WNW Junkers J.1 and Aviattic
« on: March 25, 2017, 05:07:32 AM »
Here's my build of the Wingnut Wings Junkers J.1, the first kit issued by WNW and still in production. I purchased this kit when it first came out, and it sat on the Shelf of Doom for  five or six years. I used Aviattic decals for the first time, and I loved how strong, resilient, and tolerant they were! Painted with Tamiya acrylics, Vallejo Metal colors, and oils, with a combination of Flory washes, oil washes, and pastels, with some chipping with a Prismacolor pencil.


Cheers,  Tom

Superb model: what a shame it had to wait so long before completion. Well worth the wait though.

Steve and Stephen,

Thanks! It was 80% completed, and I needed to get it done. It was gratifying seeing it through to completion.

Just great. I simply love the Junkers and you made a pretty color sheme. Very convincing!

Beautiful job, Tom!  This is my favorite J.I scheme.

The Junkers is maybe the one WNW kit that I thought wasn't worth building. You may have changed that. Very nice, love the scheme, like the colours. Thanks for sharing
