Hannover CL.II 'White 5'
WNW 1:32
In progress shots show fuselage first painted via tape masks to get the lozenge finish( took forever!) which is then over-sprayed with a grey-blue ( took 5 mins !)allowing a hint of lozenge to show through..
Upper centre wing and front of rear lower similarly masked and the colours reasonably closely matched to a 5 colour lozenge, only seen here on the ailerons. Upper wing surfaces in 4 colour lozenge decal, matching undersides also decals from Aviattic.. All Aviattic cut to fit from tape templates. Individual rib tapes and wing edge finishing strips added separately.
Gaspatch turnbuckles and Parabellum rear MG. Model Kasten rigging
Weathered in oils
There are diorama pics to load up in a while...
Marvelous work as usual David, and another truly excellent result.
π ... Greetings ... π :
Exemplary work David.
Fantastic job as usual, David!
Just another example of the stunningly beautiful work you produce David, @mentaldental. Your figures and your WWI aircraft are masterpieces of building and painting. Simply stunning!
Absolutely amazing work, David @mentaldental
A lot of work done to eventually overspray it within 5 minutes with a single color.
Really awesome, top notch! I was wondering what it is like working with the Avattic decals. I have sets for my Aloatros DV-As and my Roland DV Kits, but haven't had the opportunity to work on them yet. They always look awesome. Your hand sprayed lozenge pattern is great too.π
Aviattic are easy to use. You'll love them.
Thanks David.
What an incredible model...nicely done!
Thatβs sharp, David.
Stunning paint and decal work.
Impeccable craftsmanship!
You've been busy! That's a lot of quality work!
Great build. What I do not understand are the "exaggerated" ribs on the wings. I could not find them on photos I googled. It looks like an additional enforcement.
Just a remark - may be for discussion: The tissue-fabric on the decals seems largely exaggerated. Assuming a thread-diameter of 1,5 mm (which allready is a lot in my opinion) there would be 20 lines per mm in 1:32. I suppose even in the original plane the tissue-fabric is barly visible after paint is applied.
Again, amazing work from @mentaldental! π€© David, you are a true master of the art of scale modeling! It's fantastic to see incredible builds produced, one after another. ππ»
Man, that looks so real, I would swear it's a 1:1 scale!
