3rd Romsey Modellers Update
In this first edition, Pat completes his masterclass on painting aircrew, Paul describes the build of his award winning Beaufighter and Richard gives us a further update on his TRS2. Russell builds what is shaping up to be another impressive armour kit this time he is tackling a SD.KFZ 252 Munition Schlepper.

THE ROMSEY MODELLERS SURVEY 2009
As you may me aware we are conducting a survey of our club members. The survey has two objectives, firstly to update our membership contact details and secondly to get feedback from our membership on cub activities and ideas on what we should do in the future. Survey forms are available from our web site, I will also be bringing some along to our next meeting. All being well I will report on its finding in next month’s Modeller.
JUST ADD IMAGINATION NEW WEB SITE
Malcolm Pipe of Just Add Imagination emailed me the following
At long last we've finally managed to get the new modelling website up and running ‐ Hoorah!
The new URL fir the site is www.justkitsandmodels.co.uk
I'm still in the process of loading products/images/descriptions (and will be for some time yet) but the site is steadily growing and is fully functional.
I'd be really pleased if you could let club members know of its existence and I'd be really grateful for any constructive criticism from everyone as to the sites look and feel, whether they find it easy to browse/use and whether they feel there's anything significant missing (other than products that is!).
COMPETITION NEWS
Don’t forget our first competition of 2009 will be held at April’s meeting with the theme “Airfix”. Already it is apparent that there are an unusual number of Airfix kits under construction, its not too late to start so go and have a rustle in the loft where you are bound to find something that qualifies.
This is the newsletter of Romsey Modellers a multitalented group of plastic modellers based in Southern Hampshire. We cater for all modelling genres and skill levels from beginners to well seasoned gurus.
We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 8pm to 10pm in Ampfield, Hampshire, where we often run workshops and club competitions but more importantly have a good chat about our hobby. We also attend most of the local model shows, where we exhibit our member’s completed projects.
We have an open door policy so if you want to sample how we can help you get more out of your hobby or just come and have a friendly discussion (tea and biscuits provided) please feel free to turn up – see the last page for details or visit our web site

PAINTING 1/48 AIRCREW PART II BY PAT CAMP
This article continues Pat’s Masterclass in figure painting 1/48 figures that was started last month. The last article covered the selection and preparation of figures, now on with the painting…
[1] First stages of painting the aircrew.
A Figures given airbrushed coat of Alclad primer.
B Airbrushed pale green undercoat – Citadel paints Rotting Flesh – charming!
C Flesh areas undercoated with Humbrol 61 Flesh, followed by oils for shade and highlighting.
D Life vest undercoated. Some shading of flight clothing.
14
[1] shows the first stages of painting. Applying my usual technique of applying a light coloured undercoat by airbrush, Citadel Rotting Flesh was sprayed on first and then a dark green sprayed up from beneath to provide the first shade: remember that for the pilots sitting in cockpits their backs and underneath will shaded from light.
Areas of flesh were hand brushed with Humbrol 61 Flesh and once this was thoroughly dried the areas were shaded and highlighted using oil paints. If you are new to oil paints then be comforted to know that the colours you need are not expensive and are available in starter kits. Experiment using burnt sienna and burnt umber mixed with white to get a range of four or so tints – the lightest being used for highlighting and the darkest for deep shade. You will be using the Humbrol flesh colour as your mid‐tone, so try and get your mix to match this tone. Also, want your paint to be quite fluid, so add a touch of artist’s Linseed Oil or Liquin if the mix is too stiff.
Use a fine brush to apply the paint. This ought to be of a good quality with a nice sharp point, sable being best as many synthetic fibres tend to splay out at the tips after cleaning with white spirit. Select the tone which is just a little lighter than the Humbrol 61 and place a barely visible amount onto your brush. Apply this to the parts of the hands and face which are in the light. For the face, keep
light tones down the centre and use a darker shade to each side. The scale is too small to paint close detail, so aim only to get the general shape [2]. Apply darker shade to eye sockets and lower cheeks. I like to frame the face by applying a very thin line of deep shade around the edge of the flying helmet.
[3] Completed Monogram Pilot
The other work done at this stage was to undercoat the life vest in pale yellow. I will describe the detail painting of Monogram pilot figure [3] as all other pilots were finished in the same way. Then I will describe what was done for the remaining two figures.
The flight suit was shaded with dark green oil paint. Use a deep green and add some red to it to make it darker still. You will want two or three dark shades – I didn’t use any highlight colour, but
[2] Seriously magnified view of face! Keep light tones on nose, cheekbones, forehead and centrally at lower half of face. Mid shade applied to eye sockets. Notice deep shade line framing the face around the flying helmet.
I did not go to this level of detail with the plastic figures in this article, but at least this gives you an idea of what to aim at.
15
simply relied on the Rotting Flesh undercoat. Line around the life vest with the darkest tone. I usually have a second brush kept clean which is used to remove or push back any oil paint that strays from where it is supposed to go. Now continue by painting in shade to the various folds of the fabric, keeping in mind at all times the direction of light from above the figure and how it will cast onto the figure, and where the shade will be and its depth. Easy really, isn’t it? Remember, paint only the shaded areas – leave the bulk of the clothing as it is.
The life vest is painted using a range of yellow shades. Take a small amount of yellow onto your palette and add some violet to it – this will darken it. You can lighten it using white oil paint. Keep doing this until you have the base colour you want. Add linseed oil or liquin to get the paint to the right fluidity. Now use it to produce darker shades (more violet, and possibly some brown) and lighter ones (add white or Naples Yellow). Once again, your yellow undercoat will form the main part of the colour, you need only add oil paints where it needs highlighting or shading.
I chose to do the flying helmet in white, using photo [4] as a reference.
[4] Other reference photos used for the aircrew.
This actually took some time, as I couldn’t get my white undercoat to be uniform. In the end, I masked the figures using Silly Putty [5] and airbrushed them, first with light grey, then pale grey directed from above the figure, followed by a spot of pure white on the very top. The distinctive earpieces were painted in orange/red (2 tones – highlight and shade) with a dark grey centre spot added once dried. The goggle frames and straps were painted Citadel Kommando Khaki. A medium grey was used to shade – including the top of each lens with pure white towards the bottom area – the left reference photo shows the lenses not to be tinted. Some details, such as loops for the goggle strap were painted in, as was a metal tension adjuster.
The belt was undercoated with Rotting Flesh and shaded around the pistol holster and various packs with a dull green colour. The scabbard for the K‐bar knife was finished in grey and the handle of the knife using brown oil paints.
The brown leather shoes worn by Navy aircrew were undercoated in pale yellow and, once dried, given a glaze of burnt sienna + burnt umber oil paints with plenty of Liquin. This is brushed all over the leather areas then, using a brush with neat oil paint, some detail of the leatherwork was added. The soles were painted neat burnt umber oil paint.

