They're not as thin as MRP though, and definitely benefit from some extra thinning for airbrushing. Kev Thanks for the tip...I'll make certain to experiment before using. Without further hijacking this amazing thread, do the SMS paints cover better than the MRP?

Pete Fleischmann Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Hey all- the very fiddley right/aft countermeasures are up- I added a few Archer rivets to the boxes, decals, and power cords and connectors. a little grain to the paint here and there that I’m just noticing..hmm. Might need stronger cheaters! cheers Pete Edited January 16, 2021 by Pete Fleischmann geedubelyer, Buster99, johncrow and 18 others 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Those raised rivets are a tremendous game changer Pete! This is a remarkable build in every respect. I’m learning a lot here. Cheers, Tom Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 It's just too good at this point. You could tell me it's a real Pavehawk, and I'd believe you completely. Matt Pete Fleischmann and Uncarina 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growth is good..but I’m sure more challenges are coming- all good! cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so- I’ve never actually been to the NATS.. should put that on my bucket list I suppose! maybe NOREASTCON? But really that would just be to see my friends..like Bob Beary..who is the greatest modeler you’ve never heard of. Gotta get him to post his work- cheers Pete Uncarina and themongoose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um yeah!!!! I definitely agree with that statement. Vegas would be a perfect NATS for Pete to take his model seeing that Nellis is full of AF CSAR helos!

Pete Fleischmann Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hey all, Started working up the GAU-18/A .50 cal guns. These are the Live Resin guns, and they are really nice. Beware though- the Live Resin set is engineered for the Academy kit. Also, the guns are left/right sided- pay attention to the feed chutes- the left side gun feeds left and right feeds right- below you can see the Kitty Hawk mount on the left and the Live Resin mount on the right. I’ll use the Live Resin part, but will have to modify the mount slightly to interface with the Kitty Hawk attachment point on the sponson- cheers Pete KiwiZac, CZPetrP, dodgem37 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
