Fun Scale Models Printed Tissue Techniques Part 2

[@Pete-tq6in]

It's a Heinkel 219 Uhu. Personally, I always try to shrink out the more stubborn wrinkles completely with additional local applications of water to problem areas. My girlfriend's makeup brush seems to be the best thing to apply water exactly where I want it. I appreciate that you were covering the extreme nose in separate pieces of paper in order to demonstrate the shrinking ability of the paper but I'd definitely fill between the nose stringers with soft balsa and sand it to shape to avoid that faceted, stretched paper look. The Uhu is a weirdly cool looking machine, I hope you're going to make the whole model!

Hi Pete , thanks for the comments and suggestions. I haven’t tried that type of a brush before but it seems like that would be a good tool to use. On the final version of the design I may fill in the nose to make it a solid block, that would help change the overall look and make it closer to the full size :-)

@@funscalemodels9782, I look forward to seeing the finished model, I really like the others you’ve designed, particularly the Nate, lightweight electronics have opened up the possibilities for stick and tissue models in ways that we only dreamed of as kids. Keep up the good work, you’ve just got yourself another subscriber!

Simply outstanding! (As informative and professional as “Max”. Highest of compliments since you know how great his instructional and flying videos are.). Keep up the good work and remember to have a lighted tissue night flier model for July…?

[@funscalemodels9782]

Thanks Steve, this one might be a little later as I have the P-40C to wrap up and an Italian fighter night in line :)

@@funscalemodels9782 Hope you have some sort of “night flier” for the July “Pre-Dawn Patrol” @ Coyote Basin?

Is their any way you could build one of your models for me I am very impressed by your work

Hi, first timer here... one drawback of using "doctor's" papers is that here in France the publicity from youtube is about women's mestruation accessories... the other one is weight for the free flyiers. Double covering is considered a sin in free flight... and lastly a question: I'm new on printing, I manage simple stuff but how do you guys print cammo? Your airplanes look so good seem that you print straight from a colour palette? Any advice will be appreciated. Merci! (USAF Vet living in france)

It’s a Heinkel He219. Now, let’s see you build the whole aircraft. Let’s be careful out there.

[@funscalemodels9782]

Hi James, thanks, and you are correct!

[@davidquerry8869]

Great video, Thank you

[@fpeco80]

Awesome

[@user-cq4nq8ci9o]

Yep! H 219

[@micregil]

Is the fuselage section part of a black widow? That's my best guess.

[@funscalemodels9782]

Close, but it is a night fighter :)

[@funscalemodels9782]

Correct Jack, its the 219 Uhu

[@funscalemodels9782]

​@Jack Steward Thanks Jack, would be great to see you again. Eleven micros, thats impressive. The plans are about 60% done for the 219 and will hopefully be in prototype stage in 3-4 months- right after another design that is already cut and waiting for the P-40C to be finished :)

[@DirkMaiwald-cz4cy]

Heinkel He-219 Uhu in 40” would be cool

[@pareloader5989]

Henkel 111? GreT video

[@funscalemodels9782]

close- its a Heinkel, but the HE-219 :)

This method is not good for free flight model builders. Japanese tissues with an acquired skill of sprayed dilute acrylics is skill the best. There's no shortcut for this if you want it done right. Also, it's never mentioned that printed colors are fugitive, especially the red, and starts looking like shit very soon even when protective UV gloss or matt finish is added also increasing weight. Nothing beats old fashioned dope sprayed on water shrunk tissue.
