mark31 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Hello to u all. After i have seen so manymodels with foil i whas thinking of doing one. So here she is. Its the hobby boss kit OOB. The foiling i haave done yesterday. And today after six hours of fun. Its not perfect but for the first time im happy with the result. So far i think there will be more to come in bare metal. Mark Edited February 9, 2014 by mark31 Out2gtcha and marauderdriver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Fantastic work so far Mark, really like it! We don't see enough plank wing Thunderjets, and idea which markings you are going to put on her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Dollar Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 It looks like somebody has been reading the How To Foil Book. Your study has paid off. That's excellent foil work. I can't wait to see the finished product. mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Absolutely Marvelous Mark Great kit to start with......just watchout around the intake, it can be tricky. There should be a panel line around the nose that you have to scribe, look at where the nose marking ends in front of the gun troughs. I cut a piece o foil about 10x10 cm and placed it in the palm of my hand and pushed the intake into the foil and twisted it around until I had a good representation of the intake. Trim the foil close around the outside and X cut the inside to allow you to work the foil into the intake. It's not as difficult as it sound's, bit it might take a couple of tries. You are off to a GREAT start I have one of these in the RFI from a couple of months ago... http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=1821 jack Edited January 27, 2014 by marauderdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
