Wow ma'an!  your work is amazing!

 

Been following from the start... highly educational.

 

I liked the use of vinyl for detail work.  first time I see this technique. 

 

One question... what kit of vinyl do you use? 

 

Thanks, and congrats on superb work.

Dang! I see this took quite some time to complete, but it's awesome! :jaw-dropping: Good thing I'm comfortable with my comparatively schlock modeling skills...

On the wing tip lights. It looks like you prepared the lights, attached them to the wing tip, faired them in, and then masked them to continue on with finishing. Is that right?

Exactly correct, though the wasn't much preparing of the light material.  I cut a rectangular cube glued it in, then sanded the whole wingtip to shape.  The light has a larger crossection and the wing tip airfoil so you get the bulged appearance.  That bulge was all done with light material and filler, blended to the kit wing.

 

As always thanks so much for following and the kind comments!

 

Timmy!

Thanks for the tip Timmy,

just a followup question... what kind of glue do you use for it, or is it self adhesive?

 

Again thanks,
