Hey folks!
This E1 build represent ‘Yellow 10’ from II/JG 54 during the latter part of the Battle of Britain
The pics are a little fuzzy, but I’m working on getting decent lighting to solve that[:)]
As always, any opinions are very welcome, whether they be positive or negative[:D]
Hey, it looks great! I especally like the paint sceme, very well done on that. [tup][tup] Keep up the good work!
you might want to put that one in a case Sean… wouldn’t want me to drool too much on it would ya! [;)] fantastic build!!!
—edit—
what do you use for your weathring, pastels oils or watercolor? really a good job on it!!!
Thanks guys, appreciate it[:D]
The weathering is basic as.
I tried all the pre and post shading stuff, but could never get it to look ‘right’
SO my shading is done purely with Tamiya smoke, thinned quite harshly, and just built up over time.
I spray some shading on, and look at the result under different lights, to see just how the effect appears, and if it needs more it gets more.
The wash is MM Raw Umber for the top sections, and oil paints for the lower areas that are open to more dirt etc.
This gives a bit more of a reality boost IMHO.
After that, it’s just some pastels for exhaust stains, and a custom mix flat coat.
Graphite plays a large part on the exhaust manifold itself, to give the metallic look.
Basic, but effective I think[:D]
Very Nice Sean! That paint job turned out beautifully and the weathering is just right. Tom is not the only one drooling!!!
Impresive, most impresive (in Darth Vader voice)!
That is a spectacular build and a wonderful finish!!![tup]
Thanks for sharing /Johan

Thad

Excellent work! What canopy did you use, it looks wonderfully clear.
beautiful Sean, the paint is unbelievable!
Steve
Very impressive build Sean! I especially like the camo on the bird, not the same old blotch thing. I like the way you do a well used set of guns!
sean i am floored. great stuff. nice work.
joe
Very nice work, love the weathering.
Very nice. I was wondering, is that a lighter shade of paint on the edges of the fuselage pattern?
Awesome, that’s one neat paint job you got there!!!
Great work. I really like it.

Beautiful work and an intersting paint scheme. Worthy of any model mag cover in my opinion.
Look forward to seeing more of your work.
Dan

Thanks for all your replies folks, [8)], humbling.
The camo scheme was definately different from the usual mottling, which is why I chose this one to model.
It comprises of RLM 65 underneath and along the side of the fuse. The splinter scheme is RLM 71 and 02, which also makes up the camo along the fuselage, mainly RLM 71 infilled with RLM 02.
The 02 is slightly harder to see, at least in the pic, but does break up the lines ofthe a/c, which is probably why JG54 chose it.
