gunpowder Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Wings are on and all joints sanded and polished. No filler anywhere. This is how all kits should be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJ Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Wings are on and all joints sanded and polished. No filler anywhere. This is how all kits should be! Couldn't agree more! If Trumpeter kits fit as well as Hasegawa kits do with all the extra details..... They'd call 'em Tamiya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F100Hun Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Looks great! I hope I have the same success with the wings on my P-47D. Bill L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Heres the tailplanes. Theres no glue on that joint yet. They are just pushed in. Beautiful fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 It's nice with such a good fit on both the wings and the tail! Looking good! Cheers, Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Heres the amazing Quickboost engine test fitted. This needs to have the magnetos , pushrods and ignition harness adding to it. I lowered the cooling fin section slightly to get rid of that step underneath.

gunpowder Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Well the paint is on and i am exceptionally happy with the way it has turned out so far. I am even happier seeing that i sold my expensive IWATA airbrush and then bought a package from ebay for 2 airbrushes (1 iwata copy and a badger copy) , a silent compressor , filters , jars etc all for £67.99!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT This what i used on this model. Anyway back to the build. This is a great colour scheme. I really have to get another to do as Gabreskis plane. Klear next , decals tomorrow. The preshading doesnt show up in this photo but its there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunpowder Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Decals are on. They are Techmod ones and settled down fantastically with Johnsons Klear as a setting solution. They actually look painted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Looking great, you're nearly there now! Did you make masks for the camo or is it freehand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
