Hello,
I just recently started with Blood Red Skies.Here some models I just finished:
While I am quite happy with the japanese planes I fear that I selected a wrong colour for the US planes. So I will replace them in future with new models.
A great compliment to Warlord games for the japanese decals – they were great for the A6M2 Zeros !

July 19, 2019 at 3:18 pm #165401Koin-KoinModeratorNice paint job on all of them.
What colour did you use for the Zeros, not sure if you went metallic or not.July 19, 2019 at 4:34 pm #165402BabekParticipantThank you.
For the A6M Zeros I used acryl color from Valleyo (Sky Grey).

Here are my 3d printed Vals

For the B5N I used a jigsaw to cut the torpedo off the plane. This worked quite well.
I knew that by this process material would be lost – so to keep the plane save the torpedos got damaged by the process. So I had to repair the damaged torpedos.
Also, although they were attached historicly assymetric on the plane the torpedos are crossing the contact point of the flight-base. So I first attached the attachment-shells in the plane. Then I cut the torpedo in 2 pieces and put them in front and on the back of the attachment point.
After this I put some filling elements so when someone looks at the torpedo from the side – there is no interruption in the lines. (I sincerely hope that this English is understandable 🙂 Sorry if not ).July 24, 2019 at 9:02 am #165531RenkoParticipantThat’s most helpful – yes I appreciate the asymmetrical torpedo is non historical – and I think looks a bit strange, which is why I’m going to get rid asap
Cheers

The BRS-miniature is excellent, regarding its details – with the exception of the torpedo which even cross the landing gear!Here a good picture of the historical positioning.
The “head” of the torpedo is also more ahead than on the BRS model.
Best regards
