Thanks-very happy it did not go to the way of my Ta 152! Anyway, the Ta 152 taught me to not apply pin washes like ceramic washes  :$

A quick question John - what is a 'ceramic wash'?

[Guest]

Wonderful modelling.


I love everything about this.

That's the wash where you spread it all over and wipe it off after a few hours. I am pretty sure Flory does a whole range of it, HGW does some and UMP do it as well. They are usually clay based. However, I have found that the MIG washes are a lot better if going for the weathered look as they allow great precision and control for streaking, highlighting etc

Wonderful modelling.


I love everything about this.

Thanks mate


Cheers, John

I get you!  I thought it was probably that, but I've never heard it described as such - thanks

Hi mate, so this must have been done just after I went AWOL. So you did a eduard D9 in 1/48 is this your first? I can't remember.
It's nice mate very nicely finished indeed brings frustrating memories of my Red 1 back but I loved the challenging build and the results are great if you persevere like you have here aren't they?
I still have the one I purchased from your good self mate remember? The profipak.
Maybe we'll do a friendly build off, fancy it?
