Fieseler Fi 103 Reichenberg IV

[Bizarre]

Ok folks, this is my first not armor build through many years...17 at least... LOL
So, switching from anti-air German tanks to German kamikadze rockets is fun.

This kit is from Bronco and I did it in 2 hours OOB.

I am trying to do this particular rocket, captured by British forces.



Base colour (Mr. Hobby Olive Drab)

After that some masking, mixing light blue colour and then doing green camo.

Stay tuned, more fun will follow

Chris.

 

[Bizarre]

yes, there was a cockpit... this thing was supposed to fly 800 km/hour
btw, what is the bestway to glue cockpit?

Thanks Chris!

 

[Chris S]

Roman..I use either Humbrol clearfix or PVA wood glue

Chris.

 

[Bizarre]

PVA sounds interesting. Will try that!

 

[Myke]

Impressive. Very Impressive. Amazing squiggly work.

 

[Bizarre]

Thanks, Myke!

So... I did a MIG dark wash, then glued the cockpit with CA glue ( ;D), applied decals and some smoke pigment around the exhaust.
The cart got a layer of hairspray after the OD base coat. After the hairspray was dry I applied Sand Yellow from Tamiya and after some time removed it partially. To give the cart even more worn look I did some extra chipping and applied pigments on tires. 99% finished?

 

[Chris S]

Great work Roman I really like your camo nice AB control . The cart looks good too ,love the chipping .
Got lucky with the CA huh ;D well if it works ,it can frost up on you very quick tho

Stunning

Chris.

 

[Bizarre]

Thanks Chris, that camo was a tricky job. I had to go really close to the model on almost no air from the compressor.
