Gazzas Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Thanks for the replies and likes, my friends! I didn't want to mirror the upper and lower wings, so I spent a lot of time deciding on a theme for the underside. I didn't want anything too heavy, too nationalistic, too boastful, or too historical. So, I enlisted some outside German-language help and sought a common enough German phrase that could be seen as competitive and somewhat cheeky while I did a lot of web searching. The outside help came through with a result much quicker than my web-searching. Gaz Alain Gadbois, Out2gtcha, D.B. Andrus and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 OK. after a week of mostly work, I finally got the main paint laid down. Beware, there is touch up to do as tis plane has a few raised bits that defied the Oramask 810's ability to hold firm. I only had two instances of paint lift, and both occurred on the periods at the bottom of the exclamation points on the underside. Thanks for looking!

I will only ever go gear up with a jet, or when somebody makes a decent looking spinning prop (highly doubtful). Or maybe one day I'll put in an E-motor.

Gazzas Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Thank you for all of the motivating replies. I need em'! lol I've devoted a lot of time to surface work. Most of it because I didn't devote enough time to surface preparation. I've spent an obscene amount of time, sanding, polishing, respraying, touching up... BTW... lacquer paints don't lend themselves to touchup with a brush. So...you gotta mask Everything. Anyway... here is where we are now: A saucerful of secrets.... a Pink Floyd title I decided to borrow.... Wings need more clearcoats. I had to relay the wing masks a second time. Luckily the Oramask is pliable enough to allow a little pushing and pulling. I got some paint lift on the underside of that giant supercharger intake. At that point I decided to give it a little rest and work on some other models for a bit. Thanks fer looking!

Alain Gadbois Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) A big like for that saucerful of secrets! And that Ta152 C is going to be quite unique. I hope you can finish it shortly. Alain PS: my 14 year old son is a big fan of Pink Floyd and that makes me pretty happy!
