He 280 V2 - Eduard - WIP (Done)

Soeren R.
The pit is almost finished. Next steps are glueing the remaining pe parts, a clear coat and a wash.

Björn Svedberg
Nice start on that cockpit, Sören! And an interesting plane. I'll be tagging along, mate!😉

Christian Bruer
Nice start 👍

Soeren R.
Thx Björn and Christian😉

Hanno Kleinecke
An X plane ! Exactly my kind of topic, what do you think of the kit ?

Soeren R.
So far it looks nice:
It will probably need some filler and sanding like the X-1, but the dry fitting didnt show anything serious

Miro Herold
nice project Sören. Good starting

Soeren R.
Thx Miro. 🙂
I hope to continue this one on the weekend.

Andrea Morris
Always fancied this kit, so, watching with interest...

Soeren R.
Welcome Dave😉

The pit is now finished and its time for my favorite step - filling and sanding 🙂
Sadly this kit probably needs a lot of it.......

Andrea Morris
Ah yes, filling & sanding, the highlight of all builds 🙂

Gerald
Nice start 😉

Spanjaard
I am in too 🙂

Soeren R.
Thx mates 🙂

Bart Goesaert
looking good, nice they added some prepainted PE to the kit

Soeren R.
Thx Bart😉 This one is currently a bit on hold, because the Tunnan needs to be finished first.

Katya Hodgson
Looking much better than mine, I really messed it up. 🙁

Andrea Morris
Any progress since the summer?

Soeren R.
Thx Katya

@ Dave
Only more Vallejo Putty on it, but there will be some Updates soon

Flop_Se
very nice progress so far! 👍

Oliver Peissl
Sehr schön bis jetzt

Soeren R.
Naja bei weitem nicht so schön wie deind 280 geworden ist😉

Oliver Peissl
Ach Quartsch, ausserdem bist Du ja noch garnicht fertig und kannst jetzt aus meinen Fehlern lernen 😉

Soeren R.
Two / Three tiny spots are still need some attention, but I hope to fix these soon, so that I can start with the paintjob.

Oliver Peissl
Nice job Sören!
Weiter so, die wird klasse!!!!

Stephan Ryll
Very nice progress Soeren 👍

Soeren R.
Thx Oliver and Stephan!

I hope that this one will turn out ok in the end!
Simple kit but still a lot of work - for me anyway. 😄

Oliver Peissl
Of course à lot if work!
But you know Whats possible with this Kit 😛

Soeren R.
Haha I do but that I will not achieve at all 😄

Oliver Peissl
...of course you will

Soeren R.
Patchwork Paint 🙂

Katya Hodgson
Looks amazing already! Is this "pre-shading" ?

Soeren R.
Its called black basing
doogsmodels.com/2014..hnique-black-basing/

I just used different colors underneath to create some color variation

Daniel Klink
spitze Soeren.. Looking great

Soeren R.
Thx Daniel😉

Ive managed to paint one wing now with the last and final layer of RLM02

Nathan Dempsey
Coming along very nicely. 🙂

Soeren R.
Thank you Nathan😉

Oliver Peissl
nice so far

Soeren R.
Thank you Oliver

Jim J
Looks great so far. Interesting technique.

Holger Kranich
Sieht gut aus, Soeren!

Soeren R.
Thx Jim and Holger

@ Jim
Give it a try. Its easy to achieve and the result looks more convincing than normal pre shading for example😉

Bart Goesaert
Splendid preshade technique... I use this method on white aircraft (with the different colors, minus the black borders in between, just the panels in different pale colors)

Stephan Ryll
Very nice preshading Soeren, the Surface looks very good 👍

Soeren R.
Thank you Bart and Stephan.

I'm a big fan of black basing.
Sure normale Pre-Shading with Black over the Panel Lines is probably much easier and faster, but I dont like the "chessboard" look in the end 🙂

Spanjaard
it looks really good

Torsten
Interessante Technik, werde ich mir merken 👍😎

Soeren R.
Thank you Spanjaard & Torsten

@ Torsten
Mach das und berichte mal davon.

Ich bin absolut überzeugt von der Technik und finde den Effekt sehr cool - siehe letztes Bild

Katya Hodgson
Looking great! Definitely getting there now. ^-^

Torsten
Damit ich es noch besser nachvollziehen kann, Du sprühst oder malst die Farben mit dem Pinsel? Sind das Metallfarben? Schon mal Danke im Voraus!

Soeren R.
Thank you Katya 🙂

@ Torsten
Das ist alles per Airbrush gemacht - 0,2er Düse und dann halt in unterschiedlichen Farben gesprüht - in diesem Fall waren es unterschiedliche grau und braun Töne.
Zum Schluss dann mit der Hauptfarbe hochverdünnt und in einzelnen Lagen drüber gesprüht, dass der Effekt darunter nur noch leicht zu sehen ist.

Das ganze nennt sich "Black Basing"

Torsten
Danke Soeren 🙂

Oliver Peissl
Sehr schön Sören!

Soeren R.
Thx Oliver

The decals are done to 99% - one "Hakenkreuz" is missing - and I have to repaint one panel at the engine in aluminium

Katya Hodgson
Oh wow, looking great! I should probably try this kit again at some point, to replace the mess I made of it last time...

Gordon Sørensen
Fantastic looking Heinkel, Soeren! The burnt metal effect on the exhausts looks great!

Soeren R.
Thanks Katya and Gordon

@ Katya
You should - I think its a great kit to test new techniques and stuff like that

Erik Leijdens
Looking great Soeren!

Katya Hodgson
I suspect I could do a far better job now I have an airbrush! Oh if I might ask, how did you make the holes in the wings for the engines to fit into? I remember having a lot of trouble with that.

Soeren R.
Thanks Erik - Really happy that you like it 🙂

@Katya
I drilled holes around the inner edges of it - I use this tool for my models: ak-interactive.com/p..-hobby-pin-vise-set/ - and after that I used a hobby knife to clean the edges of the hole.

Katya Hodgson
Aha, I do have a pin vise, but I think it is much smaller than this... it's something to think about though!

Soeren R.
As long as the drills are smaller as the hole, it doesnt matter how big the vise is😉

You need do drill several holes around the edges and then remove the remains with the knife
