I cant recall the kit of this 1/48 Val, think it may be Fujimi.
Not a bad kit but I mostly wanted to experiment with creating a stressed wingskin effect on it, came out ok-ish.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the Hasegawa kit Theuns. I had one of these in the stash for years.
This turned out better than "ok-ish" though I can tell you that!!
Love the paint and weathering effects.

could be a Hasa yes, I just cant recall LOL
Looks great!the weathering on the cowling is very realistic!
Fujimi or Hasegawa, it turned out quite nicely! How did you do the stressed skin look?
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

I just built this kit early this year, it's the Hasegawa kit. Very nice kit and you killed it with the stressed look. Very nice work.

Great looking model. I imagine we may see manufacturers starting do stressed skin. You nailed it - looks great.
Thanks,
John
On my 1/24 airfix typhoon it does come with oilcanned skin texture.
On this one I just scraped the indentations with a round blade scalpel, they scribed the lines and did the rivets, nothing complex.
Theuns, I think that it turned out great. The paint chipping on the cowl is very realistic. Do you moind if I ask what did you use for your bare natural metal?

Your stressed skin looks real good. I am not that adventurous yet with my models!
On the Bench: Too Much
Great looking!
I know this took a lot of patience but the result is just super.
The stress technique is demonstrated on you tube.
Love the look. I tried it successfully on my 1/72 type IX U-boat, simi successfully on a Litorial Class and not so successfully on a plane (don't remember which one, probably because it didn't work out).
I'd like to try it on a B52 or some such AC that shows it prominently.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

You are too modest Thuens, your skills on this model turned out great! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I st used hardwarestore alluminium rattlecan spray over grey primer. It comes out quite shiny but with the weathering it tones down rather nice to a used alclad tipe look.
As for the chipping on the cowl, i used the sponge chip tecnique
She turned out great Theuns!
The the stressed skin looks really neat!
