1/48 Emil Do-Over

[KennyX]

Thank you, Bruce and Kari!

I might be doing a 180 on bringing up the demarcation just a hair. I think if I try that, I’ll ruin it. It isn’t a big deal, it isn’t like, grossly screwed up or anything. I think it would be a good idea to just add the RLM 02 in there and then do the wings. For my first-ever attempt, I’d say I accomplished everything I wanted to, and cashed-out before I let my rabid OCD get the better of me HAHAHAAA!

Seriously guys, thanks so much. This has been a pleasure of a project and having y’all’s feedback and encouragement and advice has made it all the better. I sincerely appreciate you.

What you write hits because I forever want to change things to make em better, but it’s always better when a thought begins with “I might...” to say to the thought, “No.”

From what I know, to redo the darnacation area requires a partial repaint of the sides with a blend on the lower fuselage first, then carefully redoing the top area.

But but but there may be other ways to do this.... I just know what I would do.

Personally, you might try a scrap section of plastic and recreate the effect and the adjustments. That would make the most sense to me.

I’m putting a pin in that idea, Bruce, and will test it out another time on an old plane I got.

In the meantime, I’m taking your first suggestion and saying “NO” to that thought LOL

I got the starboard and port sides from the cowling back to the end of the canopy exactly how I wanted them, I did the mottling and didn’t screw it up, and, y’know, I haven’t dropped the damn thing LOL I think this is one minor fault (seriously, like a millimeter and a half at the most) which I can live with.

If you think it may need a bit more or less or adjusting, but you’re not quite sure, that’s probably a good point to hold at and move on to the next thing.

Yesss! I wish I had that advice sooner but it’s good now.

That’s where I’m at, Carlos. I’ve been down this road before, and it’s only ever taken the old boy Kenny X to one place- The Heartbreak Hotel. Time to move onto the next thing.

Sage words from a wise man. For my 2 cents, stop now. It looks good.

Sometimes its better to move on rather than to obsess over a certain detail. I tend to do the obsess thing myself. The mottling looks really good, Kenny. Luftwaffe mottling looks easy but is notoriously difficult to get a realistic looking result.
