KitmodellerNZ Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Totally blown away by your work. I am currently building a TBM-3 and am almost at the stage of closing up the fuselage. Although mine is just OOB without anything extras except a pilot figure from my Hasegawa P-47 which fits perfectly. Durangokid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Bryan, your painting and weathering is just out this world. I am utterly impressed... Durangokid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtiger1 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The turret glass is a perfect fit. Fuselage was a perfect fit. Considering all the different interior assemblies, that is quite the accomplishment by Trumpeter. Wings and clear parts are just dry fit. Perfect fit there too. This has really been a fun kit so far. The wings fit so well that I'm considering painting the separate. Nice project you have you going here. I have one of each of these kits and need to build them someday...hopefully soon. As for the good fits you are finding out throughout your build is due to the great kit trumpeter copied...Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Avengers kit. Anyway, I always enjoy your builds so follow along I will Durangokid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkE Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 wow!! I really like this Bryan. I just saw this wip photos and I am impressed. How did you adress painting the floor in radio compartment to the aft section, since there are two colors? Dirk Durangokid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durangokid Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Well my updates have slowed a bit. I've just been so busy and I was waiting for my Maketar masks to show up. I don't have any big updates other than everything is all together and has a coat of black primer from Alclad. I also received the mask for the marking and got those started. Everything fit very well with only a few adjustments. Even the engine cowl fit great, just need a little shim on the top. I'm really happy with the way the IP turned out I probably do my masks differently than most. Doing it this way helps me align everything and not get those heavy paint lines. This way the circle doesn't get out of shape and stays nice and round. I start by painting the white part for the star... Then put down the star mask Then paint the blue area Then cover the blue I know it looks crazy but it works for me. This is how I did my Corsair and it came out nice. I forgot to mention that I added some wiring to the landing gear legs. It's easier for me to use .10 and .15 styrene rod rather than the metal variety. The trick is to use a very small amount of glue... Thanks for stopping by fellas. Oh and sorry for the not so great pics, my good camera is having some issues with the batter Shawn M, Trak-Tor, Guyman1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Beautiful work on the interior. I love the chipping, especially the use of non-metallic colors. Durangokid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Terrific work, Bryan! And for what it's worth, I totally endorse your order of masking and painting the markings. I'd do it this way too. Kev Durangokid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
