A-6A/E Exhausts & F-16 HTS Pod from Sierra Hotel
jenshb replied to allthumbs's topic in LSP Discussion
I see that Curt ("Netz") hasn't visited since 2008, so PM'ing him may not give any results. Would be nice to get some copies of the F-15 wheels I mastered for them some five or six years ago...:( Jens -
The profile of the bow looks a little off for Tirpitz - it looks more like the profile of the Bismarck that had a more concave shape and a shorter length over the waterline. Tirpitz was slighty more vertical (i.e. longer over the waterline) and not as curved. Started modifying the Tamiya kit, and from memory the difference would be around 5 mm in 1:350. Jens

0.03...inches I take it? 0.76 mm?

Don't sell yourself short Kai - terriffic attention to detail in the cockpit, and the pilot figure looks good with all the modifications. As for helmet painting - if you are using a brush, Vallejo Acrylics are very good for brushpainting. Thin with water and mixes easily with each other on a palette thanks to the nozzle in each bottle.

Fantastic modelling and a sexy airplane results. Jens

Fantastic! I hope you find a solution for the dust inside the canopy. Jens

I got the decals I need Rick - thanks to Jennings who printed out the serials for 23546. Started the project some ten years ago, and decided to breathe some new life into it. Where did I put the ejection seats...? Jens

This looks really nice, and I can see myself getting a few of these. Will there be a pointy-nosed option on the sprues? And perhaps full intake trunking? -

Tamiya Spitfire Mk IX Kicked Up A Notch: Last Post
jenshb replied to chuck540z3's topic in Works in Progress
Yep, the bottom of the exhaust shield needs to be thinned to the point where you can see daylight through it, and even then, the leads need to be angled down a bit to make them go together. Jens -

An alternative way to getting that armoured glass look on the windscreen is airbrushing it with Alclad Armoured Glass paint. Unlike the other clear Alclad paints, this doesn't attack the clear plastic (I've never had that happen yet - including Tamiya's clear plastic). If you get orange peel when applying it, let it cure, then micromesh it back to clarity. Here's the windshield I did for my (yet unfinished 1:32 Spitfire). Jens -
Mindboggling plastic surgery going on here... Jens

A very good in-box review. Regarding the original - what was the reason for all that empty space behind the two front seats? Jens
