LSP_K2 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Experimenting with some rust shades here, I believe I‘m going to opt for the medium & light rust for the bomb (left and right). chaos07, R Palimaka, Azgaron and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Centerline bomb now painted, again. I’ve noted that on many bombs of this nature, there seem to be reddish brown bands painted in the area of the shipping rings, so I have now masked and painted these. Bomb stripe decals are pretty much worthless, so I'll just paint those on. Fingers crossed. LSP_Kevin, MikeC, MikeMaben and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 And the bomb gets some yellow stripes (Aeromaster RLM 04). I've seen numerous iterations of these rings, and so have elected to do it as shown. Now on to the weathering. Yee-haw. Shoggz, chaos07, MikeC and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Oh boy, seat harnesses. I intend to get these installed tonight. Wish me luck. chaos07, Archimedes, denders and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 An extra, double application of Tamiya has been added to the tail/fuselage seams, as I just wasn't happy with the earlier result. chaos07, Azgaron, Archimedes and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Kits-World seat harnesses now added. Tomorrow I'll dirty this up with some washes and get ready to assemble the fuselage halves. MikeC, patricksparks, Fanes and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 And finally, the long awaited (by me) celebratory joining of the fuselage halves. A significant milestone for me. I'm a happy guy! Archimedes, nmayhew, D Bellis and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Engine cowl pieces are an excellent fit, as one might expect, and will require very minor cleanup. nmayhew, Shoggz, chaos07 and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archimedes Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Great progress Kevin - I like your cockpit! Very neat work on the bomb too. Kind regards, Paul Edited April 10 by Archimedes LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Top seams now straightened out and windscreen glass temporarily test fitted; it fits near perfect too. Soon I’ll be ordering a Montex mask set for all the glass, and shortly thereafter will begin painting this baby.

LSP_K2 Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 MLG now gets their “knees”, and wings get their gun inserts. Fit of these items is generally pretty good, but some cleanup will certainly be required. One word of note: several of the ejector pins left bumps on the upper and lower wings, but with some fine sanding sticks, these can easily be dealt with. Bumps here are obviously not yet finish sanded. chaos07, scvrobeson, Out2gtcha and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Nice progress. The cockpit is looking tidy under the glass too. Kind regards, Paul LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
