The "Flying Hisso" work: Wingnut Wings 1/32.

The kit from Wingnut Wings has a nice detail and fitting in general but with some problems in the engine cover. I also used True Details´ McCudden SE.5a Conversion set. True Details´ resin piece for the cockpit cover also needs some work for a correct assembly. Anyway, the result worth the effort.
I applied some light effects with pre and post-shading to enhance the contrast. The weathering is made with enamel products. For the rigging I used the black elastic wire that Wingnut sells in its page.
I tried to get a vintage look with the painting, I don't know if I succeeded but I think it looks nice enough.

GUEST GALLERY: Hansa Brandenburg W.29 1/32 by DANIEL ZAMARBIDE.

This time I present you one of the pieces of Daniel Zamarbide. Dani Z also lives in Canary Islands so we are almost neighbours. He is one of the most prolific modellers I know with this level of artistry. Not an easy thing to build a masterpiece in a few weeks, but it´s obviously possible, he can.
This is 1/32 Wingnut Wings´ Hansa Brandenburg W.29. I don´t specially care about WWI planes not even hydroplanes of any age, and I specially hate the German lozenge camouflage. Nevertheless this is a nice example that mixing three nasty things sometimes can produce a wonderful creation. I love the pastel shades of the model and the combination with the realistic wooden pieces and the superb detailing of engine and cockpits. Dani has even managed to make me love this lozenge scheme!
Watching this wonder makes me wish to build a WWI hydroplane with lozenge camo. That´s a great compliment, believe me.
