moldmkr78 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hello! Thanks for looking! This model has been an epic build. I don't think that I am a slow builder, yet I figure I have well over 400 hours in this amazing model. Every Eduard photo etch set was used in the build except for the flaps. I used the Profimodeller landing gear as well as Brassin wheels. KitsWorld stencils and Zotz decals were used for markings. Both are excellent products and laid down very nicely. The Alclad paint went on very nicely and, to my eye, it looks very much like an aluminum aircraft. CODY, Joe66, CANicoll and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moldmkr78 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) A few more... Thought I would try one in B&W to get a feel for the historical perspective. I have a couple more things to complete, like the antenna wires and a little more weathering, but I wanted to take advantage of the rare sunny day here in Oregon and get some outdoor shots. Be sure to have a look at my WIP thread http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=53093 for all of the interior and engine details. Thanks for looking!!
