Recommended Posts

All glass pieces in place.

and painted

I decided to sand off the strut location mark,

and add some plastic at the end of the struts.

I did the same thing with the ladder mark,

and instead I used a drill to make 2 dents where I wanted to put the ladder.

I need to sand some more to remove the mark completely.

I sanded down the exhaust pipe a bit, and added some putty to get better likeness of the original.

I'm gonna sand it to proper shape, and paint it.

 

Then I did a small experiment on one of the wings.

I first painted tank grey, and then masked.

Then on with some black, and after a while, I removed the tape.

I think it turned out pretty good, so I'll do the same on the other wing.

I'll paint the other surfaces in black.

I've done quite a bit of masking and painting on this one, considering it mainly all black! :)

Some pics.

 

First some tank gray.

Result.

The fuselage stripes are pretty visible, and I'll try and tone them down a bit.

Maybe by adding black to the future cote, as decals are next.

 

The wings have undergone the same procedure, and are almost done.

Some touch up and a few more details to paint, then on to decals and final assembly.
