slick95 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Ok, I got quite a bit finished today...the cockpit, interior, and glued the major portion of the aircraft together and filled and sanded. SLICK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richuk Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Cool work so far Slick. your workbench looks like a ringer for mine. Can't wait to see the finished article. What decals are you going to use? The box ones or those from MAW? Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slick95 Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 What is with the Emlers School Glue? Ha! I was trying something with putting in the windows, but it wasn't working well and I eventually gave it up. The box ones or those from MAW? I'm probably going to stick with the box decals, unless I can find something quick. SLICK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slick95 Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 Sorry I haven't updated in a long time, but i happened to burn my hand and fingers and have been unable to work on models...it's even hard to type this, but I can't stay away from ARC. Anyway, I'm still hoping to finish on time, but we will see. SLICK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Sweeet Slick...Nice progress. Quick question...hows the fit?? and does the kit have raised panel lines? :D Keep up the good work AW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slick95 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) Quick question...hows the fit?? and does the kit have raised panel lines? Yeah...uhm.....the fit is, well, I'll put it at moderate. However, the raised panel lines are near impossible to sand around...but I try. The model is pretty large, and the looks make it rahter exciting, but it's not the best kit. I don't rescribe...only because I don't have the tools and haven't aquired the patience to do so at this stage in my modeling career, but if your someone who doesn't mind redoing the panel lines I would rescribe, at least to make working on it easier. Thanks for the comments! SLICK Edited December 16, 2007 by slick95 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slick95 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Ok, I've decided a week and a half with burns is not going to keep me from building anymore...so I did quite a bit today while watching the Live Chat window Sorry I don't have more pics, but I filled and sanded the fuselage and put together the nacelles. I will fill and sand those tomorrow and it's off to the paint shop for some primer and hopefully the first coat of paint! SLICK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slick95 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Ok, I finished filling and sanding and now it's time to head to the paint shop. However, I've noticed a problem...the blades are too long. I will be cutting them to fit shortly. I have also masked everything. Now onto some pics!

slick95 Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Thanks guys! Here are some pics I just took after removing the mask. I really like the way the paint came out! It sucks that the camera makes these shades of paint lighter than they really are. You kinda have to be here looking at it to see the real colors. I guess it works just like the real thing!
