jbrundt Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Nice! Are you using any resin updates? I have the Monogram Hi-Tech kit along with the CE cowl & cockpit. I wasn't sure if I wanted the CE float, however. What color sheme are you planning? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Jeff, AFAIK there are no after products in 1\32 for the Kingfisher, so it's all scratchbuilt, and i tried to fix it as good and accurate as possible, but this kit is a *#@#!!!...to build... Anyhow, i had it planned for the PTO group build, but now i might as well finish it in an earlier version with two tone camo, white and red tail and yellow wings and such. at least, that's what i'll be trying to do....

jbrundt Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Jack, I wasn't aware this was a 32nd project. I assumed it was the Monogram 1/48 Kingfisher. My bad What kit is this or is it totally scratch? I'd love to see details of the interior. I think it'll look great in a pre-war yellow wings scheme. Keep us posted.

Jack Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi Jeff, It's the Combat kit, very, very basic, and ofcourse no interior, bought it from Larry and wanted to contribute to the PTO groupbuild, but "ofcourse" got side tracked with other chores and things. The interior is scratched as good as possible, had some help thru publications like squadron and the internet, and so the interior might not be of "resin-quality" like for the 48th scale kit but it's a representation. I'm shooting the camo this evening and will try to finish it more or less by the end of this week, so there will be pictures of the interior. i'll keep you posted, thnx, Jack.

Jack Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 almost getting there, need to do some washes, decals, "tiny stuff" (antennae, steps, etc.). Still not sure about painting the upper wings yellow.......... J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 A bit more progress, trying to do some accentuating with a pencil iso wash (recessed lines on vacs are mostly too shallow, wide or non existing). Also i should do something about my photo shooting technique....it stinks anyhow, hope you enjoy looking at this project. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTR Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Also i should do something about my photo shooting technique....it stinks Its the usual single light bulb hanging from the ceiling that makes many peoples photography so stinky. Its just to weak for decent photos But if I ignore that, I have to say, its a mighty fine bird you built here. I like it, even though its not exactly my topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hey Kotr....thanks indeed for the tip, it should be so obvious, and i do have a more or less single light source hanging directly over the work bench, so i should be changing that into something more "multi-directional", hope that'll work. i'm pleased you like the subject.....

KOTR Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Best source of light is still our good old sun on a bright, sunny day... ...k, when I look out of my window, or better hear the raindrops hitting the corrugated sheet cover in the opposite yard, there's not much going on with photography this weekend...
