wunwinglow Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 http://www.ppdltd.com/ Usual disclaimers, no commercial connection, just a very happy, if rather occasional, user. They did all my AFV kit parts, so they can handle bulk as well as one-off's. And they are based in one of the most spectacular parts of the British Isles, I am desperate to get the Suzuki up there to pay them a visit!!

airscale Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 thanks for your kind comments chaps ..had to get a little bit of paint on as it would be too difficult to paint the throttle quadrant in situ.. ..first I shot alclad in the hope I can chip through the paint down to this later on... ...the Tigercat has a green interior below the bottom of the instrument panel, so I shot black uppers - as soon as I had done this I remembered I was going to try out the hairspray thing for chipping - will have to try it on a test part now (probably for the best anyway...) ..then masked the green - I had put maskol on all the control rods as I figured nothing looks better than metal than, well... metal... ..and this is the basis for detailing this side.. ..also painted & finished the throttle control... ..it's probably pretty hard to see, but there is a tiny letter 'M' on the reddish brown handles under the silver throttle handles - added this from an old decal I think from a 1/32 Beaufighter stencil.. there is also a 'P' on the rear black knob but that is even harder to see .. ..now I can fix it and connect it all up...

brahman104 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Um, wow! When I first saw the second pic I thought you'd decided to go all out and cast the thing in white metal! That quadrant really came up a treat with some paint on it. Well done Peter! Craig airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
