
8815

the next... step should have been painting wheels and building controls ailerons, but tonight I did not really want, so I have just a little fun with oily dirt.
starboard,
8830

port,
8831

under belly.
8817

and that's it.
8832

I'm pretty close to the end. now I am thinking also to a base surface that will enhance the painting... maybe a green short cut grass with just some blue flowers?
bye, p. ;)

Stunning work! I am extremely impressed by those who take the time to turn Roden kits into kits rivaling WNW!

The model is gorgeous! I plan to try as many of your weathering and finishing techniques as possible on my future possible.

Great work Paolo, this is a beauty of a Build! The oil stains on the "belly" are very well done; it all has come together very well.
Cheers,

thank you all!
well, less than minor interventions and various retouches you'll want to tell me, I here testify it

                                                                                              f i n i s h e d .

of course, I have to attach it to a base, and in a hurry, because these things are an embarrassing weakness, but the model is complete in and of itself, I think.

some pictures, just to enjoy? ;D
8843

nothing new, you'll say. what has changed?
little stuff: added the aileron controls, and its rigid rods.
8851

the same from below. I also added an aldis aiming device model on vickers. actually, in photos you do not see many, this is the only one I could find a picture!
8859

I completed the cart with the rubber elastic..
8866

and switched back to colors. mud and other crap on his belly, trying to follow the helical flow due to the propeller.
8865

on the upper surfaces, as well as dirt from the exhaust, I did the usual dots with oils. given the special livery, I kept on color "light": just yellow and white.
8872

maybe it's not so readable, but the right wing root bears the marks of the exhaust..
8873

which then extends on the right side.
8876

and that's it. clear prop, contact!
8884


well...
0650

bye bye, p. ;)

Great work. The weathering is perfect for a noop just back from a mission.

She's absolutely gorgeous, Paulo!  From the detailing to the painting, shading and weathering, you've created a masterpiece.  Congratulations, my friend.
