What's on The Workbench

More progress on the Jeep. Paint weathering done but still needs the decals, steering wheel, spare tire and jerry can.

Nifty little kit. I need to get some more 1/48 vehicles. I have the tractor that came with the B-24.

I'd like to get a few 1/48th vehicles too. Picked this one up years ago when I had an idea for a diorama to match a picture of my dads training squadron. A B-24, two jeeps and over a hundred guys standing on and around the bomber and jeeps. Finished the B-24 and started in on the figured and it was just too much and I lost interest.

Wow! That would be some diorama. I hope you pick it up in the future!

 

[T Bolt]

Yea, maybe after I retire when I have time. One od my first posts here years ago was that B-24 model and the picture of the squadron. I liked it up and its still here

Good stuff glenn.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Glenn that Liberator looks great! Can't believe I missed it before.

Me too - it's a cracker !

Agree with the others. While waiting for things to dry off over in GB27, I thought I would continue on the the captured 109. While trying to figure out a mix for the red in the tail flash, I remembered I had a bottle of craft paint that was reddish brown in color or is that brownish red in colour...

...slapped it on...

...close enough for me.

I'll let this dry and start painting the fuselage.

Looking nice.

 

[Wayne Little]

Pretty good match!

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff Geo - and it's Barn Red ! (Bl**dy silly name for a colour !)

Thanks guys, preliminary painting done. Touch-ups, weathering and figuring out how best to achieve the washed out look of the upper wing roundels. Gas patch to follow.

Thanks Wojtek. Patch and weathering at the wing root. I thought I over did it but the photo shows I need to add more dark.

[Wurger]

Looking good. But you are right you need a little bit more of the "dirt" there.

Getting closer. I'm using Citadel Black Wash and it takes forever to build up.
