EricF Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi, The camera bays are painted and I started the plumbing. It is difficult to shoot a good picture due to the contrast between the black and the fuselage. I sprayed first Tamiya flat black and black ink after. A dry brushing with graphite powder gives a good rending.

Jackman Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Wow, that camera bay is awesome! Could I ask what you are using as a reference for the bays? I've been searching & searching for internal shots of the RF-8 camera bays but haven't been successful. Thank you :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hansen Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Looks great, Eric. Truly amazing the amount of "Value Added" to that conversion. Myself, i managed to scoop up an Aires cockpit for mine, based on your experiences. -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Very nice progress for sure! Coming together nicely now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricF Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Thanks Brian I changed my mind concerning the windows. Instead of inserting them one by one as I intended to do, I think I will be easer to mask them on a one piece of plexiglass. I think that I will save time on finishing work.

Out2gtcha Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I agree that making the whole panel out of plexi, then masking off the windows will be the easier way IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
