This model was done some 20 years ago and I used "silly putty" to create the cammo pattern.
I first sprayed the model with the kaki green, I then applied hundreds of small pieces of "Bule Tac" and spread it out in all kinds of weird shapes
I then sprayed the desert brown over the top of all that and then removed the4 blue tac and what was left behind is this Leopard pattern.
I like it and that's why you are seeing it too.

she has aged well! That is a lot of putty pellets!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

yeah, nice job on the putty blobs!
Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others

Hey that's really cool - it looks superb and nice job on the putty camo - it seems to have worked well.
I need to get me a Ju-87 at some point.

Awesome work with that kind of scheme, and kudos for taking the time (or having the patience) to actually put on that many putty spots. I think I'd be having nightmares of being attacked by a large wad of blue tac after that!
Re: Tamiya's 1/48 Ju-87 in desert cammo.
Yeah, and it was strange that it was my son who came up with the idea of the pellets, so he is the one who should get all the credits, as I just held the air brush.

There's one question about that model that really bites me:
How the heck did you find it again under that mountain of Blue Tac?
Looks great to my eye. Surely nothing for the "embarass yourself"-thread.

It did take some time, but it was like playing with playdoh with my kids all over againJimD wrote:Wow. Great stuff. The camo is awesome. That took a lot of patience I imagine.
I had a fair idea of the outcome, and in fact, I thought I 'overdid' the whole thing, but now that I am looking at some of the cammo schemes they came up with, nothing would surprise me.
Thanks for your nice comment.
