A9 "Amerika Rocket" by Special hobby in1/72
« on: April 03, 2013, 10:02:12 AM »
hi,as its my first post on here,im normally hanging in the real space section of Britmodeller,but it gets a bit lonely at times,lol,i thought i,d put this recent build on,hope you likeit,ive included a few build and box shots to start with,i dont know your procedures yet,if this is not right,let me know,enjoy,i did...











primed






filled



wish we had had this a few years ago?



rough idea of camo





btw,this is the launch platform that comes with the kit,normally used for V2 launches,as the A9 was the third stage rocket of a bigger mother,its not required.





























alongside its predecssor



and a rough idea of where it sat,on top of a very saturnish looking rocket,not suprising really as they were both designed by the same bloke.



sorry it was a bit pic heavy,enjoy  cheers Don

Paint scheme is sweet  :)
In what order and how were paints applied (masked?) ?

That camo is wicked man!  Do tell how you did it please.

Can't wait to see what you have planned for the other rockets  :)

Hmmm...I wonder about a version configured for Recon and returnable/recoverable similar to the Sanger Spaceplane.
