DIO Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Hi all. This is my latest WIP. The model had a lot of work externally to demonstrate a stressed metal effect. Then got all dressed up with BMF. Now I am in the painting process, but there is still a lot to be done. Note that in order to be able and better handle the model, I have not painted the firewall and the vertical fin. Next steps are the engine and the turret. Thank you :-) Edited April 24, 2020 by DIO mustang1989, LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIO Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 The scratch building in the engine area has just began. I did not want to work touching the already painted model, so I built a little cradle in the shape of the firewall. All measurements and details will be made against it and the final component will then take place on the fuselage. The engine here, comes from CMK set 4287 - Merlin Mk. 45/46 and NOT the 4363 - Baulton Paul Defiant. The reason is that the Defiant set provides half the engine and no engine bearings. It is good only if you intend to show a half open engine and not what I was after. Set 4363 though has the firewall and some of the details between the engine and the firewall, so if your budget allows, buy them both! Cheers, DIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Looking good thus far. I wish this aircraft was available in 1/32 scale. Ernest Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just a vecuform model, from I.D. Models that is very poor and will require tones of work to become acceptable...

Chek Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I'm not sure what's going on with the colour shift in your photos, but at first I thought you were doing it in desert camouflage. Which would be an interesting and rare variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
