LSP_K2 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 OK, I was wrong, again. Fairing piece on shock cone does fit great, just as I had originally proclaimed. The good news? From what I'm told, any competent psychiatrist can cure what's wrong with me.
LSP_K2 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks Harv, I appreciate it. Here are the remaining pieces that needed to be aqua; not real sure why I didn't paint them before.
LSP_K2 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Admittedly not the best painting I've ever done (too much coffeine again), but a wash will help it tremendously.
LSP_K2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Decent concept, but poor execution. I'll need to touch up some wrinkles in the surface from using too much liquid cement.
LSP_K2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Work now continues on wings; gaps filled w/Mister Surfacer so that washes don't disappear! I'm also adding tiny fairings for the nav lights from .040 half round. These will then be filed/sanded to shape. I had to move the starboard light; put in the wrong place.
LSP_K2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Canopy hinge fairings added from .040 half round rod. They'll be sanded to shape when dry.
Jamme Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Hi Kevin. Nice build. Shurely will take reference from your build when I (re)start mine. Cheers, Jamme
Kagemusha Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Great work on a really nice project Komrade Kevin. :popcorn: Edited January 30, 2012 by Kagemusha
LSP_K2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Eric was absolutely correct, trump messed up this avionics bay piece behind intake, so I’ve done as he had, by cutting out the parabola and inverting.
LSP_K2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate that. I'm not normally a figure guy, but I'm going to give one of the kit supplied gents a whirl. If it comes out OK, I'll use it, if not,...
Derek B Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Looking great Kev I am looking forward to the painting bit as well Derek
Loic Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Some great work Kev ! Love the airfield ground Looking forward to the next update
LSP_K2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks fellas. Derek, I too am really looking forward to putting some paint on this puppy. I may well try a version of "Ralph artistry" on this airframe.
