That looks huge already! I have the 1:32 one. Might have to sell it though... probably too big for the space that I have. BTW, the winter camo looks absolutely stunning. I am thinking of doing this on Erich Hartmann's Bf 109, with a winter camo with the hairspray technique

Hi Peter I use a Tamiya scribing tool, a pin scribe and Dymo tape to keep the lines straight.

I also use those for the scribing I do as well. The more pressure you apply, the broader the line. Scratch it on the surface and you will get a fine line

Hi Ian


Great finish to a superb build. The Heinkel looks great, and whilst this build might be OOB, what with the rescribe and the multi-layered paint scheme, this was far from straight forward.


Gong for sure


Cheers

I just got me one of those Tamiya Scribers..... £ 5.00 inc delivery. Bargain!!! So now I'll see how many models I can wreck with it.

Yes a great tool especially as you can get spare blades.


Very nice model Ian. Some very precise work there. Looks to me as though Panzer putty works well as I could not see the precise work you have achieved with blue or white tack. Tha cmouflage must have driven you mad.

Brilliant job Ian. I think the winter camo has got a few of us thinking.

Great He 111 camo looks awesome so does the base/stand

Thank you all for the great comments

Another great addition to your collection Ian.
I know the Panzer putty worked well, but is it any better than using blue tack? It looks very expensive in comparison so is it worth the extra pennies?

Richi - you added your 'Great build' doodad to my post instead of Ian's! Much as I'd like to add it to my collection, could one of the mods move it to the right place please?

Very nice Ian it looks great I do like a winter scheme of a plane and that's very well done

[Steve Brodie]

Fantastic stuff, excellent weathering and its own roped off display area in your garden as well

Hi Dave the other stuff I was on about is called Clever Putty and it retails at around £5 to £7 so a lot cheaper than Panzer Putty but does the same job

Currently on holiday in the wilds of Scotland, but had to log in and say... My, that looks good! It's nice to see a wheels up version on a good stand, and the camp is superb. Well done!
