john53 Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Nose job, for plane and bombs.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) I am going with the scheme from the box art, it's easier just use the kit decals, Bitburg Germany 1965. No OD on the wing tanks so it makes painting easier for me also.---John Changed picture....other was D...this shows F and D.....oooopppssss! Also F in foreground is plane 304 Monogram did decals for! Edited September 26, 2018 by john53 wrong model....D not F Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 I started decalling, painted the exhaust petals-speed brakes, outsides are light gun metal and insides are burnt iron, and finished detail painting the bombs. The decals are the kit decals, they are miserable to work with, don't want to slide, curl over, are glossy and the blue in the tail stripe is way too light. Everything is going like a typical Monogram build, hunky doory!!!!!---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It's looking great through all the ptoblems. A typical Revelogram is more like this . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Thanks, been there done that. I have more decalling done. I did the gear doors.Once I finish these group build models up and a few more I am hopefully going back to modeling armor and vehicles. This wing thing is getting too nerve racking, too much sanding and filling and straightening, rather do some tanks, they also take up less room. My first love was AMT 3 in 1 cars, really looking forward to a Muscle Car build!---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Decals done. Now to finish the wheels and bombs.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 I have more work completed. Inner gear doors on, main landing gear and wheels, fuel dump and another overflow pipe near the tail hook. The main landing gear needed massaging. I don't remember where but I read in a review that the Monogram kit has a "bowlegged" problem, it has something to do with I think the wing dihedral? Whatever it's TRUE, they need a little "coaxing".---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
