Alexander Grivonev AuthorFunny thing about the camo, it was absolutely non standardised. This aircraft did not really exit the prototype stage and every unit was painted how ever the guys at the factory saw fit that day. The overall pattern was RLM75 blotches over RLM76 but the size and distribution varied from aircraft to aircraft. It was fun trying to replicate the exact pattern from original pictures of the prototype Nr. 15 I built.

Alexander Grivonev AuthorContraception? Did I leave a pack of condoms somewhere on the bench? I'll better check the pictures again. Good one, Spanjaard😄😄

Alexander Grivonev AuthorFabrice, I found this kit on a Tokyo trip last year. Tokyo has a shopping district called "Akihabara". There are like 8-10 scale model shops 10 minutes walking distance from each other. This place is a modelers heaven..

Alec KWow, outstanding build. I also like your painting contraption, pretty cool.

S MExtremely well done! Excellent paiting and brilliant building quality! I also went to Akihabara last year and it really is as you described. Where did you get those masks for "non-walking area" stripes?

ClementFantastic work indeed. Your model-holding articulated-arm for airbrushing is a great idea.

Urban GardiniFantastic work on the not so wonderous wooden wonder! I agree on the cleverness with you painting aid contraption. It gives me some ideas on one of my ongoing builds how to think as the next step is to paint some paint splotches. I'll see what I can come up with. At least my MiG-21 is a smaller kit to work with. But to get the paint work as neat as yours will be quite demanding...

Alexander Grivonev AuthorThx a lot mates! The one and only advice I can give for the paintjob is: practice. Try different paints, thinner ratios, different airbrushes, different air pressures, find something that works for you

Album info
inspired by the highly successfull "wooden wonder" De Havilland Mosquito the Germans tried to come up with something similar. This is the nightfigter prototype A-0(V-15) with the FuG220 antenna and SN-2 Lichtenstein Radar.
