If you need some doc, don't hesitate to contact Didier Waelkens: he was C130 pilot...

Aircraft Modeling / Re: Albatros D.XI first prototype (Karaya 1/48)
« on: November 28, 2011, 05:26:30 PM »Scott and Srecko: for those bubbles I hope to can eliminate them. If I cannot... Well, that aircraft will return on the shelves for a very, very long time...
Trust me, you can fill all those voids with some work. I simply make sure all of the bubbles have "popped"--that is, that there is no membrane at all still remaining from when the bubble formed. Then I very carefully layer on a light coat of filler to the entire surface, making certain to fill each bubble as best as possible but not covering the rest of the undimpled surface. I then sand it lightly and re-apply the filler in the same way, repeating until the entire affected area is smooth. Then it's a simple matter of priming/sanding/possible re-filling and repeating. I've also used CA glue to fill larger or deeper voids first and then do the putty/sanding after the CA has cured fully.
I'd sure hate to see you have to put this back on the shelf because of these pesky bubbles.
Well, I will do my best with that plane anyway. And as I've said, I've no deadline to finish this one

Ernie, I recommend you to use white decal paper; better than clear one in this case: the lozenges will be more opaques.

Thank you mates!
Scott: yes, good idea. Will check my photos and do that as soon as possible...

As the paint was dry enough, I don't waited until tomorrow and removed the maskol today.
Better to use maskol (from Humbrol) than neo (from Gunze) because the last one is harder to remove (better adherence; in such a case it's not an advantage)
OK, it's a new technique for me; I'm really happy with that but I think experience will permit a better use

Ernie,
I've applied the German crosses and then the Belgian roundels over it. The Belgian cockades comes from an old Americal Gryphon decal sheet.
But for my second fokker (to be build yet), I will use masks to make my own roundels...

Ernie, I've sent you those lozenges by email. There were made by Doug Baumann, downloadable freely on a forum that don't exist more actually...

Sure. I must say I'm really bothered. A friend of mine tried to build that kit but finally put it in the trashcan...

« on: November 27, 2011, 04:48:55 PM »Looking goodHow do you keep you work mat so clean? or is that oine just for photos?
I can never keep mine clean
Won't be long now and we can see how the chipping comes outIf it is the same as your Fokker, it will be awesome!
Ernie
Thank you Ernie!
Well, to keep my work mat clean, I put on it a simple sheet of paper... That I remove when I take some photos
I hope also that chipping will be nice. Will try that tomorrow.

Thank you Sall!!!
Well, serious things now: Gunze H54 airbrushed.

Well...
I like the Albatros D.XI.
... But I don't like the kit of the Albatros D.XI...
First airbrushing of primer revealed myriads of little bubbles in the resin, not visible without the primer. Plus a joint visible on the fuselage... I've filled all that bothering stuff with cyano.
Sall: sanding again...
