Rick K Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 ANTIGLARE After some masking and black base applied, Mr Color 304 Olive Drab thinned 3:1 painted for the antiglare. Masking tape removed from the tail shows some touch up needed on the rudder hinges. Will most likely do this before I add the black stripe on the rudder and stabilizers, TBD. Then the Scalloped red cowling, yikes! Will need to clean/touch up around the hinges. Fin Fillet dry fitted.

Rick K Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 COWLING MASK This will indeed be a most daunting task for me. With copy of a line drawing from Yellow MMP's P-47 Thunderbolt, straight edge and French Curve I rendered the Scalloped Cowling art. Port side. Scanned then a horizontal flip for the starboard side. Execute a FPO for test fit. Looks good. Now on to some cutting. Bill Cross, Lars Befring, TaffyMan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneBramage Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 No Doubt that Scallop is tricky. I had this on HDD Rick K and Lars Befring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 No Doubt that Scallop is tricky. I had this on HDD Interesting pic. I have about 4 picks of Slick Chick and they are all different. On this one note the anti-glare is much wider and looks like it is on top of the red cowling. Scallop on the port side s not scary, it the starboard side that has me wiggin' out.

Rick K Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 MORE MASKING AND PAINT I must have used a mile of masking tape on this build and my time spent masking has surpassed actual build time. So here we go. Position of the art before cutting the masks. Cowling and scallop painted. Results not as I hoped with mask lifting where the scalloped edge joined the straight edge. Will attempt to clean/blend the edges. The port side scallop will be covered with nose art. So I will only need to focus on the starboard side. Masks cut for ID Bands. Using Radu Brizan's 1:32 scale ruler the 12" is for the rudder and the 15" is for the stabilizers. ID Bands are Tamiya NATO Black. Fin Filet is dry fitted. Will address the rudder lines next. Next will be cleaning the scallop edges, rudder lines, replace the windscreen then hit with varnish for decal prep.
