TomR Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 It's starting to look like an airplane folks! Top wing is on and the weathering can begin. And of course the rigging which doesn't seem to bad. Thanks for looking Kagemusha, LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomR Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'll start by some of you guys here are truly artists especially when it comes to hand painting and I am not among that group. Despite my best efforts I can't paint the layer plywood effect on a prop to save my life. I've tried....and failed haha. With that being said I'm happy with how the prop turned out and I think it will look on the plane. I still need to paint the metal hub and attach the decals but you get the idea. One place I was able to enhance the kit was the exhaust. I took a tool that I made for scraping seam lines(basically a 1/4" wide chisel that's as sharp as a razor) and cut the plastic inside the exhaust. Then I applied tamiya extra thin to smooth out the gouges. Pretty decent result for only a bit of effort. For paint I applied gloss black then Exhaust Manifold followed by a burnt iron. Little bit of a rust and wash and this exhaust will look great. I'm glad I opened up the outlet of the pipe, just need to darken it with black to make it look correct.
