chrish Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 A bit more done on the T-28 I had to add another 1.5 ozs to the nose making the model quite heavy and me a little nervous...the main gear legs aren't quivering under load yet but I bet it's close. The kit comes with 1.8 ozs of steel to counter balance it but maybe with the resin parts I've skewed that calculation? In any case the model will now sit on it's nose gear. Here's a couple of shots of how it sits tonight; the cowls are coated with alclad dark aluminum in preparation for the coming paint chipping Thanks for looking LSP_Kevin, scvrobeson, BradG and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 I've been splashing some paint here and there; All paints are Tamiya acrylics over Alclad lacquers (just for the weathering) Thanks for looking themongoose, Sepp, Martinnfb and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 Thanks for the encouragement! I spent the day in the hobby room hiding out from record breaking heat wave (40°C) Some of you are used to it, may even think that's mild but that's hot for Saskatoon. Thank goodness for A/C I spent some time detailing painting and sticking weapons and landing gear together.

Finn Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Looking good Chris, maybe the bombs could use a bit of weathering. You're welcome for the heat we sent you from BC, we had our fair share even here on the Island. Jari Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrotten Highlander Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 must be something wrong with the pictures, as I cannae see any fork. Nice model though. Martinnfb and chrish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
