Anthony in NZ Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Thanks for the update Dave. I know what you mean. I am away a lot for work and when I arrive home it doesnt feel right to walk in the door and go straight to my model desk! I think my wife and son would have something to say about that! I am off to look at your other one now, but hey take your time on this one...it is a masterpiece.. Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Hi Dave Quick question mate. Any tricks to removing the wing tank bay covers on the lower wing? I have removed the outer ones but the inner ones just daunt me! It took forever to remove the outer ones......any tricks or did you just use a big file like I am? Cheers Anthony Edited February 12, 2011 by Anthony in NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwing Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I think you are talking about "grain of wheat bulbs"?? Don't need those as they typically are long cylindrically shaped bulbs. I also ma not going to add working lights to it. I'm doing too much already This sketch basically shows the odd shape of the bulb and the deep reflector. At this scale, MV Lens are just too shallow. Dave P Dave, Did you ever find a solution to this ? The Mustang has the same deep reflector bucket in the undersurface of the left wing. Perhaps this might help you. These are done with rail road grain of wheat bulbs in 1/24th. HTH, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Heh, thanks Dave! Mine too.... I took my wing away with me and carved them off over 2 nights in Motel rooms! Tried not too make too much mess for them, rather that than my wife growl at me!!! Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
