Hubert Boillot Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Note to self. When you'll build your own P6-E kit, remove bulge from the underwing, place decal, then put bulge back in place and paint it ... Should avoid the problems Nicolas had ...

Zero77 Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Are you a secret cigar smoker? I was, but stopped smoking about 1 year ago. Never smoked anything since then, just vaping (but i went from 12mg nicotine to 3mg, i think i can even stop vaping in the next year.... less money spent for e-juices = more $$$ for kits !). I kept a lot of empty cigarillos boxes (hundreds of boxes...). They are very helpful to store small parts, act as a support to paint parts and so on.... Note to self. When you'll build your own P6-E kit, remove bulge from the underwing, place decal, then put bulge back in place and paint it ... Should avoid the problems Nicolas had ... Hubert That's a good idea ! However, you'd have to hold your breath to cut them cleanly as they are quite small and on a flat surface. You will have to saw them without damaging the wing with the saw. But i keep this in mind for my next P-6E ! mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 I have finished the legs. The masking operation was a bit long, but finally the result is not so bad. As planned, i used the decals as base to make a paper template, which i then modified to adapt the shape of the claws to the tridimensional wheel spats. I even had to adpat the mask (cut in tamiya masking tape) when i applyed them. The second leg was more easy as i had the first one as a reference. Here straight after unmasking. Still some touch ups to do (because of a few oversprays where the masks were not enough stuck on the surface) : And a quick dry fit to see what it looks like : mywifehatesmodels, mpk and Aerobat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywifehatesmodels Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Those compound curves have to be a nightmare to mask, but you're doing a fantastic job. This one is coming to life now and it's already looking gorgeous! John mpk and Zero77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 A small update, i finished the propeller today. The baldes are just great, it's not very noticeable on the pictures but the twist is very nicely captured. I feared that the decals would be quite visible on the polished aluminium, but except if you look at it from very close, it looks ok. I weathered a bit the propeller hub with dry grease and a bit of dirt. scvrobeson and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
