Now the best part :D I like a lot the weathering result :D :D I´, really surpassing me on the diorama :D :D

The pics say by itself:

The tiles I made with a a help of my friend Reducino, with aluminum foil for cooking and some needles.

I just glued the needles side by side and then press the foil to ge the "corrugated" format.

The result looks good. On the outside I paint on rust, and Inside with withe aluminum.

 

And a pic b&w looks good :D :D

I started the build, not too much work, I´m without inspiration today :)

The kit is an Eduard J-87D - #4416

The kit tree:

And here the fuselage, the canopy is closed, so any interior details are on the kit.

So I open it with an Dremel and some sandpaper:

With a plasticard (0.5mm) I did the cockpit floor and add the panel, the seat are from dentist resin, and the rear seat are from plasticard too.

Let´s to the pics:

 

With a PE saw I remove the elevator to make it downed...

Wings glued and eelevators too, add the PE airbrakes and elevator struts...

Undersides painted...

Camo masking, with tamiya tape,

Painting, Gunze paints, and Testors AZTEC airbrush..

The result was this:

Masking to paint.. this mask gives me a lot of work to do...

Painting:

I like a lot the Gunze paint finish:

Now the model almost done:

I finish the landing gear.

On the rear wheel I did a hand work, it ´s to little to mask and paint with airbrush:

On the other gears I mask na paint with airbrush

The model almost done:

Here a fit to inspire the work :D

I paint a little strip of a decal sheet to make some strips to canopy...

Aplyied some decals, this is the little one:

After decalling the models looks this:

So, the hardest thing to do, the patterns on fuselage, I tryied to use a Nankim Pen, but does not work, the paint is not enough, I made an adaptation with a draw compass, I don´t know the name of this in English..

After aply, the model looks this:

according to the pics, the 262 on front the Ju-87/barn, have some panel opened of the leff engine, so I cut the panels with a PE saw and add the details using some sprue and a soda straw, now is just paint to see it finished.

The tininess is only surpassed by your dexterity and patience.

I think I will go back an dwork on my 1/35 tractor and stop complaining that it's small.

Keep up the excellent work.

Some more pics...

Paintend a little PE bike, and start to work on the base...

Here the little bike, it has about 6mm long.

To make the base I use a wood sheet 3mm, apply some plaster to meke the ground, to the grass I use Fun Flok (that is used to make velvet effect in toys).

The result was this:

Some details:

I still work on some more details of the base, but is going to be a good Diorama :D :D

Thanks to see :D :D

Excellent diorama Lucas! You really captured the scene from the WWII photograph and insight into the condition of the Luftwaffle during the closeing days of the conflict. Looking forward to seeing more of your work posted here.

Thank you to all.

I love this scale, cos you don´t need too much space to store your colection, and is possible to made nices dioramas too :D

Thank you so much.
