Curtiss P-40E, Lt. A.D.Clinger, China 1943, 1/32
Tomas Duck replied to Tomas Duck's topic in The Display Case
Hi crackerjazz. You are right with steps on this projects. Primary I use diferent toning of the light gray surfacer. Next step is very important (but this is only my angle of view), I use lot of layers very diluted base camuflage colours. Diferent numbers of layers on diferent places - depend on the real surface wear. It´s longer process, but if you can do it, you are a 99% winner! Next step was applaying lighter or darker tone of base colour, but this step is depend on your filing. Spots on the surface (engine covers, fuselage around cockpit) are made with MRP exhaust spots colour trough -

Hallo guys! I´m very sorry for my very long absence. Enchantress is in "sleeping mode" now, because I have a lot of problems with NMF, I'm still looking for the optimal way to do it. I have actual pic from lower side of engine, where they are finished tubes and his connection to fuel, cooling and oil system. I also have a complete propeller. So, Enchantress is little bit out of production plant, I actually working on P-40E (Adellon Clinger plane), next step will be probably B-25 (both 1/32) with NMF surface - it will be a nice training - and back to the "E" - I hope 😊 Ma

...and this is lower side with suction channel. Fuel strainer and draining box is still visible very vell. Thanks for watching! 😉

Hi guys, on the lower side of engine firewall which is part of wings is fuel strainer and engine drain box. I made it and prepare connection rods for hydraulic and fuel tubes. This units are still visible on the model lower side, but this is maximum which I can able put on this small space.

...and here is the top and bottom view with the wing attached. Thanks for watching! 😉

Hi guys, step by step, slowly to the finish line :-) Not yet, I know... But, I have done both gun bays and glued together with wings. I had to replace twisted heating cables because I wasn´t satisfied with this. Parallel cables are better. I made also guns covers from Eduard PE (yes, I used lot of debonder :-) ). Wings aren´t glued to the fuselage, only for check and photos.

Hi guys, right gun bay is practically finished, only small details are missing, these will be added only after mounting in the wing.

Gun bays. I have complete right bay with guns and cables connected firing solenoids and heating plates. PE Parts are Eduard again. Some small PE parts isn´t still on position, will be glued after insertion to the wing Guns not glued now, only cables and side walls. Guns and bays will be painted separately, it´s to small for any show 😊

...and one top view..

Hi guys, engine compartment is finally done at 99% (some small PE parts missing and I will do some oil leaks). Because I working on this about 3 months I really need some change 😊 Next step will be a gun bays. Thanks for watching 😉
