Gerhard Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thanks for looking Now I have the good old RLM70/71 fight, because i dont have an airbrush i am limited to the Tamiya spray can range, so I,ve decided to go for AS9 - Dark Green AS24 - Dark Green Luftwaffe I have the same predicament Rob, but I agree with your choice AS9 + AS24. Going to get interesting when mottle cammo has to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 Merry Christmas Modellers Paints have been ordered, just finished the cockpit last night, and thought I'd post just before BBQ christmas lunch can someone please explain how i shape the feed strip of bullets, with the 90deg bend????? sandokan, Piprm and MikeMaben 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahunaminor Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Merry Christmas can someone please explain how i shape the feed strip of bullets, with the 90deg bend????? Merry Christmas matey! The two outer edges are folded back on themselves, over the inner row. This gives them some depth, strength and forms a sort of ammo feed chute. I would then mould that 90 degree bend slowly about stout round object such as a knife handle or paint brush. Work slowly and it “should†flex into shape. Don't be concerned with being a perfectly formed turn. I should add that I am speaking in the hypothetical as I have read it but not performed same task myself. Best of luck and regards, LSP_Kevin, Gazzas and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhard Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Those are really nice. I wonder how they make them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Those are really nice. I wonder how they make them? Machine tools: Lathe. Drill Press. Others. They've really improved the look of so many models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 hello fellows, I had a bit of time on the model, i decided to snap off the guns as they were always going to get in the way of spraying, not very good planing, you idiot The fuselage and wing were generally a good a fit, one side was perfect the other needed a smear of perfect plastic putty, i just need to rescribe a few lines and rivits, then i'll concentrate on the underside radiators and the cannons, great kit so far Uilleann, MikeMaben, Gazzas and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
