Don Flynn Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Thanks Don. I will be using a SKG-210 (S9+CD) Javier I remember now, you posted that allready My 2 OOB Tamiya Emil's that scale is on the bench now Just finished decaling that tonite, need to seal the decals with gloss then wash through what needs it then flatcoat and some exhaust staining, That one I'm waiting on decals on from this sheet to get here http://www.airconnection.on.ca/HUSSAR/DECA...SSAR_48d001.htm Bottom "White 5"..if they don't show up soon I'm going to start another kit (I've a bunch in the stash :P ) and do that one in a 7/JG 53 pattern that doesn't have the swastika on the rudder. JG 53 flew for a time with them painted out and I've pictures of a plane I've wanted to do for awhile. I'll have to bash the decals but not a problem with the stash I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcasilimas Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Really nice Don. yes, I was asking about the rack... and other details. I hope I can do something good as yours Emil's. Javier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Flynn Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Looking good. Keep a eye on those tailplanes and the supports, Tamiya molded the support struts a bit to short since theres a leather boot there that the museum plane they copied didn't have so if you use them for alignment you'll get a downward cant on them, I always use this as a guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Sorry Don, but that drawing (for some reason) made me flash back to my very first model, the cherry red 1/48 Aurora Me-109! It only had about a dozen parts, with SOLID wings, no gear wells, gear and gear covers molded as one, no cockpit-just a "half a pilot" molded with each fuselage half! BUT, they didn't forget those ever important tailplane supports! I'm not sure that I didn't forget them when I built it, but they were in there! As the ad used to say....we've come a l-o-n-g way baby! Those Tamigawa Bf-109E's are da bomb, and you guys are doin' 'em right! Show us some more! Cheers!

GIL I never had that one as a kid, my 1st Emil was in the Revell 1/72nd scale Battle of Britian set, loved to find one of those someday in decent shape just to hang on the hobby room wall :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Flynn Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 That shaded out pretty good, I've always done a wash after the fact but might try that next Emil that scale I do (got another in mind after the 2 on the bench are done) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guaguachong Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 thank you. you show us the process and we can learn a lot form your job. actually this is the first time i see the whole process of building a plane with PE. i guess i should be not easy to dig these holes and they really make this one looks much more accurate. hope you enjoy your work. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcasilimas Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ying I always saw the PE installed, but never saw the process... and its not easy, we are learning!! It's my first time working with PE!! Decals are done: Then... a post shading process: Comments are welcome Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 That's coming along quite nicely! I like your shading as it adds visual interest beyond that of the basic camouflage. I look forward to the finished model pics! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
