Jaro Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 After following your builds nothing is the same. This thread is not an exception; just another benchmark against which to assess. airscale and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurribomber Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) A masterpiece I admire the aluminum skinning with the riveting! The rudder is superbly done. Congratulations!

Rainer Hoffmann Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I haven't checked in for a while and then this happens. The master is doing it again ... Peter, I'm learning so much whenever you post something. Many thanks for that. And keep the updates coming.

airscale Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 thank you all - very kind so, pressing on, I made the elevators the same way as the rudder and then added all the rib tapes with solid decal - this is about my least favourite job in modelling - it truly sucks... still, got it done and after many washes with micro sol & micro set I was happy the adhesion was as good as I could get it... in some places like where the trim tabs are, there wwas a bit of creasing, and some bubbles, and it took about 3 days to work through all this and get it all fully dry.. ..after priming, the rudder was painted with MRP insignia white and progressively masked to match a scaled version of a photo of the original aircraft.. the masking was all fine, just took a lot of care and 'de-tacked' the tamiya tape by sticking it to the palm of my hand first, also all edges were cut with a fresh scalpel blade.. ..all the mounts & torque tubes were made, plainted & added.. ..same process for the elevators, but these were just shot with alclad... ..and mocked up on the model.. ..not sure whats up next, will have to be a surprise TTFN Peter Furie, TheBaron, Anthony in NZ and 33 others 35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulpk Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Peter, just absolute great detail work. The “bar” is so high, I can’t imagine it could be surpassed. Very refreshing…thank you! airscale, Derek B, JayW and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayW Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Great work on the tail feathers. Timely too - as you know just did same on the Corsair! I'm really surprised and heartened that the decal strips stayed put. You are fearless. airscale and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
