Chek Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) +1 for the foil idea, though it'd suit a heavily wire-wooled dull finish rather than super bright aluminium. It'll certainly look an impressive monster whichever route you go. Edited March 11, 2020 by Chek Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Adding vents and scoops to the engine nacelles. I have used manila folder card stock to bend the shapes. They are then glued to the nacelle with super glue. Dan daveculp, AlexM, Kagemusha and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Riveting, not very exciting, but necessary to bring these large slabs of plastic to life. Dan MikeMaben, Starfighter, BiggTim and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandiego Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Not much progress. However I have sprayed on a little Alclad gloss black to see if there is a reaction with the primer and to see if the scribed details and rivets will show through the gloss coat. I usually put a dust coat first. This allows me to clean up any needed repairs before the wet coat. I will probably be using Alclad vs foil as I have no experience using foil. Not sure how long the learning curve is for foil. Dan HerculesPA_2, 109, Starfighter and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 That T-tail is almost as impressive as the HP Victors! You've blended the bullets in well. Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the bullets turned out well. However there was a lot of pondering and mistakes made to get it right. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Working on the bomb bay. Basic structure and some bombs. Correct bombs will have the box tail. So I will have to modify the 6 tan bombs that I got from the Revell Mirage. I will try to design and 3D print the new box tails.

Dandiego Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Most major parts now have a wet coat of Alclad gloss black. I see some defects in the paint and will need to sand out a few areas.
