SE.5a "Hisso" Wingnut Wings
« on: December 07, 2014, 01:31:12 AM »
Hello

I discovered the Wingnut Wings kit with this plane and I must say that it is definitely the kit with whom I have the greatest pleasure to realize!

It is for me, of all the kits I did, certainly the most successful!

Gorgeous!  The first pic looks like it's sitting on the flight line at TVAL or Duxford. ;D. Outstanding modeling.

Cheers & huzzas,

Bob

I must say that your SE5a is Beautiful! I am getting ready to start work on the Roden kit and will look at your WNW version for inspiration!!

I too thought that the first photo was of a real machine. You have outstanding modelling skills and your finishes are second to none.

Gruson,
   That is a beautiful SE5a. I really like your shading, detail, and the rust highlights on the exhaust. Your "clean" paintwork is also exceptional. Very nice work all around and a model to be truly proud of!
Cheers,
Lance

And no wonder. Absolutely stunning finish!

Wow, this is an awesome SE.5a

A model thrives on its overall impression and not on that every little disagreement over the original is hyped up as a disaster

That really looks fantastic - what a fine build!

Your PC10 color and weathering in particular looks very good - can you please share the paints you use and the process to achieve the shading/weathering?

Truly extraordinary SE5a, Michel!  She's stunning.  I, too, would like to learn of your weathering/shading technique.
Cheers,
