Yes, certain similarities in the camouflage pattern cannot be denied. 🙂 It wasn't really the intention, it was supposed to be a mix of larger and smaller patches. But I still like it now. 🙂

It looks really remarkable. You have constant density for all the patches. Skills!

I love this kit, it was one of my favorite to build. You have done a masterful job on that camo. Looks great.

This is the best Arado 555 I've seen, and I've seen many. What paint did you use to achieve that excellent finish?

Simon Author
Many thanks to you both! I'm really pleased that you like the paintwork! The project has already taken a lot of time so far. At first I thought it would be a quick job, but in the end the sanding, re-engraving and the countless thin layers of paint have taken a lot of time. Probably also because I watch series on the side 🙂

@HSC1932: I now only use Vallejo colours, mostly the Model Air colours if available. I also thin them a lot now: 4:2:3 (Flow Improver : Thinner : Paint). For the two main colours I used Vallejo MA 71.257 Light Blue RLM76 and MA 71.259 Grey Violet RLM75.

👍👍Sieht heiß aus das Teil, besonders die Camouflage, hast du da ein Netz drüber gelegt und drüber gesprüht?

Moin Hans-Jürgen! Vielen Dank!! Ne, das habe ich mit ganz wenig Druck, geringem Abstand und der Politik der ruhigen Hand gemacht! 😉

Thanks Mr. Secretary! 😅 Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like a ray. A ray with giraffe skin. 😁 Your Arado looks great too! What an idea with the camouflage. 👍🏼

Thanks a lot mates. I urgently need to continue with the Arado. In the meantime, I had already applied all the decals. But I had actually bought a new kit of the Ar 555 because the old decals were partly printed with misalignment. In general, the new decals were of much better quality. Next up is another coat of gloss varnish to protect against the subsequent oil wash.

Deine Arado gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut!
Ich hatte das Teil beim Erscheinen der ersten Auflage gebaut, wobei meine Lackierung längst nicht so gut ausgesehen hatte....
Stichwort Lack:
Reifen und Bomben finde ich persönlich deutlich zu glänzend; Planst du da noch was?
 14 November 2024, 21:35
Simon Author
Vielen Dank Euch für das Lob!! 🙂 Mit ca. 100 Bastelabenden hat mich das Projekt auch deutlich länger beschäftigt als zu Beginn angenommen.
Zum Thema Reifen und Bomben Ingo: Ja tatsächlich, die Reifen glänzen tatsächlich stärker als der Rest. War gar nicht so gewollt. Ich hatte diese Teile auch mit mattem Klarlack besprüht aber offensichtlich viel zu zaghaft!
Vllt. werde ich, wenn ich beim nächsten Projekt (Eduard Spitfire) mit mattem Lack arbeiten muss, nochmal ein, zwei Schichten matten Lack auftragen um es stärker zu mattieren.
