I thought the same Vic, then I saw the few on the landing doors.. he might be talking about those, or all of them!

Thanks Corey, now I see, don't they give you the shits leaving marks like that, especially on the outside.

So next question Wayne………...I note you have little bits of spruce cut up, do you use that in some way to plug the ejection marks and if so, in the immortal words of a particular Aussie politician 'please explain.'

No Vic I don't use the sprues, although that's not a bad idea....

Each piece as shown has 4 of the little [email protected] sand them down with a small strip of sandpaper wrapped around the end of a piece of sprue and if they are a bit too deep some Tamiya filler or a drop of superglue...then sanding again....friggin pain in the @ss man!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Damn, thought you would have some magic formula to take the pain out cleaning up ejection marks. Oh well, will just have to keep filling and filing.

Great work so far Wayne!

Especially when they obliterate details like the raised rivets and hydraulic lines like in this case.

Nice stuff Wayne

The detail in the bays is pretty much intact...the raised detail on the doors.....well, took the lot off, at the end of the day, nobody's gonna take any notice of what may have been there....

Hi Wayne found this, while i was just brosing the net, out of bordem

 

[A4K]

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Keith!

Evan, the colours mentioned for this type of overspray pattern are RLM 02 'Grey' or RLM 76 'Lt. Blue-Grey'

From available photo's of late war He111's it looks like RLM 76 to me......

got the wings together and in the sanding phase....

 

[A4K]

Looking good Wayne!

What do you reckon of the scheme Keith found? Looks like the wave pattern camouflage similar to that used on Fw 200s and other ocean-going aircraft...unusual to see it applied on the upper surfaces though.

When I was working on my Widow, I lost a few raised details also but I figured out how to put them back with tape and elmers glue. I just masked the area I wanted a line and put a line of glue down. Once the glue was set, I pulled up the tape the the detail was restored. Works ok with rivets to but apply with a needle tip so the dot isn't too big. As always, experiment first but if it doesn't work right, a cotton Q-tip and water will remove it.

 

[A4K]

Great idea mate!

 

[Airframes]

I've missed out on this for awhile Wayne, but cracking job so far. It looks fairly hefty, and I'm trying to visualise the bulk of the beast in 1/32nd scale.....!

 

[Lucky13]

[Wayne Little]
