1to1scale Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Tonight I was able to get a couple hours to do a little airbrushing, so it was time to paint the engine and all the bare aluminum pieces. Again I spent some time getting frustrated with the EZline, I think I need a faster setting CA glue. I used Loctite Red, but need to look at alternatives. sandokan, Out2gtcha and Whitey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Finished the engine tonight, used a total of 6 different metallic colors and white, also a black wash of the cylinders.

1to1scale Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 I finally got a chance to assemble the cockpit, it's a great feeling getting to this point. And this is the frustrating part, all that work...here we are... MikeMaben, Whitey, Jeff T and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanKB Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Superb job on that cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) I test fit the cockpit to the lower wing and fuselage halves this morning, with the top cowl on, its a little wide at the top. I suspect I need to sand a little paint off the ribs to make it fit a little better. Thankfully, I always dry-fit everything before I apply glue. The fit problem seems to be toward the front near the firewall. I will address these later and start painting the wings and fuselage tonight.

1to1scale Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Well, it's been a few weeks since I touched this, but I wanted to clean up and reorganize my work area. I also wanted to complete my BF-109G6. I have also been selling off two-thirds of my 1/72 stash and some old car kits I will never touch. I also whipped together my Meng Whippet while I was at home with an injured back last week. But now I am back on the Snipe. I did a little work this past weekend doing a lot of scut work, I drilled out rigging holes, did some final detail painting, sanded the cockpit assy for a better fit, and finally glued the fuselage all together, it was a little more work getting the fuselage together than I anticipated. But, finally, its one big chunk now. More updates to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Love the dials! They (and the workmanship) make you feel like you're looking at more than bits of plastic put together. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
