Blohm & Voss..ish thingy.
« on: April 30, 2020, 10:59:31 PM »
Now I'm getting better I've found I've run out of so many things so put an order in....ETA May-ish; J1N on hold so I've started on a project I've been thinking about for awhile. Got the base kits and parts at least. Something similar to this should be the result, but who knows :

Pretty much Trumpy Hornet fuselage and Trumpy Me509 wings...wing intakes from Hornet cut into 509 wings...other odds and sods from the spares box. Not too happy with the prop mount so might change that; currently tacked on with blu-tack.

I was going to ask you what program you used to do the 3D renders until I saw that it was real plastic... glad you're beating the 'rona.

Getting there...spent some time staring at the rear section (as one does) before deciding to change tack:





Starting to look like one of those Gottlingerburger doo-dahs from the jolly old 3rd Reich!

Looking good.  That scheme points to something other than Luftwaffe though...

Not Luftwaffe, no. I'm rather fond of Japanese schemes so...:







Departure for me as I'm not fond of shark-mouth etc cobblers but this one felt right. Waiting on some Hinomaru sheets amongst an earlier order so the underwing roundels are missing. Still some touch-ups here and there to do so varnishing will have to wait.

Lord but I do hate brush-painting yellow  :-X
