Derek B Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks Derek, that's pretty much what I (try to) do. I think my Milliput is just too old, though I noticed that it seemed get harder after a couple of days, so perhaps curing time slows as it ages too. Kev You may well be right there Kev - I'm still using a ten nyear old stick! I find that the superfine white Milliput - especially if not mixed thoroughly enough - can, if broken up after curing, become crumbly or delaminated. The standard (Grey/Green) Millput, however, has none of those problems, and seems to cure to a much harder state than the superfine white Milliput (for that, read rock hard!). I am really enjoying watching you tackle this project Kev, you are doing an excellent job of it - it will really stand out from any other 190s (or other fighters) when completed Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 OK folks, I've finished all the detailing and correction work that can be done to the lower wing at this stage. There's more to be done, but it has to wait for the wings to be joined to each other, and the fuselage. Here's how it currently looks after a light coat of Mr Surfacer 1200:A bit hard to see much in that photo I realise. Here's a closer shot of one of the new gun bulges:While it's not perfect, I'm really happy with the way this turned out. Well worth the effort!Here's a comparison shot of the stock wing (minus the raised surface detail) and my modified part:I was originally planning to modify both these wings together for efficiency's sake (the other one comes from the Hasegawa 'High Grade' hybrid Dora kit I have), but decided it would be more interesting to see the comparison between the two at the end. Now I have to do it all again! (Actually, I'm planning to begin building the other kit soon, making it concurrent with this one, so look for a new thread soon.)Well guys, what do you think?Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Well guys, what do you think? AWESOME! Love the smooth look.............and not a bit of lumpiness or roughness.Well done man. Will make for a good base for the rest of the conversion. Watching with interest mate........Cheers,Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 AWESOME! Thanks Brian, appreciate you looking in. Looks fantastic mate! Hey Loic old buddy, how've you been? Glad to see you back in the fold mate. Are you building anything? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi Kev, I am doing real good, I am still very busy but good thanks. Am I building anything? Well, nothing right now but that Do335 I bought from Tigger is desperatly calling for some attention ... I just want to avoid starting an other thread that will go dead within a week (just like it happened with all the previous ones I started this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Fan-dam-tastic, Kevin. Did you use that ruler I sent you to measure out the rivetting? Great scribing to boot! Love those ovals. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 GREAT finish to that wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Did you use that ruler I sent you to measure out the rivetting? Yep, you bet! The left side came out straighter than the right, as I used tape as I guide for that one, whereas for the right side I ruled a line in pencil and tried to follow it. Lesson learned: always use tape as a guide! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Buddee Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Wow, that came out really nice! Nice job on the gun cover bulges. You'd never know that bit was a modification. Wonderful! Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Wow, that came out really nice! Nice job on the gun cover bulges. You'd never know that bit was a modification. Wonderful! Cheers, Wolf Thanks Wolf, I appreciate your kind words. If the D-11 sports the same kind of underwing bulges, I'll have to do it all again with my companion build!
