tomv87 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Nice start so far Petrov. I am so glad that someone is producing these great Russian aircraft in 1/32. I want to get one for myself. I will be watching with interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah - thanks for the feedback as it confirms my feelings about the panel. The bits went into acetone this morning - hopefully that will take off the paint. Then we will see! Does anyone have any references/pics of Russian WW2 instrument faces? Will be doing the google I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 hi I have already experiment etched pre painted eduard IP one my Spit XIX , I didn't try to stripped off the paint , I only sprayed a thin layer of matt black , and then dry brushed it to highlight rise details .......here is a view of the instrumental panel , it seems to be overall black Alain picture from Aviation of world war II site tomv87, sandokan and Iain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Thanks - thats a good shot - found a few more online so hopefully should be able to print some instrument faces or figure something out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 hi take a look at " air scale" dials and gauges , despite there are no decals for Russian AC , i think you could find something interesting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 What a lovely subject - look forward to seeing her come together - lovely work so far! This looks like another 'ace' from HpH... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Photo etched soaked over nite and the pre-paint removed. tomv87, sandokan, Zero77 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) The etch is otherwise good - I may just see if I can strip the paint off the whole thing and paint it myself and add some instrument decals (not sure anyone does WW2 Russian instrument decals?) Anyone have experience with stripping the paint off these etched parts and what works for it? It seems to be on there pretty good and fairly thick.... You can just overpaint it with a coat of primer and then make your own paint job. Otherwise, a bath of acetone should do the job. Edit : sorry, i did not read the thread until the end, so i did not notice that you have already done it ! By the way, you did a great job on ths build !

petrov27 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Spent the last several weeks tinkering on the cockpit for this build - so many little photoetched bits, all the individual airscale instrument gauges, etc - took forever but I think this is as good as I am gonna get it. Probably close up the fuselage here tonight.... williamj, Shawn M, Hubert Boillot and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
