James Rademaker Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Well done. This is a subject I built a few years ago. I really like the look of Eagleston’s bird. Looking forward to your thread. Jim Azgaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azgaron Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 After painting some detail, I assembled the engine. I got a few tips from Dugy's Thunderbolt build! One of them was to lower the engine. The other one was to cut up the drop tank mount in order to raise it a bit so the tank won't touch the floor. I've also worked a bit with the landing gear and tank parts, preparing stuff for paint. So now I got some painting and later assembly to do! Håkan mozart, DugyB, denders and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azgaron Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 The rims, covers and the tank was painted aluminium. Then the covers was turned over and painted zinc-chromate yellow. I almost forgot to put a small decal on the engine, but now it's done! The tires was painted with a mix of tire black and black. I kinda more or less copied what Dugy had done! After trying a few OD colours on the bombs, I found one that I liked. Now they only need a bit of touching up and decals, unless I paint the yellow bands. The prop tips and spinner got some yellow paint. I first glues the cowlings and then the bottom cover with the engine. After that the other covers was glued in place, one by one. A few bits and pieces to sort, like masking the canopy, before I can start priming and painting.
