Uncarina Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) An update: finished the bomb bay. Painting the bombs was a little tricky: Tamiya AS-12 as primer, flat yellow, lots of masking with thin strips of tape, painted khaki drab, mottled with olive drab, dipped the tips in a small puddle of yellow, Quickshine, weathered with Flory dark dirt, then painted the fuse sections with burnt metal. Whew! Now starting to work on the waist and tail sections. Looking forward to closing up that fuselage! Cheers, Tom Edited October 2, 2018 by Uncarina blackbetty, D.B.

Gerhard, thanks, Uschi Van Der Rosten decals: https://www.uschivdr.com/shopping-categories/shop-wood-grain-decals/ They are amazingly strong, flexible, and transluscent so you can alter the substrate color to create a really varied appearance from surface to surface.

aircommando130 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Welcome back Tom! Hopefully you've worked the Castlemain XXXX and Strongbow out of your system! The Fort is looking good! Might as well model if you're getting rain from the hurricane! Cheers....Ron Martinnfb and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis7423 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Keep it up Tom! You're getting suspiciously close to closing the fuselage up. When you get there, hit me up! I have a few suggestions that should help with fit. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Uncarina and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
