Out2gtcha Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thank's - Yes I'm aware. I have already made the cowling openings larger... Perfect! It was very hard to tell if the mod had been made from the angles of the previous shots. Looks great! The OOB cowl openings really bothered me on mine. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Yes, there's allways another tweek to make. A lot of time goes into the research, to get as many as possible right :-) This is the photo I used for the measurements...

kkarlsen Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Time for a little update, build back on track... Been working on the landing gear... Decided to work in the direction of (lots of dust) since conditions at Alesani Airfield was like this, 'Old Ironsides III' taxiing, no tarmac, dust and only some service areas with 'marsden matting'. 'Airfield dust' weathering of the wheels... Nose gear with the very distinctive wheel cover of 'Old ironsides III'... The towing 'rig' is Profimodeller...

brahman104 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Man that landing gear is ace! Love the weathering! Do you just lump a whole heap of pigment on the wheel, fix it then brush the rest off? I've never been very good at the technique..... Cheers, Craig kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yeah, something like that - 3 different shades of 'airfield dust' added with pigment fixer... Work in layers, add dust, until you are happy with it. When dry, rub the excess off with fingers... + coat of flat varnish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
