1/32 Roden PT-17 Kaydet - Complete

[olgerd83 885]

Thank you guys, let's proceed:

- I painted all fuselage tubes and glues all cockpit details together

 

 

- surprisingly, I spent very little amount of putty

 

- while putty was drying, I decided to work a bit with engine. I removed plastic wires

 

- glued both engine halves together

 

- using nuts, medical needles and wires I made....

 

this hedgehog

 

also painted all engine details in black

 

- fuselage and wing were sanded

 

- and covered with primer

 

 

- to be continued.....

Looks very neat and straightforward so far, impressive work Oleg.

Thanks.

 

Christmas long weekend was very productive

-painted wings in yellow, firstly I used Hataka paint for Early US planes colors, but I didn't like how it looks (used half of bottle and it was not too bright)

so I repainted everything with Mr.Hobby RLM 04

 

Here, on left, you can see Mr.Hobby and on right - Hataka

 

 

all wings are covered with Mr.Hobby RLM 04

 

yellow parts are covered and fuselage was painted in blue

 

 

I like it very much, even though its an American plane, but it looks so Ukrainian )))

That's because the model is made by Roden!

Very good work and progress, Oleg!

 

Cheers,

I hope that port aileron isn’t firmly glued in position Oleg!?

olgerd83,

 

OUTSTANDING  workmanship  all round... the painting..the engine which i think is fantastic and well 

I watched the video of your cockpit transformation  and that was just SUPERBLY  done. Masterful workmanship indeed.

and I do like the idea of Video  showing the build.

thank you for one AWESOME  model.

Hope your New Year  is a good  one.

Thank you, I really try to do my best on every single model. And not just in models, but in life in general, I believe that if you do not, than what's the point even to start...

 

 

Meanwhile, small update with the build:

- kit offers to use decals for a rudder, but I decided to paint it

 

 

- drilled some holes and added wires, I know they should be a bit thicker, but I do not have such a wire, sorry

(a perfectionist inside me screams )

 

 

- Roden is one of the companies that gained during this lock-downs and pandemic, they finally managed to make an awesome decals.

In this kit they are thing, do not brake, even without using Set/Sol look good

 

These pictures were taken before covering decals with additional future layer.

 

Thanks for watching, to be continued...

Looks very nice! But, the tail should have 13 stripes.

[Out2gtcha 35,850]
