Nice to see all elements are properly addressed by designers. Thanks It is a very thought throug and well engineered kit. I would place the fit in the realm of short series injection molded kits but with details that are far above. Only real bad decision was printing the instrument panel standing up. Quinta studio like printed decals would be perfect for this kit! IvanVasili and Violator1991 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IvanVasili Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Wonderful progress. I also think that this kit would be even greater with a Quinta Studio range printed decals. Jetmads should note that for a possible improvement in their next kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ivan indeed....and turned brass pitotubes. Those 3d printed pitottubes will snap instantly....hopefully Master listened to me and will scale up their 1/48 set to 1/32 but that they would put them out there early next year at the soonest.

Cheers, Marcel Thanks Marcel it's a pleasure being here, it's a bit sad how things have slowed down at ARC. It used to be a vibrant forum like LSP and Britmodeller. I am still faithful to ARC and post there but I'm widening my horizon Christoffer Lindelav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigore Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 I really wish Jetmads had solved this differently, yes the details are there but the printer layers ruins them and it´s almost impossible to remove them without ruining the details! I think printed instrument decals a la Quinta Studio would have been the best sollution here.... next time, OK Jetmads? OK, I worked with what I got, did some detail painting on the IP Added the decals to the HUD and cowling. I used some of the decals for the instruments but I left the screens painted. Put the IP into the cowling, the fit isn´t glorious, I had to sand a bit but still couldn´t get a perfect fit because if I had sanded more I would have damaged gauges. I painted the forward part of the IP shroud in very thinned XF-51 Kahki drab. This part bleeches in the sunlight and takes on a brownish tint after a while. Then I drybrushed with dark gray and painted a thinned black on the middle section. I finished it all with a drybrush with flesh to get a warm tone. Oh yeah, and painted a bit of silver on the HUD lens Talking about the HUD, the HUD looks like this.....it´ll be a female dog to make that clear.... So I scrapped it and decided to use clear acetate instead. One of my favourite tools, the caliphers. I inherited it from my dad when he passed 2007 and everytime I use it I think of him Anyways it is incredibly useful and should be a part of every modellers tool box. I used it to meassure the width of the HUD glass Put down a drop of clear green on the lens I cut the acetate to shape and glued them in with clear varnish With that I flat coated the IP and added clear varnish on top of screens and gauges to simulate glass. And glued it all into the pit.... it´s almost done now. Looks OK And the nosecone got in place too Tomorrow I´ll clean that seam... Cheers!
