HEINKEL 177 part 6

Here is the sneak peak of the dry-fitting of the rc motor and a propeller from the kit. Now it's time to really get some work done so I will post only the final photos of the model in primer and then focus more on the painting of the entire Heinkel model than just building bits.

Canopy time! The original ones from the box were really bad and I decided to use the vacuum ones, that I got from a friend of mine. It was really hard to cut and grind them but I made it. I am using the EDUARD mask set for the canopy. Now it's time for the final us of the putty and then entire body is ready for MR. Primer.

TESTING DEPARTMENT: Mr.hobby acryllic Gandam weathering marker

When I started this blog, one idea that I had was to show everyone a testing department where I test different tehniques, accessories, paints and other products of plastic modeling. One of the things that caught my eye on this years Moson model show where this GANDAM acryllic weathering markers by Mr. Hobby. This marker is really thin, so you can use it for chipping, panel lines or even even paint the smallest details like wires, cockpit gauges an other small details. The marker dries really quickly and it stays there just like the normal paint applied with a brush. There is a whole pallet of colors of this marker from black,yellow, red, etc.. It looks like a good product and it's really worth it to try this markers. I bought only rust collor marker for now and I am definetely buying more of this markers, the were just 4€ on the ebay. Every once in a while Im going to post something in the TESTING DEPARTMENT, so stay tuned for more, cheers!
