speedlimit Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Here is my project for this build. Here is where I start. I used the eduard pe, though not the right color, they look a nice busy dials, knob cockpit. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Nice start, I can not wait to see how this one turns out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

speedlimit Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 A little progress whenever I get a chance. Cutoff some blackbox resin cockpit to salvage some bits and attach to the kit's panel Taped off some panel area to paint black. Used some blackbox seat and cutoff the resin block as well as prepare some resin FOD covers to spray some primer. And maybe use some aires resin flaps or kit's flaps. I will see when I get to cut it off. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Very nice, this is shaping up to be a great model Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Some more progress...time to mate left and right fuselage. A little bit of plumbing to make it a little busy. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Looking good. I love it when the major parts start to come together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 More progress Cutoff the ailerons. Will droop them later. Will need to use some half round styrene stock and some putty. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Today's effort. Got the main fuselage mated with the wings. That is all for now as I go into a two week hiatus for some much needed R & R. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kurt H. Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Looks like you are getting close to paint, looking great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Got a couple of hours on the bench right after dinner to spray some primer to check flaws. Let it dry for tomorrow and hope that just a few minor things to touch up so I can go ahead and shoot the basic paint...WHITE! http:// http:// cheers, Eric Edited November 4, 2016 by speedlimit Too big Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Oh no it looks like photobucket is having issues again so I can not see your work. I am sure it is looking great, based on the pictures I saw earlier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) Trying some catching up to do with the build. Done with the overall white painting as well as the black radome. Next will be the exhaust and other NMF parts. Eric Edited November 19, 2016 by speedlimit File to big Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Looking good, time to start masking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Start doing the NMF part. Tried to have different shades. Also, I had time to paint the other small parts as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Next will be a little bit of smoke to darken some corners on the NMF then off to the decals. Eric Edited December 4, 2016 by speedlimit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 nice work. The blue on those fuel tanks is just about flawless, and that NMF area looks very convincing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tobiK Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Try also some pastels applied with microbrush on the NM area. But before put some dull cote on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
