Hello!
before painting I had a few things to do:
put the attachment:
it's russian "gonza" photoetched for the attachments and part "bristol scout" photoetched for the turnbuckles.
same thing on the upper side:
then I started to paint, using a mix of seal colour and white...
I did'nt like to much the result: too much stone color, too cold.
however I forgot some elements so it was not a problem:
the wooden little stick along the fuselage and a little cyano to make volume in the turnbuckles:
the joystick end who appears under the fuselage:
then I repainted with radome color mixed with white:
in this pic you can compare the two colors in the wings:
here is what the David and mike granddad reproduction actually look like:
the wing is very transparent , much more than the old pics shows
anyway I want to try a transparency effect under the wings...
I used "earth" paint, and overspray ith the same base mix. Well the result is not perfect , but the work is not ended, there are two different color coat to be add.
than I passed a new coat with radome pure, particulary toward the trailing edges:
I have to add a sand brown coat, now.
in the upper side I will repaint the ribs in a very light color:
(this is my 1264)
