Hi,

Just realized that before my last Roden kit build I have started this one thus some thread is required.
Received this kit form Xmald together with decals some time ago and as decided to do Roden/Eduard's engine comparison in latest thread one can say the Eduard’s kit was started as well.
No doubt it is high time to proceed with the rest of the Eduard assembly now :)
Ps. Will use some Aviattic decals as well ;)








regards

The engine work is outstanding as is the cockpit! Simply beautiful results.

K,
    Your cockpit is amazing detail for 1:48 Scale, and very clean work as well. Great start to what should prove to be a very nice Build. I'll enjoy following this one.
Cheers,
Lance

well, how to explain this oldfasion way..take sheet of paper, adjust the angle of its edge to the surface and spray by moving the sheet with some sequence. then change the paint and follow first steps until you get the expected outcome.
You can do left -right approaches ..if you know what I mean..
pathetic explanation..shame on me:)

    You've captured the "streaking" effect very nicely K, I really like the results. It looks slightly faded and diffuse just as the photos we see of it, nice work!

Looks great! Your spaying method is interesting. I might give it a try on some plastic sheet to see how I do  8)

Hmm, the moving sequence I have't understand yet complete yet, but for me it's the "method of the year"! Great result, and be able to do it with airbrush instead of a brush seems to have advantages. Thank you very much!

Cheers,
