williamj Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Just picked this up from Ron(Old Troll,good guy to deal with) on PT and just had to get at it..put everything else on hold. What a marvelous kit..I do plan on embellishing it somewhat though.. Wings are prepped and painted,, floor, seat,instrument panel done(Airscale)...turning to the fus. Cheers for now.Bill. This is the one...found the perfect shade of blue paint for it as well. Edited April 26, 2017 by williamj mpk, Jan_G, Tnarg and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Bill Looking forward to the the P6-E build, as I've had the kit in my stash since it was first released. Which paint is the 'perfect blue" Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnarg Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I love that raptor claw, so much so that I used it as a personal logo on a printed circuit board design I did over 20 years ago, inside the product where no one could see it, but we knew it was there. This should be a beautiful build. Tnarg williamj and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Bill, Will be pulling up a chair and following your build with great interest, as the P6-E is another personal favorite of mine. Excellent start. Those Gloss yellow wings really do look great. Joel williamj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dog Flying Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hi Bill: That is going to be a winner. Here is a very old slide from 1954 with 2 P6Es; the larger is a Berkley control line kit while the smaller version is "box scale" of unknown origin.

williamj Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Cockpit done...reworking prop hub.thin walled brass tubing... Going to button it up today(ya I'm up early) and do a bit of detailing on the fuselage.and scratching up a new windscreen from thin acetate. You know sometimes a high quality resin kit(like Silver Wings)is more pleasure to build than some mainstream plastic. Bill. Tnarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanKB Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Looking superb! Yellow & blue, what's not to like?! I wish HpH would contact Silver Wings and take some hints on how to produce resin kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
