scvrobeson Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Don't know, haven't paid that close attention to it since seeing an announcement for it. Hopefully it wasn't stopped. If it was, guess I'll follow your lead with the masks and decals. Matt Aigore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigore Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Sunday is upon us again and thus an update too. Up where the wheels go Yup wheel bays! In the old days wheelbays just where places you attached the wheels on models, they were just squareish holes where the lugg of the strut fit now days it's something entirely different! As GWH shows with this kit, the wheelsbays are an important moment in a buld, just as important as the cockpit and GWH made them lovely small models in their own right. Usually the wheelbays are just something you have to do...but GWH brought the fun to building wheelbays! Youy don't need expensive resin that you have to mess with until they fit and by then you have CA glue everywhere and hav e glued your left eye shut. This is magnificient! Ok, enough of praising GWH and put some styrene together! I cleaned the parts and made them ready for primer. I primed the parts in black except the tubes, they were primed in white. Then I shot MRP-49 russian wheelbay gray. Painted all the tubes and cables, that are separate pieces! THen I detail painted the walls in the nose wheel bay. Glued the to the bay.... And glued the bay to the fuselage. Then I detail painted the stuff for the main bays.... OMG, the clutter is spreading! I don't know why I do this...I always end up with a workspace of about 10 x 10 cm! Anyways, I put down a thin wash in the bays to bring out the details. Thought to myself that it probably is a good ideato paint the bay parts of the fuselage before I install the boxes....said and done! Then I glued all the pipes, cables and plumbings into place in the bays and wow! that is simply awesome! and it was fun! So with the bays done I glued them into the fuselage. Ah they look great!

Alex Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Those are about the fanciest kit wheelbays I’ve ever seen. Up there with the Tamiya 1:32 super warbirds for sure. You could do all of the conduits and hydraulic lines with lead wire, but it’s pretty cool to have them supplied in styrene in the kit. chrish and Aigore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed...and all fits amazingly well. But at the same time....I feel like cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigore Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 The Friday update is here! The Wheel-welling Continues Moving on to the outer parts of the main wheel wells. I begin by glueing in the roof of the airintakes, they have an itty bitty wheel well part. The fit was pleasently perfect. Next I cleaned the small stuff and detail painted them With the small stuff painted I started glueing them into place, first to the engine nacelles. And into the fuselage part too. Then a gloss coat and and a light wash. I finished off by wiping off excessive wash and flat coated. I finnished today session with dry fitteing the intake and engine nacelle....looks delightfully busy!

I can focus on the painting and weathering, the kit builds itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
