Okay!I painted the white fuselage band and rudder.next step is to peel off the tape on the canopy and see how it looks. Okay I painted the rudder and the fuselage band. Next up:Peel off the tape on the canopy and see how it looks!
It’s Looking Real Good Philo. I have a 1/32 Storch about 80% done myself. It is such a realestate monster I hardly have room to work on it. Keep up the exellent work [tup] Your last Post has kind of an echo to it [:-^]
Yes for a 1/72 scale kit I think it is pretty well-done.I just hope that the canopy structure is strong enough to support the wings properly!
Neat-0
Good work on that, Flitty little pest!
Well I peeled off the masking tape and she looks pretty good!Next I will Future the fuselage and wings.I will allow the Future to cure and then apply decals.
Great work there Philo. Camo looks spot on and the canopy looks faultless. Keep it up fella.
…Guy
Thanks!I have a feeling this little Storch may just come out allright!
Looks Great Philo, Question - How do you keep your little Alligator Clips from leaving Bite Marks ? [BG]
Well the alligator clips are old and they hold without leaving any marks!I like to use the base and clips because I can pan and tilt the model to any angle for painting,even upside down!
I put the decals on yesterday and they went down and responded to Microset and Microsol just fine.However,the crosses on the wings and fuselage were too thin and the white ouitlines turned gray upon appllication to the model.So I put on additional decals that I had on hand and they now look much better.Unfortunately no Balkenkruzes (Swastikas)were included on the decal sheet so I had to hand[-paint them!Not an easy task I assure you!
That looks great, the camo is awesome!
Which Balkenkreuz did you have to paint? I can’t tell a difference.
Well I think I mixed up my terminolgy,I meant to say the swastikas on the rudder!
Perhaps the word you wanted was Hakenkreuz ? [;)] Very nice job Philo, I would of had to used frisket paper as I cant hand paint worth a [censored]…
Yes no matter how careful I was I still had to touch it up multiple times to get a decent result!
Looking great Philo. [tup] [8D] ART
I added the wings today and the wing support struts.I used epoxy for the wing/cabin joint and turned the model upside[-down to install the struts.The landing gear looks to be difficult as the struts are 3 seperate pieces that have to be aligned just so.The instructions are somewhat vague so I must take great care that they are installed properly.
Philo, What Book are you using there for Reference ?
Any chance that would be “Hitler’s Luftwaffe” by Bill Gunston?
Found that book by accident in my college library. Such an awesome reference. Features EVERY aircraft built by the Nazi Luftwaffe, and usually includes a three-view for each, even the very obscue.
In any case, really nice work on the Storch. Makes me want to start mine…
Man-o-man does that small model have a lot of parts! Great work so far!
