I have a special pair of magnifies that I use for really small detail painting. Best $30 bucks I've ever spent on modeling tools. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim I'm almost done with my P-47, after that I've got to figure out if I'll do the Tamiya F-4C or the 60 Lima. Going to be a very hard choice. I'm a bit intimidated by the outstanding H-60 builds here. Might have to watch you complete yours and then make a final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw your little bird you did years ago and you don't need to wait, it looked awesome. Tim Out2gtcha and John1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwrench Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Next up was the IP or instrument panel as it's called. I spent the better part of 2 hours applying the flight instrument decals from the Airscale Modern Cockpit Instrument set as well as cutting out parts of the kit decal from the kit. 2 very small decals came from a leftover 1/48 F-14 data sheet. At least its 1/2 way done! Chow for now! Tim LSP_Kevin, scvrobeson, Out2gtcha and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dials and painting is AWESOME. I can just picture you with one eye closed and one open like an artist using their thumbs for depth.. Keep up the EXCELLENT work. Thanks Maru! Yep, one eye closed, dip my brush in the paint, hold my breath and very small dabs on the part then exhale. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwrench Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Tonight I was able to finish up the instrument panel and add a couple of extra details to the center console. Chow for now!

My bench night was Saturday night and I was too tired, so I didn't stay up that night. I'll try it again this Saturday night. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
