Romain Sablou Autor
Picture 8 : I screw up riveting on the second wing. 😅 I was thinking that doubling the number of rivet lines was a good idea on this part of the wing, turned out it wasn't...
I used Tamiya Surfacer to cover everything and start again

Alberto
Very promising start, I'm in!

Fabien
Wow impressionnant. super beau boulot

Gary Victory
A real pain doing the riveting but so satisfying once it's done. Lovely work Romain.

Romain Sablou Autor
Thank you all for your interest ! This is my first attempt on riveting an all airplane, I wouldn't say it was painful, but rather a looong and sometime tiring job. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and the satisfation when highlighting the rivets with a black wash 👌

Jakub Fiala
Very nice work, so far. Riveting looks perfect 👍 I´ve just ordered a new release of Edugawa F/G Marauder, so i will look for some inspiration here.

my respect for somebody who can do a complete riveting of a plane... and you said it was your first? how, that looks truly amazing! beautiful cockpit too!

Totally echo Roberts's comments. Awesome work so far on this build Romain.

Christoph Kunz
👍 👍 👍

flyingpotato222
wow that's amazing how on earth did you get the finish so good

Alec K
Outstanding work on those invasion stripes 👍

Romain Sablou Autor
Many thanks everyone ! It means a lot during this time consuming project. The finish is acheived by cleaning and polishing the model prior to paint stage. Then by using well diluted paint for thin and smooth coats of paint.

Gary Victory
NMF finishes are more work, but so much more rewarding when done. Super metallics for me definitely the metals paints available.

Yury
Why haven't I seen this miracle before?! Magnificent, super! Fabuleux!

Jakub Fiala
Those worn invasion stripes look great! 👍

CaptGPF
Agree with Alex, the invasion stripes are sooowell done. Roman - how are the Mr Hobby metallics compared to the AK Xtreme metals?

Romain Sablou Autor
Thanks mates 🙂
Mr. Hobby Super Metallic pros : much stronger during weathering steps. cons : dilution can be tricky, not much choices in shades.
AK pros : more variety of color , perfect pre dilution for airbrush, cons : very sensitive to solvant during weathering, high drying time.

Tony Tonov
Great build, I've been following it from the beginning. Impressive result and attention to details. It is an inspiration for my next model 👍

Gary Victory
Absolutely love how this build is coming together. Love the paint work Romain.

Romain Sablou Autor
Thanks guys ! I can't wait to fully dive into weathering

Clement
At this point, I feel like most of us are just speechless, your work is really awe inspiring!

Lebloge
😮 Just one word in mind...perfection ! 😮

Sven Schönyan
Tremendeous work and a extremely good result! What solvent do you use for manipulating the artist pen brushe colours?

Shar Dipree
Awesome work. The rivets alone enliven the model immensely and then the great paintwork and conclusive weathering. Very very beauftiful B-26 so far. 👍

Neuling
Same as Shar Dipree. 👍👍

Romain Sablou Autor
@Clement, and I lack words to thank you all for your support on this long term project. Thanks again everyone ! 🙏
@Sven, I don't use any solvent, you can manipulate the ink fresh out of the pen. But if you still want to dilute or erase something, you can simply use tap water !

Sven Schönyan
Thank you Romain!

Rui S
Looking impecable 👍

Neil
Stunning work! 👏 And a really lovely informative build album 👍

Gary Victory
Really nice work on the weathering Romain. Great progress.

Chris T. An

Dontsniffglue
Phenomenal detailing. I can only hope to get this good years from now. Especially love all the chipping and weathering added that gives it a whole new level of realism.

Romain Sablou Autor
Thank you ! 🙂

Frank Brzobohaty
What are you using for the long aerials? MGP????? and how did you do the insulators/connectors?

Romain Sablou Autor
Cables are made with "hyper thin rigging" from AK (AKI-9135) , insulators are made with PVA glue diluted with a drop of water and a small brush

Michael Kohl
Fantastic

Gary Victory
Home stretch Romain. Loving your work on this B-26.
