alaninaustria Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Lots of focus there. 'I don´t know how it will look once painted' Not that I know so much, but I do. There are too many indentations to expect perfection after the first draft. Paint the area to see what it will look like before you put on the rivets. Then sand over it as many times as needed. Then sand again to expose the rivet pattern. Then lay your rivets. ... some good advice in there!!Cheers Alan DirkE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkE Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Quick test with Archer raised rivets and different decal setters. From left to right : Humboldt Decal Cote 2 (bottle is over 10 years old), DACO Decal setter strong, Mr. Mark Softer and Mark Fit. No primer used. On top MRP and on layer matt varnish (Revell). Results look to me all the same. Carrier foil is hardly seen. Dirk Gazzas and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkE Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 ok, more progress. I finally managed to get the interior done. The seat for the rear gunner is in the upward position. Something different. I finally found a good reference photo. Source is unknown. The lower rear gun is still missing, but thats a matter of a few steps. 90 % of the rivets are attached. The ones that are still missing are those that will be added after I glued the fuselage together.

DirkE Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 sorry guys that I havn´t posted any updates. Progress is slow, since life is occupying most of my time. I just figured that all photos here in this thread are gone and the links won´t work. :-( Thats the price you pay if you don´t use a premium photo sharing app. I have to try to work around this and repost the photos in an extra thread or here.
