Another satisfying video Leon. Your technique reminds me of Mike Rinaldi's approach, keep it simple and have fun with oil colours! I like your approach in doing these models for the artistic approach as opposed to just focussing on getting the 100% historical accuracy. At the end of the day, the approach should suit you and you shouldn't get hung up on details or frustrated with a project... I for one use it as a great tool for taking personal time, self satisfaction and relaxation. Can't wait for the final instalment of this journey!

I totally agree with you, it is after all for me a hobby for fun!!! I don't want to spend many hours to read on forums what historical accuracy on the subject is, rather spend it finishing models :) Yeah Mike Rinaldi has some great scale modeling philosophy, like finishing one part of a tank to the end and then continue with the other. But in my opinion you have to have a ton of experience to do that... And it's more suitable for tanks. But keep it simple and have fun modeling describes pretty much, what I want to do... :) Thank you for your comment Matt!!! Cheers to many more models :)

[@barrywhitfield930]

Regarding historical accuracy personally I don't mind either way. I feel that it's a hobby and should be subjective. If accuracy is your preference then all well and good, if not then also good. It's your model after all.

[@AirandGroundinScale]

I share your opinion Barry!!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!!

[@MrTurbohampster]

Exactly Its your model, make it how you like

[@markusv311]

Great job Leon. Very looking forward on the final episode, to see that beauty finished👍 Wondering what will be next🙂

[@AirandGroundinScale]

Thank you Markus!!! I tend to a 1/32 TBM Avenger from Trumpeter, or Eduard Bf109. But there's also a KV-2 or a softskinned vehicle from wwii...

@@AirandGroundinScale great choice, would love to see these birds on your workbench

[@trevoratchison3904]

It doesn't matter what other modellers think, it comes down to your interpretation OF your model. Thanks an keep up the good modelling

[@AirandGroundinScale]

Hey Trevor! Thanks for tuning in! Absolutely, as I see scale modeling as a form of art with many different variations and realism ist just a 'recommendation'. Best regards!

[@kenjohnston8173]

It's how to bleach out the skins, now I know now how to, now to get the white oil paint, thanks

[@AirandGroundinScale]

Very nice you got something out of the video!!!

[@zachnar0125]

Bitchin! All I can ever find are the 1/32 kits for the 335 and theyre great wall hobby or H&K

[@zachnar0125]

Nice idea you have on finishing the wheels.

[@Rpantherluzero]

It looks great 👍.

[@AirandGroundinScale]

Thanks a lot!!!

I like your approach-helpfully explained. On historical accuracy… we can’t all be experts in everything and in spite of doing our homework before starting a project we can only go with ‘best available evidence’. I think that’s just fine, and I don’t fall out of love with a model I think I’ve don’t we’ll just because I discover a detail that I didn’t know beforehand. You example here is excellent.

[@AirandGroundinScale]

Hey Steve! Thank you for watching the video and sharing your thoughts!!! As time is very limited, I like to invest it in modeling and painting, than researching. I have full confidence in the kit labels to get it right to the real thing as much as possible. Have a nice day!

Posted a few notes to your previous video with a link to my build of the same aircraft... This particular 335 (WNr 240112) did in fact not have a bare metal belly because it was a conversion of a pre-production single seat which were all painted in full camo scheme in order to meet one of the many RLM requirements of accepting an airplane into service.

[@AirandGroundinScale]

Hey Alex! Sure I remember, we exchanged some lines about it. I was already focused on my 'artistic' paintscheme from Zouki Moura :) I absolutly believe what you wrote about the requirements of RLM. But there's a conversation just about every color scheme, so I took the easy route to finish this model. Hope you still tune in to my next videos and leave some historical advice!!! Have a great weekend!!!

Great stuff as always, love the effect the grease has on the oleos

[@AirandGroundinScale]

Thanks Travis! I was surprised about it myself :)

Lovely weathering workflow, Leon, I enjoyed it 👋

[@AirandGroundinScale]

Many thanks!!! I try to keep it as simple and fast as possible...

[@wasrio1403]

Each to there own but my preference is for historical accuracy. Good work what ever you do.

[@AirandGroundinScale]

Thank you Was Rio!!! Sometimes it's hard to know what historical accuracy about a subject should be. There are a plenty of different interpretations of a black and white pictures...
