Wolf Buddee Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Wolf, What type of hardware did you use to fashion the copper piping? This is an awesome build. Something to aspire to. Kind regards, Jim Jim, the copper piping is injection styrene bits supplied in the kit. It was cleaned up to remove any mould seam lines, primed with Tamiya's fine white primer and then sprayed with Alclad II Copper. There was no special crafting at all.

williamj Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Keep it going Wolf...I know you will do the airframe justice,but the Merlin is popping,will be a model on it's own. Very much like the look of the chaff strips.cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Wolf...when I grow up, I want to be able to paint just like you. Simply beautiful. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 OMG! What a beautiful engine. Those silver rivets against the brown leather boundary stips against the green framing are just great. Fantastic color contrast, mate! Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Pete Oh yeah, well I'm grown up and I'll never be able to build like you my friend so I take your comment as quite a compliment!

Wolf Buddee Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 OMG! What a beautiful engine. Those silver rivets against the brown leather boundary stips against the green framing are just great. Fantastic color contrast, mate! Sincerely, Mark Thanks Mark! I was worried that the contrast might be too much but I'm hoping that with everything in place it'll only add to the "business" of the whole engine compartment assembly and add some visual interest.

ADD can be a terrible thing and sometimes I really have to push myself to maintain the commitment level this build demands. Still havin' fun though and that's the part that keeps me goin' By the way, you know of anyone who wants to buy a whole bunch of 1/48 scale kits? Damn 1/32nd scale 's startin' to get fun and don't even get me started on the WnW kits. Now they're startin' to collect in the basement. Sheesh!!!

JimV7C Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 From a personal perspective, if ever there was a kit that you were building for yourself, this is the one to spend the extra time on and add stuff as you see fit. Truly a remarkable kit from Tamiya! Cheers, Wolf Wolf, Well...from my personal perspective, I think that the new 1/32 P-51D is the better kit! That's the one for me! Has guns, mostly the same engine, working flying surfaces (okay, kinda gimmicky, but I'll still build it that way), although I am just now starting my Spit Mk IX. I am absolutely amazed at your build, Wolf! Looking forward to more updates. Have a great weekend! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
