scvrobeson Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Excellent, excellent work! Great saves with the chipping fluid, and the weathering. It's really coming together for you. Matt Thunnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Thanks for the wonderful comments! Now that I've passed the paint struggles, I suddenly realize that I'm approaching the end of this build. The control surfaces have been glued into place. The exhausts are installed. Time for a flat coat! This is always a fun stage since it will tie in all of the paint, markings, decals and weathering into a (hopefully) cohesive whole. The Strategic Ordnance Works landing gear is attached and the model is up on its own legs.

turbo Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 That's a great recovery with the paint John. You've got the chipping and weathering looking lovely now, I particularly like the subtle streaking on the flaps. Thunnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Love it. Looking forward to the canopy masks taken off. Maybe the white overspray props added too, Thunnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Danke Freunde! Working on a few details prior to crossing the finish line with this G-14 build. The Barracuda resin prop blades have been mounted onto the spinner using Barracuda's jig (which is sold separately from the spinner kit). I've added some staining to the spinner. This aircraft did not have an antenna mast so I fashioned a small attachment point and glued it on the fuselage right behind the canopy. Based on this photo of Hartmann's machine. The spinner is a push-fit onto the fuselage and will be removable. Only a few more things on the checklist before she's finished: drop tank, pitot tube, whip antenna, IFF antenna, gun barrels, wing tip lights, aileron balancers and removing the canopy masks. Perhaps one more short update before I post the glamour shots on the RFI board. daHeld, Beaconroot, Gazzas and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
