Winnie Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I let my wife complete the debate on what to complete next in "Large Scale," Tossups were with the Tamiya P-51D, F4u-1A, and the Kinetic Hawk 155. She said I'd done lots of props lately so a blower is next! Kinetic's Hawk 155, with resin seats as I was given them, Master Pitot tube, home made vinyl MDC for the large fine canopy, Airscale decals for the instrument panels, and some Archer rivets for hte rear fuselage. I have scoured EricG's and BloorwestSiR's builds for some assistance, and there are tips there! No schedule, as I go to work in 2 days for another 2 weeks, but hey, a little at a time, feels good to actually complete some models for a change!

Uncarina Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I’m looking forward to seeing this come to fruition! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Will be fun to watch this. Mine is still unfinished at my parents' house i think. I'll have to possibly dig it up. Carl Winnie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Well, I got a few little things started, before I had to call it off, a prior commitment, and preparing for 2 weeks of work away took the rest of the day... Cockpit had 2 bulkheads installed to block view forward of the 2 individual pits, as well as some paint. Close to what the various sites call for, but perhaps a smidge too green? I dunno, looks ok to me, and darker than my standard go-to FS36231, I used Tamiya XF-66. Intakes prepped and painted white, and wheel wells painted 36440 which is close to what is asked for as well. So, See youse in 2 weeks! Cheers H. LSP_Kevin, Uncarina and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnie Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 OK, some paint and a clearcoat on a few of the parts, only limited time at the bench so this is unfortunately it...

Winnie Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 So, did a couple of pictures, ready to post as i got to work today... well, **** I got a new phone and took the pictures on my old phone... Managed to get the fuselage together, intakes are on, and glare shields in place... there are MASSIVE gaps between the intakes and the fuselage, but it will wait till I get home again in 3.5 weeks... (remind me to say no to any extra days for a spell...) Cheers Harald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 No worries! It’ll be great to see it come together eventually. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnie Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 You got it JensHB! Straight from the box. It terrifies me, as the paint is gloss... a nightmare for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
