B-17 guy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Nice!! Thats one I've been wanting to do, you have the kits world decals then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Ooohhhh, I'm looking forward to seeing this build! You'll be very happy with the Eduard sets as well. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Nice!! Thats one I've been wanting to do, you have the kits world decals then? Yes, they are the Kits World decals, haven't used them before but they look pretty good. Will use some of the decals that were provided with the kit also to supplement what's not provided by the Kits World sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bashace Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Fuselage interior, gotta love that Vallejo-Air Aluminum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ooooohhhhh, very nice and shiny... off to a heck of a start! You know, even though there's over 36 different builds of various Forts going on, it's still not anywhere close to being boring seeing another fort get started. This is great stuff! Cheers, Mark.

bashace Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 After a short deployment to Iraq, it's time to get cracking again. Started with some of the easier tasks to get the juices flowing again. Cutting the True Details wheels from the slag blocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Cutting all them pesky engines and firewalls from the resin went alot faster when I busted out the R/C airplane razor saw instead of using the fine modeling one.

bashace Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Began the arduous task of drilling out all the pushrod holes on each engine, thankfully most of the holes (too small for my "Hemi" pushrods) were molded in to use as a guide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Engine with primer and paint applied waiting for weathering and pushrods to be installed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Engine with pushrods installed and some weathering, nothing too fancy, just trying to spruce up the look in the cowls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Now it's time to make that shiny new interior look a little used. Edited August 8, 2011 by bashace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
