LSP_K2 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 OK, bombs are just about ready for paint. They'll be a mix of RLM 66 and 02, as I've seen both before. Out2gtcha and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Not as much painting on the 'pit as I'd have liked, but I did at least get it dry brushed and scratched up with a Tamiya metalic color. monthebiff, Gazzas and Shaka HI 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just to make sure, I've checked the windscreen fit over the coaming and it looks fine (even though it got bumped slightly out of position before I snapped this shot).

LSP_K2 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Some more paint added to the 'pit; not great, but I can live with it. My brand new spotter brush seems to have gone missing since the last time I cleared the table for a big dinner , so once I find that, I can paint the IP and be done with this portion.

Shaka HI Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Nice...those "creases" need to be blended in a bit! LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Nice...those "creases" need to be blended in a bit! Once I find that spotter, I'll do that. The seat cushion actually has no creases, so I just faked some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Kev Nice progress on the 190; as the weathering for the front office is looking real good Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 any pics of the combing correction, Im not sure what you did Kev Not really, Shawn. All I did was soak it thoroughly with liquid cement, then pried it out and re-positioned it higher and more forward. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 oh ok, I thought it was moulded incorrectly LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 oh ok, I thought it was moulded incorrectly Nope, it was "operator error". The reality, as I see it, is that if you follow the instructions (which I did), there seems to be very little surface for it to adhere to, since the forward portion of the fuselage, is very flimsy. I taped it into position while it dried, but that just forced it down and to the rear (it's sort of a wedge shape), which I didn't notice until after the cement had set overnight and I removed the tape. If I had it to do over (and had the cash), I'd go for the resin 'pit set. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice progress on the cockpit Kevin, Noticed you had a dry fit of the MG 131 cover........are you doing a fully closed up front end on this one? Regards.

Regards. Andy Oh yes, everything closed. I'm not really an open panels kind of guy, normally. I just want to get to the point where I can begin painting the exterior, as that's really my favorite thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
