Nose_Art Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 You can see the scars from the throttle redo, and of course it really doesn't look much better than it did before said redo. There is a missing something here, I'll let it go. Thanks to MWHM's, I lost track of you for awhile! Also thankyou Harv, and Teresa! Lather, rinse, repeat.

Nose_Art Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hi, it's me again, After cleaning with dish soap and a artist brush to get into nooks and crannies it looks better....... The cockpit floor is in and the wing is on so, this little bugger has to be shaped..... andromeda673 and Ralph-D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nose_Art Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hi y'all, Thankyou Kev!! I used Model Master FS 34151 in the pit, I don't know why I can't get a close color reproduction. I've got two cameras and I get the same results with both. DOH! Anyway, I just wanted to tell everyone I didn't use Kitchen Dill green FS ######!

Nose_Art Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I don't know, has someone built a Zoukei-Mura P-51D here? I know ZM kits can be handfull to build for some.....They can test your patience. Anyway, the front scoop section has a locater pin that fits into the bottom of the wing. Thus, you can use this part to find the location for the lower center section and the lower aft section at the tail wheel. That is, you work from leading scoop edge to the rudder fitting the lower fuselage parts. This ZM propeller is a work of art in itself! Thank's Mr. Mura!

Nose_Art Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I want to use the front scoop section to see how I can get the polished look were after. I always go to other people's funerals........... that way they will go to mine. Lather, rinse, repeat Art Ralph-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nose_Art Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hi y'all, Thanks Loic! With my micro chisel I got the wing fairings to fit reasonably well. With the chisel in position, I rock it from side to side to create a 'sawing' action, while still pressing down slightly. And finish the edge with a micro file.

Nose_Art Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Adding weight to the tires........ 360 grit glued to 1/4 inch foam and wet sand them down both at the same time. Three words guaranteed to humiliate men anywhere and everywhere........ "Hold my purse". Thankyou Ralph D and Rafju Thanks everyone!!

Nose_Art Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi, I didn't forget about this...... It was a rather 'intense' build and thus we needed to step away.......... I decided to hang this one up with fishing line. Just polishing from 400 to 12000 grit now. Thank you! Lather, rinse, repeat. Ralph-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
