Look near the top of your box that your typing in, there should be some sort of picture icon to click on where you would enter the web address you want to link too. I'm away from home and on my tablet, so I cant quite remember what it looks like, but I'll see if I can better explain when I'm back on my computer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

falcon20driver Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Its looking great. I'm sure the rivets will really stand out with the bare metal paint. It makes EVERYTHING stand out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tomcat Fan Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 some progress, some panels and control surfaces painted gloss black and white, to get diferend aluminium shade and polished then here comes the Alclad... after painting with alclad I discovred that T-bolts had dorsal fin, so this thing will be scratch build... I finnished QB engine.. upgrade it with push rods and wireing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The use of grey, white, and black under the Alclad has worked beautifully, when you want a subtle colour difference between panels. I will try that with my Sabre. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Brilliant (in the voice of that old Guiness commercial a few years back). Painting the panels different base colors before applying the NMF is perfect. A wonderful job on the build so far, I look forward to seeing it finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Nice job. I'm always too impatient to mask and paint different panels. Looks great when done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Fan Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 thx guys... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Fan Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Some progress: dorsal fin made from sheet styren, antiglare panel painted, some minor alclad issues to be fixed.. I see that i will have to reajust and realign the engine.. now, to assemble gunsight and canopy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It looking wonderful. I really need to buy a Jug for myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AX 365 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Your Jug looks great. I like your technique for panel colour variation. Good job. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Fan Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I will not be able to finnish my T-bolt on time. so my build will remain half finnished, sory for that.. I'm building specific plane with specific number on the cowling and I'm waiting for the decals... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm building specific plane with specific number on the cowling and I'm waiting for the decals... That is perfectly understandable. I certainly appreciate your participation in this build! I'll be sure to watch your build progress later if you put it in the in progress section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Too bad you can't finish in time. I'm looking forward to the end result. Good luck and I hope it doesn't take too long for the decals to arrive. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
