spyrosjzmichos 1,564 Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Nice progress Albert! Applying all these stencils does require a ton of patience! AlbertD 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AlbertD 1,170 Posted October 15 Author Share Posted October 15 Finally finished applying the stencil decals. It's good to know I can move on and get some other stuff done. I did see something interesting on the HGW website. Of course it might be old news. They have seatbelts and stencils for 1/48 Phantoms. I wonder if that means 1/32 is on its way? Do any of you guys have any influence at HGW? If so please put in a word. I bet they would sell pretty well. spyrosjzmichos, MARU5137 and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to post Share on other sites
AlbertD 1,170 Posted October 17 Author Share Posted October 17 I have a question for you fellow Phantom builders who have installed the centerline fuel tank. Do you do anything to make for a better mounting? It just seems flimsy. I was thinking of somehow mounting magnets. I am using brass rod for the pylons and ordnance but there is no place for that on the tank. They are both hollow. MARU5137 1 Link to post Share on other sites
vvwse4 561 Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 Hi Albert, I see the problem. At the end of the centerline there are two little panels which come out to give the centerline more stabilazation in flight ( I wonder if that is correct English? ) I want to use those two panels to fix the centerline a bit more better. Hope this helps. Love your build, Rick MARU5137 and AlbertD 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AlbertD 1,170 Posted October 19 Author Share Posted October 19 OK you guys, what do you think about this panel line wash color? Is it too dark? Of course it will tone down with more weathering. Alex, chuck540z3, John1 and 14 others 17 Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 1,439 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 PLW looks good. Holy crap that's a lot of stencils! You'd think they would worry about exceeding max takeoff weight just from the added paint... AlbertD 1 Link to post Share on other sites
