Jeff T Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Good repair job Mike! I'm forever going back over work on my P-47 due to stupid stuff ups, but hopefully I wont have to re-attach a wing. Cheer's, Jeff. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 So far, you have a series of great saves going, Mike! Never fun, but you've come out on top and it could be worse. I remember finishing my Ki-61, taking 99% of the "glamour shots" to post here, then dropping it on the concrete floor of my shop while attempting to turn it over for one last pic of the belly!

You know when you start to knock something over your brain panics and you reflex and knock 3 other things over in the process ?? I've done that several times during this build but today I dropped it on the floor and snapped the port wing (again) and tailplane. I had the markings on satisfactorally and was getting ready to clear coat the whole thing and this happened. Should be an easy fix as I did the same thing a few weeks ago . Nice clean break tho I'm determined to finish this if it kills me !!! Trust me..............I know that feeling. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMaben Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 A few shots of some minor progress ! (hey, progress is progress right ?) So I'm including aspects of various details from a general time frame (late '38 early '39) I like the oddness of the polished prop blade fronts. First I sprayed them with Molotow liquid chrome which not surprisingly turned out too chrome like. I tried to dull it down a little but couldn't get the surface to look smooth. I have a roll of chrome adhesive film so I stuck that on and it looked better but still too chromey so I sprayed it with a combo of MRB clear and matt and decided that's gonna do it. It's pretty shiny but doesn't show up well in photos. So I'm putzin' along with a little here a little there but at least I'm way past the halfway point.
