brahman104 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Totally agree with Martin's sentiment there....... If you call yourself a mere kit assembler, than that makes me a 3 year old struggling with Duplo! Pure brilliance as always mate, can't wait to see more Cheers Craig Wolf Buddee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Buddee Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks for all the kind words folks. Believe me, they help keep me motivated to move forward with this build. ADD is not a modeller's friend! I decided to work on the main landing gear and tailwheel assemblies. The kit pieces are incredibly detailed but I though a little extra attention was warranted. The MLG tyres (tires for us North American folks) are a fantastic example of Tamiya's engineering. I had to show at least one pic with a section of tread before it's final installation. Cool eh? The one thing I haven't been able to figure out though is why Tamiya's instructions indicate not to glue the metal axle in place through the brake drum/wheel hub assembly? It's loose enough that if I tilt the assembly on to it's side the metal axle simply falls out. Even if it's glued the wheel assembly rotates to ensure the tyre sits on it's flat spot properly. Maybe someone whose gotten further along on their build can shed some light on this? Next step is to paint and weather these subassemblies and then on to another part of this kit.

brahman104 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 You know in that first pic I was wondering why on earth Tamiya detailed only one side of the tail wheel yoke. Then I realised they didn't at all...... How do you make the plastic look like you haven't touched it? I love that you can get the finish of even bare plastic up to such a high standard, even before you put paint on it! Me, I use paint to hide my mista....

Wolf Buddee Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 I am curious how much time do you spend by editing photos Wolf? Great tutorial, fantastic photography, keep them coming. Cheers M. This last update, I can tell you, about 3 1/2 hours getting the editing program to work and about 10 minutes doing the actual editing. I was not a happy camper! Good thing we had a birthday celebration for Chris' wife, Michelle to change my mood. Had they showed up 5 minutes later they might have found the computer in pieces laying on the front lawn.
