What did you use for the belts?

I have heard great things about mrp. When I built it, three was not a lot of aftermarket available. The true details were also very cheap. If I was building it now then I would definitely recommend adding some details from eduard. I am thinking of coming back to it and swapping out the landing gear and tires when they become available.

This was a 1 piece base produced by squadron. They had a killer black Friday deal. All I had to do was paint it in one night.

First ever Russian build. Lots of fun with the metal finish. Paint used was Alclad Airframe Aluminum.

I decided to add resin wheels from True details to show proper weighted wheels. I did not care for the standard gun barrels that it came with and so I decided to try the brass set from Master. In addition to this, I had a leftover resin seat from the old legend series that was lying around. Other details that were added were the antenna wires and wiring that connected to the batteries. For painting I started with a black basing technique with a mottle pattern with various colors. Full article at Wasatch Modeler

According to this build they filled in just some of the lines.

So i am in progress with the Tamiya P-38 and am coming under the dilemma of panel lines. Which do we need to fill in at the seams? According to this blueprint there are a few that need to be filled in and some that do not when looking at the top and bottom of the booms. Yet I see conflicting information with some real life photos. Anyone have some info on accuracy? .

As normal, I was playing with my phone when I should have been paying attention during church and stumbled upon a few photos of a downed FW190 that caught my eye. I was then inspired to recreate the aircraft. I spent some time researching what happened with the crash but was unable to pull up much detail from the story. I took this as an opportunity to add some creative license and not base it on actual events. I had lying around an 1/48 Eduard FW190 that I bought on sale a while back. this is a great kit with good detail and I felt a bit bad destroying it but it only co

Windsor and Newton for flat. Aqua gloss sometimes otherwise the tried and true Future for gloss.

Looks like the sanding and buffing will work. When I was trying earlier, I was not going deep enough. Will send photos of the before and after.

Lately I have been using tamiya cement to fix my clear parts and it has been working well until now. I had a little too much solvent on my brush and got a little drip on the windscreen. What can I do to fix? Tried sanding it smooth but it looks like it changed the clear plastic into white plastic... Thinking 1. Drill out and fill in 2. Cover with "Oil drips" from prop (this is the AH-1Z) 3. Try to get a new part from Academy?

Finished. Took Gold in 1/32 Prop Aircraft and Best WW2 American Aircraft.

Took gold along with Best WWII American Aircraft!

Hopefully not too dirty. Wanted it to look as it did in theater. Entering it into competition this weekend...

Great job. Inspires me for my next project. Only advice I might give is that the wheels look clean compared to the rest of the model.

Haven't posted in a while but here we go... Tamiya p-51D in 1/32 Baracudacals placards HGW seat belts Cushion/inflatable made out of putty

This is my build of the Great Wall Hobby kit in 1/48. My link

The instructions for the for the F4U-1 say xf-5:2 + xf-8:1 that's two parts flat green and one part flt blue. So kinda a blue/green on early birdcages. I chose a darkened zinc chromate. I am not sure when they chose to go to a black sidewall. The manual for the 1a has a yellow/green for most of the cockpit.

Engine is stock but I added wire with Solder wire.

Finished with cockpit. Using Barracuda Decals and HGW fabric seat belt
