    Thanks, guys!  I have hitch up my britches and get some paint in that compartment and the wheel well. I'm pretty sure the compartment would be in white, but the well could be OD or maybe white. I'm still looking for color schemes for a dull, faded OD bird. I have the Squadron books and that's about it. Any other references or sites I could consult? TIA- and cheers!

    Oh my!  I just found this.  Happy guy now.  Thanks for showing us your talents Chuck!  I'm really looking forward to this one and all the previous works or art.

    Cheers, Troy!  You can my earlier works at http://chukw.blogspot.com/  So glad I ordered the sander and router sets- they live on my bench at all times now!

    Fantastic work, Chuck! And ironically, I have all those new tools you mention, but have yet to use any of them. I did try the magnifier set, but couldn't get them to work with my glasses. Admittedly, I didn't try the headband option, which I probably should do, but the main issue was that they didn't work with my multi-focals. I ended up shelling out $500 on a new pair of glasses tweaked to suit close-up work, but haven't tried them in combination with the new magnifiers yet. In fact, I've barely tried them at all! I guess I have some work to do...

    Cheers, Kev!  You will love the Davis Union tools- I use them whenever I sit down to model now. As for the magnifers, the model I have needed some sharp edges on the headpiece to use with the headstrap. I've ended up going back to the 'glasses' option and love the ease of use- and the super-bright LEDs. Good luck with yours!

    Hey Chukw.  

     

    I though I sent you a PM last week?  So sorry.  What Turbo has already mentioned.  Exactly.  You can hone an interior of a part with sandpaper wrapped in the slit of that particular bit .  My bad for the delay.

    No worries, troy- I didn't receive that message, but I have been using both tools with great satisfaction- cheers!

    I have a lot of pics of this aircraft taken at the NAS Whidbey Island Open House- let me know if there any areas you'd like to see. The cockpits were not avaiable, nor were the engine nozzles, as might be expected. We live in the one of the approaches to the Outlying FLCP Field and get our treetops mowed all too often. ;)

    Thanks, LSP Mike and Mustang1989!

     

    Wow, Mark- you really came through!  I've downloaded a lot of those cockpit pics already, and found one of a derelict with very interesting IP coamings. On the pilot's side it has a circular opening for the sight, and it protrudes outward over the IP. On the co-pilot's side is a rectangular opening. I also have a pic of a bad copy of an nth generation xerox and you can just dope out a flat box with rounded ends fore and aft- like certain cameras. What the lens at the front looks like I do not know, but it seems to have filmed through the windshield. I'll Google Grumann gun camers of the 50s- 60 s and try my luck. Boy, that manual site is so unrealistic- 44 bucks for a PDF download of one manual? LOL! Anyway, thanks agin and cheers!
