Greif8 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The gas patches were definitely non-standard in size and location Mike, so I am not surprised to see one on top of the fuselage near the fin. Good modelling choice to put it there as that is an uncommon spot for it which adds to the uniqueness of the build IMHO. Very nice work on the stencils as well my friend!

quang Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Nice camo and weathering . The gas patch makes it! MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 ... entering the stretch. Bottom side is done. Added some oil stains up front trying to match the stains on the gear doors. Got the belts on the seat ... they' RB's except the ends with the holes which are kit PE. I don't see how anybody but a brain surgeon could get those rings placed on the holes. Seats and belts are in along with the gunsight (pictures later ?) Working on scratching a mirror mount and mirror. Got the mount finished once and pinged it into the twilight zone. Comin' round the bend , I CAN SEE THE FINISH LINE !!! Later , or sooner ? Isar 30/07, quang, Tolga ULGUR and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Looking good all around MIke! The oil staining looks really nice. The seatbelt looks the part as well. Though you are not using one, I find Sutton Harnesses the most challenging to assemble of the HGW line. Ernest MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Thanks Ernest, in the pic they are just sitting , after they are in the cockpit I got them wet with soapy water and positioned them better. Thanks to all you guys for checkin' in. mozart and Citadelgrad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Looking really good Mike, the staining looks really effective but still subtle, the RB seatbelts are a little challenging to put together but do look good in the end, shame they are no longer available but I have some in the stash.
