Scooby Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Alien made me go for a walk. We actually haven't upgraded our Pods yet. So we are still using the same one. I found six pods on our hanger floor. All were sealed in their travel cases. We still have one pod up but that jet won't be back until the evening. I think I know what Alien is talking about. But the pod does have the opening and isn't fully encapsulated. But I have to take another look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 ...Slow progress here: This is the seat so far. This is the wash after the gloss coat. I'll flat coat it, dry brush it, then finish up the detail painting. Still needs some hoses as well. Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 Same act for the AIM-7. The tip weights are BMF. Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 Hey, if it works in the real world, why not in 1/32 scale, eh? Happy New Year. I thought you might recognize that! I didn't do it any justice..I just slapped it together! I needed to keep the missile off its fins Back at cha' for a happy new year. '05 will be better for all of us!

FrankC Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Pete, that's looking great! Are you using an aftermarket pit? Looking forward to more photos --Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 ! Are you using an aftermarket pit?--Frank Hi Frank! ...The seat is the Cutting Edge flavor. I've got the Cutting Edge and Black Box pit for this..they are both excellent. I think I'll use the C.E. for this and use the BB next go around :lol: ...Love your P-40 by the way! and of course, your Spad is one of my all-time favorites! Excellent to hear from you, and your avatar still cracks me up :lol: Regards, Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tilt Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hey Pig, Nice work on the Hornet. Love them 'tip weights'!! I actually got in a little modeling over the break. Got some paint on my 1/48 TMOTA Tiger Jet. I'll post some photos later this week. Happy New Year to you and the rest of the ARC crowd. Tilt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KRI76 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Wonderfull work, Pete! Any chance of seening some bigger pictures? Your masterpieces sure would deserve it!!! /Kristian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Gudbergsson Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Looks awesome pete :D just awesome. You really inspire a guy to kick his skill level up a notch.......or quit the hobby all together Looking forward to more pics. Cheers :) Andy G BTW are those the Two Bobs decals on the AIM-7?

Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 BTW are those the Two Bobs decals on the AIM-7? Thanks Andy! (Love the progress on your Viper!) The markings on the AIM-7 are from the Academy kit. A good reference check here is in order, as the long horizontal brown stripes are incorrectly shown in the instructions as going on the AIM-120...

Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Ok Gents, Once the wash dried, I flat-coated the seat..let that dry, then dry-brushed the seat. Here is the result. Final detail paint is next.... Regards, Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tilt Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 As usual....great work Pig!! The finish is spot on. Can't wait to see your work on the rest of the 'office'. Cheers, Tilt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richy Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 hi pete, happy new year. I am happy to see that you are building the big academy hornet. I think that you will finish yours before mine The paint job is great on the armament. Send us a lot of picts it's always a pleasure to see your work in progress Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I.Illes Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Holy cow, Pete! (...and a happy new year!!! :) ) You´re coming along nicely! Good idea to start the armament first, then you have the worst part behind you (don´t tell him about the intakes, guys <_< ) Seriously: the intakes are the only parts that cause a little headache, but it´s abolutely doable if you´ve ever finished a 1/48 Hasegawa Hornet. It´s basically the same. As for the ordnance: very nice and detailed paintjob! :) István Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 Ok... I've detail painted the seat, washed and flat coated the AIM-7. Still need some hoses on the seat..I'll dry brush the AIM-7 tomorrow..My eyes are crossed.. Regards, Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 Istvan elluded to one of my zen-approaches to modelling: I try to do the things that I dislike the most first, that way I wont rush through them. My theory is if I do the construction that I really don't care for up front, while I'm still motivated about the project, I'll do a better job on the parts I hate to do Got it? Anyhoo... I've started the Black Box GBU-12's. I sanded off that Navy non-ablative goo, and opened up the back of the fin assembly (the big hole in the back here) Regards, Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richy Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hello pig, what ordonance are you going to do on your bug ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hello pig,what ordonance are you going to do on your bug ? Hi Richy, Before I answer, let me say :( :D about your Hornet project. Simply stunning work there my friend! I've been watching your thread & I am blown away. Seems like we are always working on the same model, eh? As far as the loadout goes; this will be a typical Allied Force load: -2X GBU-12 -2X AIM-9 -1X AIM-7 -3X tanks - AAS-38 pod -Chaff/Flare Regards! Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
