well here it is all done.

Model Master Enamals..
Tamiya Masking tape.. lots of it...
brushed future under decals.
set with solveset..
coated with future.
light oil wash.
then weathered exhaust with pastels.







More pics here.

Ok fellows.. honest coments. and have no mercy even though this is only my 3rd plane

Looks good to me!, It just so happens Im doing the exact same plane right now myself. But mines going to be the Afrika Yellow paint scheme. Good job

I like it a lot. No aftermarket stuff? Does it need it? Any filler/fit problems? Want to start this or my P-38, please advise.

Its the Hasegawa Kit of the Hs192B-2

No Aftermarket stuff at all.. its straight OOB makes a nice kit.. a little spare in the cockpit area such as seat belts.. has decals for the Cockpit dials and for a panel on the right and left of the seat but I wanted to leave the cockpit closed anyways.

Used no putty at all. thougth I did sand off almost all the locating pins and used plastruct to join all peices. after careful fit testing.. then sanded down any small seams i had left.There was a bit of a gap in the chin peice that might have needed putty but i kinda managed to fill it in with the glue.

The airloins on each wing were a bit fiddly as they are held on with 4 seperate hinge peices that have to go on in just the right order but if you are carefull and follow the order they are no prob.

Be carefull with the cannon as the end peices are exteamly small.. i lost em and wound of scratch building a new tip for it. .not exactly right but dont look bad. shh.. don't tell anyone.

For only your 3rd plane, wow that looks awesome. Your a natural!

I agree with TsunamiBomb. That truly is a nice looking plane.
I'd love to fly in it!

Delbert, your ailerons, (Those flap like things at the end of the wings)(sp?) aren't right. If I'm correct, one should be in the up position and the other should be in the down position. You have both in the down position. This is what allows the plane to bank. A/C guys...am I right on this or talking out my rear? Other than that it looks good to me. Got any close up shots? "Q"

Hmm

I'm not to up on aircraft terms... but I think maybe the steering is the thingie's in the rear I may have gotten the names wrong on my other post. .. I think the things on the wings should more properly be called flaps.. when down they slow the aircraft I think and this is important for this model as it's a ground attack aircraft.

maybe an airplane guy can clairify for us.



It also looks like those 2 flaps are only hinged to go down...

Delbert, I hate to tell you this, but Red4 is correct (Nice catch for a treadhead, Matt! )
The rudder is the thing on the tail, it controls Yaw or side to side motion.
The flaps are on the inboard section of the wings, they create lift for the aircraft at slower speeds.
The Ailerons are on the outboard section of the wings, they control roll around the center axis (length of the fuselage).
The thing on the horizontal surface of the tail is the elevator, it controls pitch or up-and-down movement.
The Ailerons must act in opposition of eachother. For instance, when the right aileron is up and the left aileron is down, the aircraft will bank, or roll, to the right. If the rudder is pushed to the right during this maneuver, the A/C will turn to the right. Activating the rudder with ailerons level will create a condition called 'slip' which can make a novice pilot need to change his shorts .
O.K. more info than required. point is, ailerons (on outboard aft of wings) should be in opposition-one up, one down.

ah well i'm not going to argue.. though i have found pictures in my books of wwII aircraft on the ground with both wing control surfaces in the down position. I just followed the insturctions and made me a good build..

and if anyone asks.. its sitting on the ground waiting for maintiance as the airloin cables are broke causeing both wing surfaces to drop.......

:> laters

Delbert, I like your final answer...

A few years back I got my Multi-Engine Flight Instructor license and as an "airplane guy" I could maybe shed some light here. Alot of high performance aircraft will have what is called differential ailerons. Yes big word. Basically when one aileron moves it will move further than the other by a few degrees, but in the opposite direction of course. Now, being able to tell the difference is almost impossible in the smaller scales so it probably doesn't matter.

Also, many aircraft use control locks while on the ground to minimize damage should the wind change direction. Some were as simple as using the pilots' seatbelt and wrapping it around the control stick or yoke. Others were placed directly onto the control surfaces and removed by the pilot or crew chief during a pre-flight inspection. Most were brightly painted to ensure that it was not missed before takeoff.

Great job for your third "target"!

Very Very Good

How did you get the burnt look by the engines

was that airbrushed

thankz

-nick-

nope not airbrushed.. the engine exhaust is pastel chalks.. black and brown. brushed on the model like paint.. I applied it a little thicker than I wanted it to look so it would'n't dissapper when i put the flat coat on..(pastels tend to dissapper or get lighter when you apply a clear coat..) and it came out well...this time :>
