ShelbyGT500

And the wings are ready - covered with aluminum and riveted: Home-made decals are also done - printed and sealed with email clear varnish: The cannon has a trolley And a stand for the engine: Cheers friends

Hi again guys. Thanks Madmax, I'm glad you like her Well continue with the rivet-lines - two days riveting the fuselage and after that sanding panels at different directions. Just like Gaz said different panels - different shinning I thing it is a good result for now /more weathering at near future, after masks and decals / The canopy also foiled: Aaand tomorrow continue with the wings: Cheers my friends

Yes Gaz, I'm absolutely agree with you. Of course there are a differences between panels When I make a river lines, will sand the panels in different directions, to achieve those differences. Thanks my friend

Yes Gaz, thanks my friend but this is an cold-war-soviet aircraft. There is no polishing over real birds, only clear primer over the flat aluminum for protect. If this plane was an US Saber there will be a LOT of shine polished aluminum This is what has left from an one of our BIS mig's: And this is an UTI after restoration: Just a clear coat of primer to seal the markings and stencils everything over flat aluminum base. And just look at this beauty: I can shave my beard at that mirror-reflection surface Cheers my friend

Well it is time for "paint" over the fuselage and for that I use aluminium foil rubbed with metal sponge 0000 : Cheers guys

Beautiful plane you have got there. Congratulations for the final results, and after all, that is the charming of old model kits - they can by inaccurate, but gives some kind of pleasure when you work over them... Awesome bird Gaz

And the gears are ready: Also the engine VK-1: The gear bays with some weathering: And we have a fuselage .... finally: Cheers friends

And start to assemble the fuselage: Cheers guys

It is time for some paint over the interior parts:

Giiishhhh, that will be AWESOOOME project - my favorite choppa

Yes Gaz, those cannons are really cool, now I must scratch a trolley for it Thanks 1to1scale, there is a lot of aftermarket and if you find the resin canopy you will spare a lot of time to rework the kit one Now it is time for new air-brakes : Also scratch the nozzle cover : Well, the main parts of the bird are done. We will continue with painting the cockpit and assemble the front part of the fuselage. Cheers guys

Hi friends and thanks for all kind words of yours Now continue with detailing of wing surface , flaps and elerons with some etched and aluminium parts: The main gear-covers from the kit were so wrong so I build the new once from Part set+polistirol: And wait a minute - WHAT, there is NO gun in the kit?????? So with a lot of scratch + Master barrels + etched parts - get ready for the "Triple Cannon": Cheers guys

Whit a great pleasure Bill, thanks

Hi Hartmann52 Find something interesting here: LG2-Stab

Hi Gents Well 2018 was a good year for myself with all four completed big birds Start with 1/32 Revell Bell 206 Jet Ranger: The second project was 1/48 scale OA-10A Catalina by revell again: The next project was an Arado Ar 196 A3 at the right scale - 1/32, by revell /it looks like I'm the biggest revell fan And the final one was the A-model 1/72 scale Tu-134 A, with a lit of re-work the result was good for me: Aaand I've got one tank T-72 finished but it is not for this section For 2019 I've got two main projects - first is Mig-15 BIS, that you can see the WIP, and the second will be Bf-109E /my second LSP from WWII/ Cheers my friends and Happy Modelling
