Tony T Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Looking fantastic! Shows what an expert can do with the old Revell! I was "reliably" told by those involved in painting "invasion stripes" that the preferred method was to chalk a piece of string, "twang" it up against the aircraft skin, and then hand paint the white and black stripes with a pot and brush. Vaguely scientific but definitely dependant on brush skills. Tony Derek B and Cees Broere 2
Cees Broere Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Just to point out that the canopy in the pic is just put in place. When pressed down it fits great. Cheers Cees
Derek B Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Just to point out that the canopy in the pic is just put in place. When pressed down it fits great. Cheers Cees Peter did an amazing job of that canopy considering how thin the material is. The observers/gunners copula is also beautifully crafted (I didn't know if you needed this or not, so I included it anyway). Derek Cees Broere 1
Guest Peterpools Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Cees Awesome progress and she sure is looking mighty good. Keep 'em coming Peter
Cees Broere Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 Update The Beau is progressing well. The undercarriage and doors have been fitted. Some more Flory washes to taste before a flat coat. Then the canopy can be fitted. Really need some Hamilton Standard propbosses. Cheers Cees lawman56 and Mals Way 2
Cees Broere Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Question: I am working on the MDC rocket set for the Beau. But most of the launchrails are badly warped? How can I make them usable? Thnks Cees
Loic Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Can't help with the rocket launcher I am affraid but wanted to say that the Beau looks great ! Cees Broere 1
Cees Broere Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Update, Here are my scratchbuilt rocket rails. Funny what you can do with several Evergreen strips, rods etc. I hope to use the aftermarket rockets, if I can use them that is. Quality is terrible. Plan B would be to scratch these too using som rod and the photoetch fins that can be used. We'll see about that. Cheers Cees
Cees Broere Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 Update, Plan B canopy. Trying to mark the canopy strips using tape. Hope to detail the inside with rod and strip. If this doesn't work out plan A will be used. Cheers Cees Mals Way and lawman56 2
LSP_Kevin Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Sounds like a good plan to me Cees! I have my fingers crossed for your success. Kev
Cees Broere Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 I made a dorsal canopy master from miliput. Great stuff. Now to try my hand at some crashmoulding techniques. Anyone have any experience in this? Cheers Cees
Guest Peterpools Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Cees Amazing work and it's always great to have plan A and B. Keep 'em coming Peter
Cees Broere Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Almost finished Cheers Anthony in NZ and Out2gtcha 2
Cees Broere Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 In case anybody is interested, the Beau is done. Will post some pics soon ( that is, if anybody is interested). Cees Out2gtcha 1
Out2gtcha Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 In case anybody is interested, the Beau is done. Will post some pics soon ( that is, if anybody is interested). Definitely! Still awaiting SOMEONE to finish the interior pieces so I can bust my Lodela Beuf out one of these days. I know it will need work way beyond the interior, but that is my personal bug-a-boo. Looking forward to the pics! Derek B 1
