Heinkel 219 UHU Tamiya 1/48

[ajcmac]

Another model that was started (2013) and later, for fear of painting the model, was stopped inside the box. It is time to give continuity and try to finish the model.

The model.

What I had already done.

The interiors.

The model already with fuselage and glued wings.

Doors, wheels and landing gear.

The landing gear is ready.

I've already started to prepare more pieces to start painting the model.

Beautiful job - what weathering techniques/materials are you using on the undercarraige?

I painted the landing gear with Tamiya's XF-22.

Then I applied shadows with a mixture of the XF-22 and black, very diluted (no fotos).

Finally a washing with Bitumen of Judea.

Same with the landing gear doors.

Superb work on the cockpit there Antonio. Looks like a very large plane, interesting to see how it will look when painted,

Me too Builder. I'm afraid some of the spot paint with the RLM 75. But let's see how it goes.

I started to prepare some pieces and paint them.

Mask and paint of canopy with RLM 66 .

Propellers

The covers flames of the escapes.

I also painted with the RLM 76 the ailerons and flaps and the doors of the landing gear .

And that's enough for now.

It is very effective Antonio....
never heard of bitumen of Judea before

Another stop but this time was not for lack of will but rather because I ran out of RLM 76. I found that it is not good to make requests for material on vacation. But finally the paints arrived.

I had not put images of the model because I thought the material would arrive fast. The He with the bottom and the sides of the fuselage already painted. He will need a shower, is with enough dust and then finish the RLM 76.

Let's see if there are no more setbacks.

It looks great. It will be nice to see the top coat go on.

Lovely job you are doing with the paintwork.

Its a beautiful looking aircraft that deserves to be finished.

Hope it continues well.

Looking great Antonio.

 

[ajcmac]

Thanks Tony and Ian .

Shadows applied.

Now the most complicated. The spots with the RLM 75.

Look forward to seeing the dark spots applied, it's a striking scheme when complete.

And after much hesitation there I decided to start the spots.

The airbrush Harder Steenbeck closed to the maximum with the needle of 4m / m (I blew to of 2m / m, will be my next purchase), low pressure in the compressor. Very stressful work and with the airbrush very close to the model. I think it did not go wrong. Let's see how it goes with what's missing from the fuselage.

A little tired I decided to stop and leave the rest of the fuselage for later.

Stunning work! I've got one of these in the stash and may just have to try it out after seeing your great work!

Bravo sir!
