    i had been looking for that build for ages. It is an old build and was originally on Large Scale Planes website. It is awesome and there is much to learn from the step by step detail photos. To me it is the mother of all 163's. I strive to achieve such results. Truly magnificent!!!

    Small update...

    First coat of primer applied cheers 

    This put to light all the blemishes in the joint lines and panel lines which were corrected with superglue and sanded down.

    I will leave it as it is for your scruteneering next Wednesday. Finally some hint of light at the end of the proverbial tunnel Very Happy

    Found a little inspiration for you Wayne ... what I do not like are kill marks on a naked plane ... apart that it is quite a unique paint job ... I love it when someone takes a different approach ...

    DEFINITELY it is, but as we discussed at Club yesterday, it could have done "BETTER" without just the kill markings Evil or Very Mad

    But the kill markings were there. That is a cutaway through the paint job instead of through the plane itself to expose the inside. Although i don't like it, it is a great novel idea. I would have liked to have seen the entire plane stripped of paint and not just part of it like that. But that is just my opinion.

    The wood texture are decals by the German company Uschi in 1/32 ... I agree if doing a naked aircraft make it all [did not grab immediately the idea of a split model ...]

    If it is a cutaway in the paint job, then yes the kill markings are in place Twisted Evil

    Marco & we all at Club on Wed, when we discussed this photo, didn't realise it was a cutaway in the paintjob Embarassed we thought it was the paint job process Embarassed hence we agreed that he shouldn't have included the kill markings Embarassed

    Either or, it is "thinking outside the box" & a big applause for the executioner whoever he might be for this novel idea cheers

    It is a cutaway of a paintjob. I had built that 162 in 72nd scale and it was flown by an ace, Demuth if not mistaken and he did have kill markings on the rudder, the werk nummer tallies.

    RLM 76 applied to the undersides. The colour doesn't show that well in the photos:

    He 162 Salamander 1/32 - Page 9 2013-110

    I also noticed I have a significant problem with my workshop lighting. I could not really make out the difference between the light blue paint and the grey primer. I had to go outside to verify that the colour was ok Shocked. This has to be replaced!


    I also replaced the air intake on the engine cowl with a scratch unit made from spent antiseptic cream tube material:

    He 162 Salamander 1/32 - Page 9 2013-111


    Here's one for Skyhigh:

    I've tested the RLM 81 and 82 on a scrap piece of plastic. These are acrylic LifeColor paints.

    82 is on the left and 81 is on the right. A panel painted in 76 is shown for comparison.

    He 162 Salamander 1/32 - Page 9 2013-112

    How do these look to you? I think they are a bit off but the colour chips I have are a bit old and could be misleading.

    Wayne do not fall in the trap of exact colour match, rest assured no two aircrfat will be the same ... just have a similar hue, mixtures of paint was all depends of with what was mixed and were it was made, the worst would be those made on the field not factory finish. Remember aswell these are late aircraft, the German economy was on dire straits, though they kept the standards typical German remember the raw materials were being drained out ... so parole povere take just a hue idea and not a perfect match!

    Yes Ivan, I agree. In fact I have used a slightly different shade of RLM 76 on the undercarriage doors as these were made of wood and therefore manufactured (and painted) separately from the airframe.

    Having said that, I just wanted to make sure that at least I chose the right hue as you said Very Happy

    Thanks guys... I'm quite pleased with the finish myself.  Thank God for the damp weather as it has made things much easier, even more so when considering the fact that I'm using acrylic paint.  Given the large areas to paint, I used the medium needle on the airbrush.  This also helped with the paint flow.
     
    Next up is the shading pale

    One tip do not use water with acrylics, if you are using Tamiya [which are not acrylics] use alcahol [iso prefarbly or lacquer thinners] and if using Vallejo or Life colour use their thinner ... without it it is a bit difficult to control shading ... Lifcolour thinners are vaialble over ebay or from airbrush company UK ... hope it helps buddy!

    Ivan
    Way ahead of you bro Very Happy ... using Lifecolor thinner for Lifecolor colours. Surprisingly, it also works well with Model Master Acryl and Liquitex artist colour.

    Thanks for the tip nonetheless Very Happy
