Volture Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hi to all. A w.i.p report starts with the canopy system...masked and some inside detail additions!!! After adding some inside details of the canopies the canopy system get their black color and first dry brush weathering!!Then the very dificult adjustment of the front dashboard to the fuselage because of the triangle internal consoles!After some hard surgery the dash board placed in the right position with the help of a white putty.Also i improve and add some wire details in the very frond and at the dashbord!!The adventure of the thud continues!!!!

David Hansen Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hi Phillippos, First off, i'm very sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. Mine died right at the end of June, while i was on the road working. So, i know how you must be feeling these days. Regards the F-105, its not really a criticism, more of a suggestion. When my models get to the stage of construction that yours is in, i like to paint them overall with a primer, inspect it for flaws, fix the obvious ones, and then wet sand the model all the way back down to bare plastic. It makes the surface more uniform, the primer will stay in the recessed lines (sorta works like pre-shading, depending on the colour you use), but all that time you spend wet sanding the model will make you intimately familiar with all of the details, so missing a small gap, pinhole, or sanding scratch is pretty unlikely. I actually find it kind of relaxing. Finally, with the model sanded down with something like 1500 grit, the paint will stick very handily to the model. I've never had a problem with enamel paints peeling off my models. Now, if it was a bare metal finish i might not do that, but there's no harm done with the technique if you paint it in flat camouflage paints. Just a thought for possible consideration. david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
