mpk Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Hey guys. Here's a model I began while waiting for things to dry on my Tony. Hubert inspired me to check out the Oscar. I discovered a had a full Eduard PE set so thought this would be a good example on which to practice PE, to see if my fingers could manage it. I am portraying a post war Indonesian example, so I lightened the aotake blue as if it had faded. Also with the cockpit being so tiny I figured the lighter the better. I still have to fit the IP. I was confused by the instruction sheet by Eduard but now realise it glues to the upper section of the fuselage. In between working on the Tony I will assemble the IP. I also made the engine more colourful than accurate because having built several 1/48 Oscars I know one can hardly see it. I am following Hubert's example and not re-scribing. I want to see how it looks. The only problem is sanding around the raised detail. [EDIT] After PB's purge, here are some older pc's with some of where this model is up to now.] The little box above was 5 PE parts and was a challenge but my fingers did it! The box near the floor I decided to switch out the PE handles for pieces of stretched sprue. Another PE box. Great to have Airscale decals handy.

LSP_Mike Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Nice work. If the 'pit is not glued in yet, you might take a larger drillbit and thin the holes in the seat from the rear. Gives a scale look. Shaka HI and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Thanks Mike. The pit is glued to the port side but I have access. Playing drums soon. I may do it tomorrow. Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Dale..you're getting very good with the cockpits! I like your interpretation of Aotake -- it looks just right. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 As this is nothing but a practice plate, I decided to really dirty up the wheels. Gazzas, Shaka HI and 109 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I agree! Weathering looks fantastic on those wheels! mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohm-men Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Quiet a stunning result you achieved! I really like your take on the Oscar. Imho the raised detail looks good/realistic. Your doing a great job on this old lady! I'm always confused regarding the cockpit colours on the Perigine Falcons... though the Aotake looks really good!
