Bigasshammm Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Those cowls made me violent yesterday. I'm sure I'll have a relapse when I primer and still see seams. Someone needs to do resin replacements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White Wolf Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Those cowls made me violent yesterday. I'm sure I'll have a relapse when I primer and still see seams. Someone needs to do resin replacements. Ultracast does two of them, a flat and a bulged one-piece upper cowl: http://www.ultracast.ca/products/48/264/default.htm http://www.ultracast.ca/products/48/265/default.htm Also exhausts that can be installed after painting: http://www.ultracast.ca/products/48/263/default.htm http://www.ultracast.ca/products/48/262/default.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nickdanger Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Underside radiators installed Nice detailing on the radiators but once again edging towards over-engineered. One radiator is made up of 7 parts (!). I left out the inside actuator arms since they are A very small and B completely invisible: Ready for painting: But first....Siths and Jedis, Conservatives and Liberals, Cats and Dogs....To preshade or not is a question that divides us into two distinct tribes. I am a preshader. Bottom is underside RAF grey and ready for masking to hit the top: Edited April 4, 2016 by nickdanger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nickdanger Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Uhu-Tac worms to get the topside camo painted: Voila: Didn't really need to do the camo in its entirety since the D-Day stripes would cover a fair amount but rather than try and figure out EXACTLY where the green and grey would show through, just blasted through it. Got the masking for the white stripes on: And threw on some (scale) white: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nickdanger Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Decals done. Time to seal it up and do some weathering Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nickdanger Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sludge wash of burnt umber: Wiped off and went over everything with a super thin post shading of Tamiya smoke + red + brown + black: Just need to finish up some subassemblies (namely the beer kegs) and I'll be ready to flat coat and move on to the NEXT Spit ! For that one I think I will do my first what-if / radical / creative paint scheme. Never done anything but realistic Spits. One of my favorite models that I've made was a P-38 for my son to play with: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nickdanger Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Finished ! For the most part a big thumbs up to the kit. Awesome surface detail, excellent decals, and this being my first Royal Class Eduard kit, just love all of the extras (PE, canopy masks, beer glass, etc). When I get around to doing the other Mk IX from the kit I probably will get the aftermarket cowling. Might be the only downside of the kit from my perspective. More pics in the completed thread. On to the 1/32 Revell What-If-Style Edited May 1, 2016 by nickdanger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nickdanger Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Thanks! I'm hoping the next kit goes a little faster. Want to leave plenty of time for the Tamiya 1/32 that I've been hoarding since it came out. Edited May 2, 2016 by nickdanger words Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stefan buysse Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Cool! I figure a lot of us consider building that JEJr with the beer kegs some day, it's going to be very hard to do it so well. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
