Pete Fleischmann Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hi all- got some paint on. Now I’ve got to fill in all of the details- lots of wire harnesses, components, and black boxes in every open portion of the ceiling..plus the fast-rope and crew seat supports..and all the other “stuff” Looks a little rough right now- the camera is brutal- but I’ve got a vision! Stick with me :) thanks for for checking in cheers Pete zerosystem, Starfighter, johncrow and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Excellent wear and tear now where’s the whars? Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Hello all! the slow scratch building march begins! just have to go void by void- the cable ties are just strips of decal that go on after the harness section is in place, then a wash- you can see the difference as I plod along.

Pete Fleischmann Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Still plodding! the fat wire harness sections are simply picture wire cut to length and painted white. The smaller sections of harness were made with Timmy’s! Super awesome technique..folding over lengths of beading wire, twist and cut, then apply some of this nifty rubberized super glue. I use a micro brush to apply it then wick off the excess. It’s cool because your harness is now bendy but won’t come apart. Paint it up and yer good!! Thanks Timmy!

checksix Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I love your "how I did that" tips. I appreciate all the little tidbits of info that help me improve my own (much more modest) efforts. Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Your work is splendid. Besides all of that wonderful detail, love that weathering. 'the cable ties are just strips of decal' Nice transfer of knowledge. 'the fat wire harness sections are simply picture wire' Great tip, thank you. "Timmy’s! Super awesome technique' Thank you, both. Sincerely, Mark Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hello all! slow grind on this, but am chipping away at it! Might not look like much progress, but I have spent waaaayyy more time looking at obscure reference photos of the ceiling, (most shot at weird angles) than I have building components.. more to follow! Thanks for all the words of encouragement!! cheers Pete Smokey, blackbetty, scvrobeson and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebles Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hi Pete, I'm watching this with interest. I received my kit as well. The plan is to convert it to USAF 38th or 66th Rescue Sq birds as filmed in the "Inside Combat Rescue" series. Your work will be very helpful for my project. I too have been looking at a lot of main cabin ceiling pictures. I'm also looking at a lot of aft cabin photos where all the med kits are stored. I think that's going to be my biggest challenge. Have you come across any references on how they kit these birds out? Thanks for sharing your work! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
