bcauchi Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 On to the gun bay And the painting begins All NMF painted with Testors metallizers using a brush. I found out that you get a better result and its less susceptible to coming off at the slightest touch. Sealed with future. And that's it, all closed up TAG, fab, 109 and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Engines and wings next. The engines are from Trumpeter kits. They were mated to the hasegawa wings. The leading edge slats are made from sheet aluminium. The engine to wing fairing is made of milliput One of the planes will have a missing engine. A new one to be fitted in its place. At last it all goes together, fuselages mated to wings. The stressed aluminium effect can be seen in this photo Cheetah11, Out2gtcha, alaninaustria and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Wow, that is some seriously special work! bcauchi and BiggTim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Forgot to tell you that i filled all panel lines with putty and roughly sanded them since it was done that way on the real planes. All panel lines except places which were continuously accessed like the gun bay and engine panels were puttied in to reduce drag.

Durangokid Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 That is one detailed engine, not to mention the rest of the kit. Really great work, I don't know how you guys manage to detail things like that. I would end up with a giant mess! bcauchi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 'The engine to wing fairing is made of milliput' Say it ain't so! Brian, you've got the most magical hands I've ever seen. This is stellar. What are you using as references? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark bcauchi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcauchi Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Just to answer your question dodgem, i used the amazing four volumes from classic publications for references plus i corresponded with the pilots of both these planes. If you have the classic publications books then there is nothing further you could possibly need as far as references go. thanks for looking and your comments.
