  1. Since the Attic lower part of the fuselage is not straigh I must use the kit piece, a piece of plasticard and only the very rear part of Attic resin conversion. I add some plasticard pieces for strengh the entire piece. I used CA glue with Soda Carbonate for gluing the interiors. It is very strong.

  2. Dear Don,

    many thanks for your comment.  Sponsons are from Attic conversion. I saved them from trash can since they are still workable (not 100% accurate). You can see the new rear edges I made making them sharper.

    I made those holes for made them lighter in weight.

    Thanks mates for your comments.

    Here is the last addiction, the Quickbook seats. Much better than original....

    I'm very slow on this project since I would finish some more in order not to have a lot of opened projects and boxes around.... time to time something new is coming out ....

    cheers

  4. I agree with you Marten. I'm building  2 AMXs and I had the same problem. I started with 36270 (Italeri acriilic paints) and after some shadows it changed a lot. Don't worry about the shade of gray. Every plane looks different from another.

    Cheers

  6. As regards the APU exaust, I've decided to remake it from scratch using plasticard, CA glue and bicarbonate of sodium for a strong. I'm going to use my files for a long time in order to give the correct shape of this part!!!

  7. Congrats for this "insane" work on these models and good luck with your health problem!

    I don't know if just "flagged" before but please note that helmets and survival vests/life preservers for  USN-USMC pilots are not correct in those figures. Figures are wearign HGU-56/P helmets instead HGU-84/P.

    HGU-56/P helmets are used by Army pilots and crew. HGU-84/P are used by USN and USMC. USN-USMC pilots and operators Always wear life preservers (horse collar type) and HEEDS pouches with air bottles.

    cheers

    Mauricio looks like My photos are noy showing how do you upload now in the new looking forum :(

    Hi Chhuey,

    the pics are visible by me with Explorer and Mozilla. I've uploaded them using the "choose files" option.

  10. HI there,

    the only update is the care of the external surface of the fuselages. I've made a perfect smooth surface on the external fuselages using Gunze Liquid putty and grey Tamiya primer. I need a perfect surface for the rivetting job.

    I'm going to finish some kits in order to have enough space for the Pelikan inside my window.

    Thanks

    Maurizio
