nspreitler Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I started a T-6 Texan, since it is pretty simple kit and should look good when completed. This will be straight OOB with the kit decals, since the trainer yellow is a nice scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bashace Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Excellent kit! Have a U.S. Marines SNJ on the shelf from that kit. Edited July 28, 2018 by bashace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Got started on this a couple days ago. I'm really impressed. The interior is pretty nice, and the fit is really good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 The fit on this kit is very good, it went together easily and is almost ready for paint. Masking the canopy will be the most time consuming part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 That looks really good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 It is looking great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Painting has started, using Alclad white primer thinned a little with Mr Color Leveling thinner which just seems to make any lacquer better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Nice progress. And I can believe masking that canopy took longer than everything else combined. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The canopy took awhile to mask. There are beveled corners on the frames, which is really a nice touch but time consuming Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nspreitler Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 I opted to paint the orange instead of using the decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Decals are on, and I'm impressed. There are some compound curves to decal over and this is one of the best engineered decal sheets I've ever seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Nice progress, a few more sessions and you will be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Looks great so far. What yellow paint did you use? I have one with the white base coat but not sure which yellow paint to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks! Looking forward to seeing yours completed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 No pictures this evening, but a little more progress, the prop and wheels are on. The only parts left are the landing gear doors and then a little paining for the exhaust and some clear coats and it will be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Finished. Really fun kit, not much trouble, nice decals OOB. In the pictures I noticed the landing is crooked so I fixed that afterwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Nice work! You made it look very easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Nice job. This is one of the good things about Group Builds, until I saw your build I was never interested in this kit. Now that I have seen how nice yours turned out I am going to have to try and find one. Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites
