Rick K Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 TALK DIRTY TO ME Flory Wash applied then a overall wash of highly diluted brown/black to come. Next the exhaust staining begins as well as some more leg work, ordnance. Bill Cross and Lars Befring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayaman Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) DECALS Decals applied using Kits-World War Birds # 132028 for Perego's mount and EagleCal #107 for national insignia and stencils. Kits-World decals went down beautifully and the carrier film almost disappeared. EagleCal went down beautifully with no issues as well. Both responded very well to setting solutions. Only issue was with the national insignias as the setting solution gave me fits by leaving little deposits of "crystallized" spots. 50" national insignias for both side of lower wings. I threw on the (almost completed) Hamilton Standard 13' prop for a test fit. Will also finish the Curtiss Electric 13' prop so I can switch out from time to time. I like the look of the stubby prop boss on the HS. "Slick Chick" finally showed up and is all settled in and currently finishing her photo shoot. Excellent work,the correct prop is Curtiss assymetrical have in mind-cheers Edited March 21, 2015 by hayaman Girlscanplay2 and Bill Cross 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachtjaeger Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 "SLICK CHICK" IS WELL ENDOWED After applying the final coat of primer I found a few seams that needed some attention. While the liquid putty dries I decided to do a ordnance test fit. There is much work to be done, but this was fun. Detail, weather and wire fuses to the 500 GP bombs Paint, detail, weather, bullets and ignition wire for the M10's Prime and paint for the brass blast tubes Apologizes for the iPhone pics. My modelling geekness got aroused and I look forward to the next phases of this build. Keep fingers crossed for a happy Alclad day. Awesome work. It.looks great. Where did you get the brass barrels? What size are they? Diameter? Girlscanplay2, Rick K and Bill Cross 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Awesome work. It.looks great. Where did you get the brass barrels? What size are they? Diameter? Hasegawa brass barrels - HSGQG12 These are direct replacement for the kit barrels. They are rare and hard to find. I saw that Hannants carries them. If no luck, try QuickBoost they make a nice resin set. Nachtjaeger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very nice. I will look for the Hasegawa brass set for my other Hasegawa P-47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick K Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 awesome stuff Rick! this has been duly bookmarked Cheers Nick! Very dirty indeed, Rick! Kev notice I did not say "Girl Mud Wrestling" Rick Your Jug sure needs a bath but the Flory wash should look perfect when cleaned off Keep 'em coming Peter Thanks Peter. Love Flory. One of these days I'm gonna step out of my comfort zone and try "panel line wash" and "dot filtering". Excellent work,the correct prop is Curtiss assymetrical have in mind-cheers Ah, thank you for the kudos and the coaching. I am building both HS and CE props. The HS prop will be in place if my plane is a D25 RA with "retro/field fitted" bomb racks, compression flaps and fin fillet. The CE prop will be in place if my plane is a D26 RA with "retro/field fitted" bomb racks, compression flaps and fin fillet. Awesome work. It.looks great. Where did you get the brass barrels? What size are they? Diameter? Thanks Wow what a journey so far. Beautiful!! Teresa :-) Thanks Teresa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