flying helmet.

Metal buckles – and the wrist watch ‐ were picked out in dark grey and then highlighted using a range of metallic silver tones using Printers Ink mixed with Paynes grey oil paint for shade and Iridescent White for highlighting. The centre of the watch was given a white dial.
The chart table was finished in dark grey and a map painted on using the right hand reference photo as a basis. There appears to be a gadget to aid navigation built into the top of the chart table and this was also painted in (somewhat unconvincingly!). There is also a note pad in one corner.
Some gold Printers Ink was mixed with burnt umber oil paint to pick out some rivet detail on the belt. A dark shade of this was also used for the communications leads over the life vest, terminating with a black jack plug with silver pin.
A final touch was a spot of gloss varnish added to the goggle lenses.
[6] Completed Mustang pilot (you’re in the Navy now!)
[7] The other pilot figure included in the Tamiya Corsair kit.
[8] Completed Corsair pilot. (I feel uncomfortable with his posture!)
17
The yellow top and cap of the flight deck controller [8] was treated in the same way as the life vests of the pilot figures. The trousers were painted with Kommando Khaki and shaded with oils. His glasses were picked out with the various tones of gold Printers Ink missed with burnt umber mentioned previously.
The blue shirt of the tractor driver [10] was painted and shaded first of all. Notice that I have allowed some of the shirt to show at the bottom of his back. A pale blue was used as an undercoat with the darker shade added on top
The red top was hand brushed with a mix of Humbrol orange and red enamels. I had some problems with the paint and it did not dry matt. Some matt varnish was airbrushed on before continuing by shading oils.
The denims were painted with a medium blue matt enamel and then shaded with Prussian blue oil paint. Extra deep blue (obtained by adding dark brown to the Prussian blue) was used for shading the pocket openings and the underside of the figure. The shoes were painted dark
grey and glazed with black oil paint mixed with Liquin.
So do the figures make a useful addition to your model display? I temporarily attached one figure to the Hellcat I made last year (I really must get round to finishing that one day!). I think he looks pretty good! [11]

TSR 2 STAGE 2 BY RICHARD STEWART
Continued from last month…
Well the plane is still in the construction mode instead of the destruction mode (Still early days though!)
The two fuselage halves went together quite well with no major hick‐ups with a little filler to hide the seams on the front part of the aircraft. The wings or covers hide the center and rear parts. The wings themselves were an easy build but there was a gap where the wing met the fuselage that a little filler helped to disguise.
The air intakes, which I decided to open the auxiliary air flaps, was an interesting project all of there own! The flap covers themselves are too large, which I firstly cut out then had to reduce (Should have looked at my reference material first!). Also Airfix have moulded two recessed bands around the intakes but none of my references shows this. So again out with the filler!
The inner part of the intake is also moulded flush with the fuselage, but it was only the cone part that was flush, so I cut a tiny ‘nicks’ each side of the cone and the extreme ends of the intake and bent them inwards slightly.
I have left all the rear stabilizers and the engine tail section off to reduce masking. Behind the horizontal stabilizers there are stencil markings on the fuselage that will be difficult to fit if in place anyway. The pilots’ windscreen is too wide and a little to shallow at the front so a little filing and filling needed to get to look right.
27
Its time for the undercoat for which a can of Halfords plastic grey primer was used and it went on very well. I sprayed the model with the canopies masked and temporarily in place as a mask and well they need painting anyway!
Well that’s the first part of the painting done now it will be the ‘acid test’ with the topcoat!!
