Wayne's Award Winning Models

[Karl Sitts]

At the request of the "Minister of Whoopass".. Dan da Man! ....and Sir "Older than Dirt" Charles..the Ccheese....

I begin post number 4000 with some of my models that have managed to do well at some of our local and interstate Model Expo's...hope you enjoy them!

I will begin with one of my favourites and recent winners, placing first in the Large Scale Propellor driven Category in Adelaide and First in the Large Scale Open category in the Australian Championships in Melbourne.

The aircraft is a Hasegawa 1/32 Scale Focke Wulf Fw190A-5 flown by the Staffelkapitan of 9/JG 2 Josef Wurmheller in 1943.

It was a spur of the moment build that I started and finished in 1 month in October 2006 for the SA comp which was held at the end of the same month.
A solid 4 week build that I finished on the eve of the competition.

Starting with the cockpit.....the one extra shoulder strap being added at the end of the build before the canopy was attached.

Wayne Little, I love your work! Lots more to follow, I hope!

that looks beautiful wayne, i like the little symbol on the rear rudder

You mean the Decoration? as in my Avatar...

This represents the award of the "Oak Leaves" to the "Knight's Cross" after the pilots 60th Victory. The background Roundel and Red Star are representative of the nationality of victories over British and Russian aircraft, while the bars below are of victories after the Oak leaves award, to the present.

.....More to follow Karl!

Love the way the tail sits Wayne, like the whole attitude looks great.

You ever considered throwing some photos Frank Morgans way from Model Art?

 

[ccheese]

How do you get the access panels [see the tail on the last pic] to stand
out so well ? Also on the next to last pic, the access for the wing guns.
What's your secret, Mate ?

It is called a wash, Charles.It is a kind of very very diluted black,brown, grey etc... paint.To be honest it is a dirty thinner only which is used for applying to the engraved panel lines.Used with a technique named pre-shading, gives the effect.Unless I'm wrong.

 

[Heinz]

Wojtek is on the money.

Its amazing how a wash can bring out a model's detail.

 

[Wayne Little]

Sorry.....No washes....
