Sparzanza Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Too much detailing is bad for your health! Believe me, you'll start detailing your modeling table soon enough. After that it's the kitchen.. then you realize that it also needs weathering. Never-ending cycle I tells ya. I like what I see though.

Guest Peterpools Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Mal Terrific re-work on the back deck, as the hoses and clamps look spot on. The coolant tank and firewall weathering is spot on. I'm starting to feel the erg to add the loop line as you did on mine as well. I finally finished the main section of the front office and will post an update tomorrow, as it time to start tackling the cockpit side walls.

Dan Paxton Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 no wiring ? aha ok. im not a mustang expert, this is my first ever. I took a peak on resin detail cocpit and some photos i my Tamiya book P51K, there are wires, ill let them be there to make it little more intrestning to look at Sir, I am new to the forums and I have to say you are by far and away in the MASTER CLASS!!!! I found a website that has aircraft manuals from across the world (Japan, UK, USA, USSR< Finland and Sweden) I look thru them and find the area I'm working on.....I can find as much detail as I want (usually in an illustrated parts catalog or parts list, erection and maintenance manuals are awesome as well [you can find dimensions of the real thing!!!]) I hope this helps and again I love your work sir......YOU ARE AWESOME!!! the site address is http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/en/aircraft/usa/boeing/b-17flyingfortress/an-01-20eg-2-erection-ad-maintenance-instructions-for-b-17g-part-1-2.html this page will take you directly to maintenance manual for a B-17......so cool!!

Daywalker Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Wish I could be building mine along with you, seeing yours come together has me itching to get working on mine. Hope to heal quickly so I can build again! Love the work you're doing here Mal, your shading and highlighting are VERY effective. Especially that firewall!
