Aaronw Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The Monogram 1/72 Boeing F4B-4 There is no interior detail, so I made up a basic interior from styrene sheet and strip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ok, after a long delay I have finally got some work to show. I'll be using decals from Starfighter, set 72-102 F4B-4 Part 1. I've selected an F4B-4 from VB-5 assigned to the USS Lexington in 1934. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Litvyak Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 That's looking great! I don't envy you the task of rigging in 1/72! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Eh, rigging these interwar fighters isn't nearly as bad as the WW1 aircraft. I tried out Starfighter decals photo etch rigging. Kind of mixed feelings, it is definately easier than my usual cut wire method, but it isn't as stiff. Maybe just a matter of technique but it doesn't look as crisp to me with some of the wires looking kind of wavy. With a day to spare I'm done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Great build - I love it! Interwar aircraft really have a distinctive character of their own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
