View Full Version : WSF Stab at a Halberstadt D.II
Hers my stab at a Kampfflieger Shapeways WSF Halberstadt D.II:
34399
I used Humbrol 65 Aircraft Blue for the top coat finishing with Doms decals & a Peter Pig pilot
34400
Included this picture on the thread to show the different lighting effect of the flash.
(the cameras not me!) This is nearer what it looks like to me.
I was dubious about the colour when I put it on & not sure it's accurate but I'm actually quite pleased with the end result.
More pics & detail in my album here (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/album.php?albumid=1150) that I hope you will enjoy too.

Nice , I kinda wish I could have used shapeways for mine [ used skytrex they are good but had put together probs] Shapeways was not making Hab's when I did mine . Check out my album.
Nice paint schemes Darell, I nearly did the light tan scheme too but the blue lured me in.

Great finish.
Nice Dave.
The colour is accurate, according to Bob Pearson anyway, Jasta 5 unknown pilot.
Max Headroom did a card of this one for me so look in his album

:thumbsup: Nice work Dave! I really like the Halberstadts. The D.II is a good aircraft on the games table even better if you swap the P & G decks as the Eindeker does NOT deserve the sideslip. It should have gone to the DH-2's & Halberstadts on Historical records!.:confused::hmm:
Here is a piece of WW1 art showing a light blueish colour.

That looks a pretty good match for the shade of blue. Good paintjob! :thumbsup:

Thanks Chris, I'll do that, and thanks for the artwork Barry - very atmospheric pic. Thanks all for the comments, just encourages me to do more !

I'm tempted to buy one myself as that plane so darn great.
That's a lovely model, flash! The monochrome scheme really enhances the Halberstadt's graceful shape.
