Build topic here: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=55181&hl=

Sliding canopy part glued with epoxy, and whole airframe sprayed with Humbrol satin cote, more will follow after drying.

Humbrol satin cote applied, will leave it to dry till tonight,

Nearly finished, wrong oriented Dutch roundell on wing topside corrected, Humbrol Gloss cote oversprayed , clear canopy parts glued, using UHU plus two component epoxy ( its clear and strong, just need 24 hrs to set). Just antena wirring need to be done.

Fast ? , i have this weekend as a deadline to finish these 3 kits and proceed to my AEROPOXY resin kits production after a month of "vacations". So, tonight-decalling, tomorrow, final touches and coat of lacquer... Aeromaster decals provided are just fine,

Yes, use decals provided by AZUR/FRROM. A little too lemon yellowish, but will correct this with some overspraying later . Maybe the Aca - Maketar mask will try with some masks ?

Decalling...stencils, The neverending story,

Yes, Kev, its good fit, no need for any glue, filler or any work on the seal.

Hope this weekend will be decaling time, paintwork is done, glossy finish for decals completed, all the details finished, just some weathering/shading/chipping after the decals are applied, will be done.

Painting and last touches before decaling , two coats of PRONTO ( some sort of Clear/Future) applied as a decal base.

Yes,instructions say's RLM 64/83 and i use Revell 363 for topsides. Undersides , RLM 76 or Sky Blue, find that Revell 49 is OK. IAR is painted, and two coats of PRONTO ( some sort of Clear/Future) applied as a decal base. Tomorrow is scheduled decals applying, weatherind, shading and other tricks to give this kit more life.

Some "tweaks" are required to complete canopy structure, later masked and airbrushed interior green , And airbrushed this huge airframe...

Just a paintwork done, Rudder state tricolor i rather sprayed than use provided decal.

Few days of work, Canopy masked, And airframe airbrushed,

Well, i Well, i just speed up , with 3in1 ( 3 kits on 1 workbench) to finish it and clear the workspace and my resources for few new Aeropoxy projects scheduled for MosonShow, Hungary april 18-19 ( http://www.mosonshow.hu) and DANUBE1255 ,Serbia, may 9th. ( http://www.dunav1255.com/ ). Looks like fast build but these builds ( Avenger/T33 and IAR) shown accumulated work proces from past two months. RGDS

Another project, third one in 2015, IAR 81C, Nice kit, fine details, have no real problem with assembly , despite its short run quality. Just a little more preparing for the kit parts. More will follow...

TipTanks test fitted, polished and primed on some areas,

Thanx for the nice comments, its a long way to finish this model, but for now it goes well. Good work on your site presented, Meindert, visit it and check the progress regularly. Using your Warner build as a refference. Not much work done, polishing, panel lines rescribing and rivets restoring ( using RB Productions rivetting tools ). And just checking /dry fitting the Avenger/Warner size.

Another model on my workbench , started few weeks ago, Czech Model T33A , Will present Luftwaffe T-33A-5-LO, No. 9524 finished in Dark Green and Medium Gray over Light Gray with Fluo Red-Orange tip tanks , like this one, Despite Short Run kit nature , build goes pretty straighforward, and ready for coat of primer,

As usual, sanding is the main work when mixing different media parts, resin and styrene, and lot of filler should be used... starting with 360 grit Body ...

Additional vertical fins, removed and rescribed some panels and pylon position holes, Nice etched wing folding mechanism parts glued,

Starting with fuselage, radar operator door modification, And cockpit, Some heavy surgery required, and Braz resin parts glued, need to precisely adjust kit parts and resin set details, And lot of filling required, ( actualy, super glue and resin "dust"),

First build this year, and large one, Trumpeter TBM 3W Avenger #02234 converted to TBM-3W "Warner" AEW version, using Braz resin set BZ3002 and Flevo decals FD32-005. and should represent this one, Dutch Naval Air Arm (Marine Luchtvaart Dienst MLD)

Nicely done, great work, If you need brief translation of latest photo, there is, shortly, an deflectors IL-2 , landed south of Harkov (Charkow) and surrended to Hungarian units , summer 1941. Rear fuselage have mounted additional stringers outside the fuselage skin, as a field modification to improve fuselage strenght. Red stars on fuselage are outlined with thin black line. RGDS
