petrov27 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Wow great work on those Master guns - they will be main points of interest in the finished model and you have really done them justice. Rest of the model should be a cake-walk now Edited January 21, 2019 by petrov27 BiggTim and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 I weathered one pod this weekend, and started on the second. Since I'm doing winter bird, after it was fully weathered and a lacquer matte clear sprayed over it, I used white acrylic thinned down to white wash the front portion that was painted RLM 70, and then wear some of that off with a moist brush, and then some additional weathering. Not sure I'm totally happy with the result of the white part, but as I intend the bird to be very heavily worn, I think it will work. Hard to tell until I get it on a bigger surface. Also started on the main wing, which required a lot more sanding than I expected to feather in the long wingtips of the G-2. The parts fit was not as tight as I had hoped.

Wolf Buddee Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Dude! How on earth did I miss this build Tim? Great start my friend and I'm assuming this'll be seen in Chattanooga? Cheers, Wolf Out2gtcha, Martinnfb and BiggTim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Oh yeah, that looks just right. You dont expect heavy canon pods like that to be clean. BiggTim and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggTim Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 This is the bird I'm aiming for, but that white-wash job looks tough to replicate. Lots of experimentation ahead. Gazzas, Padraic Conway, D.B. Andrus and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggTim Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Can anyone enlighten me about what that clear round circle behind the gunner's position on this plane is? My resources are thin on that, and I don't know what it's called, so I cant' seem to find any good images by searching the internet. The kit part looks funny, and I'm trying to figure out what it's supposed to look like. Thanks in advance, Tim Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
