Bill_S Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Progress. While waiting for the cockpit to arrive, I got out the MM Metalizers. The camera flash makes things seem lighter than they actually are. Based on photos, I've seen a bit of soot on the outside of the exhaust nozzles. I took a hammer to a charcoal briquet, and rubbed it in. Then a coat to seal it. And the Aires pit finally arrived! Lots of fiddling to get the lower fuselage join just right... A good wash of the nozzles is in order, then let the painting and PE begin!

LSP_Paul Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Bill, Your Aires Pit sure looks nice! I used the BB pit before Aires released theirs, If I do another F-4 I'll use the Aires one. All the best to you and your build and keep up the good work! Paul Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best to you and your build and keep up the good work! Paul Paul, The Aires pit is beautifully cast. The only drawback (to me) is the PE seat belts. Lots of tiny PE pieces, too. My eyes hurt just thinking about it. Bill Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Not much progress to show tonight; lots of PE work. The carpet monster reared its ugly head, on the smallest piece (#4) on the fret. Luckily, it is the one that Aires included extras for! Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 It's been a PE weekend. Lots of tedious work, and little to show for it. I did manage to get the seats ready for some paint - finally. Whitey and Girlscanplay2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Stoner Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Great job on the belts. They are a pain but look sweet when done. Go Phantoms Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Good show Bill ! Can't wait to see some color splashed on .....Harv Thanks, Harvey. It's going to be a bit before I start painting. lots of disks to punch for the IP! Great job on the belts. They are a pain but look sweet when done. Go Phantoms Paul Paul, I've never had much luck with PE belts. These, however, bent more like lead than brass - and without annealing! The parts count was daunting; almost 30 pieces per seat just for the belts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
