Hello,

Serhan,

Beautiful paint job! Tell us more about the build and the kit maker.

-Derek

Derek,

Kit belongs to Plastic Model PM, a Turkish Model Company. 16 pieces at all and needs careful tooling before paint. I do not have an any idea regarding accuracy of the model but I think it seems like Ho229 #:-)

Primed with Tamiya XF2 White, Modelmaster RLM76 overall than XF1 Flatblack underside and stripes are finished with Gunze RLM 75.

Hi Serhan!

That's a lovely paintjob! Fantastic result especially in 1/72 scale!

how did you do that? What airbrush and what compressor are you working With? Just curious!

Jean-Luc

Hello Jean-Luc.

Many thanks for kind words. Airbrush is Badger 100LG with medium nozzle and the compressor is industrial type with 25 lt. tank. I can only run towards 14.00 pm. due to the roaring noise in the apartment

Happy Modeling...

Hi Serhan..

Great little 229.
And I agree excellent paint job,

PM are very simple kits but not bad at all considering how cheap they are to buy. They make up really well and give a lot of scope for adding detail, especially in the cockpit department.

Its the two seater nightfighter version.
PM also do the single seat version too.

Cheers and thanks...
It'll be nice to follow the build on this.

Hi again...

I did a review on the Ho229 by PM a while back.

At the time of writing the price in UK from Hannants was around GBP4 each. Amazing value really.
The beauty of PM's is that they are cheap and simple enough for the beginner and offer so much scope for detailing are attractive to the more experienced to practice their skills without a big outlay.

Cheers and thanks again

Just my kind of aircraft, always fun to see them built. Love that paint job you have done.

Keep up the good work
Tobbe

finished without weathering. Unfortunatelly decals were scattered while touch with water.







Cheers #:-)

Fntastic paint job Serhan. Did you use the reverse mottling technique ?

Hi again...




I think, if I remember right, the decals were the one bad part of the kit. Terrible.
They will need borrowing from other kits or an after market decal sheet.
But as the crosses, at least, were the more simple type for this aircraft they may not prove too difficult to mask and paint...?

The kit so far is looking really good...

Cheers
Peter
