oldthudman5 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 The two center hubs (main wheels)........ Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldthudman5 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) This is what I'm shootin' for......This is the outer hub/wheel center section. from a Counter Invader 1/48 aftermarket kit (Cutting Edge IIRC) ..............P.S......Counter Invader wheels were different than the old Invader models..........Main wheels and brakes were fron a C-135/KC-135 ...........Not sure where the nose wheel came from..................

Nailcreek Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Outstanding work ... I restarted an old ID Models kit I've had for years, with the idea of building it as a K. Each time I pull it out, I fear that someone will bring one out in injection LOL. I'm really enjoying your build log ... and if you decide to offer castings, please count me in By the way ... check out http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/phpBB3/index.php and search for "B-26K Counter-Invader Restoration ("Special K")" in the WIX Forum. Lots of great photos ... Thanks! Edited August 31, 2014 by Nailcreek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldthudman5 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Waiting for the mail....Ordered some Micro Mark glue and one of them center finder tools........... Finding figuring out how to scratch-build something harder that the actual process....... Think I'm going to proceed tonight with the body........

Bruce Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Do you need photos of an actual -135 tire? Bruce Edited September 8, 2014 by Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldthudman5 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) OK finally figured out how to (or at least method #1) to make the center section of mail wheel.........Next step is to build up the center "hump"....and I'm going to use Apoxie Sculpt....then try to impress the 18 little vent holes around the center cap..............Will use resin "nut & bolt's" to duplicate the outer ring of "dots" which are nuts & bolts.......... Pictured here...... Edited September 10, 2014 by oldthudman5 LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Nice work! All the scratched details really bring it to life BTW........Here's the center finder I ordered from Micro Mark............. Thats pretty trick! So it finds the center of perfect circles I take it? Havnt seen that in the Micro Mark catalog.............its in there? oldthudman5 and Girlscanplay2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
