bsarnoffca Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Wow Murph, you're fly'n! It's looking really nice so far but I just don't believe you'll be able to resist detailing something. What will the color scheme/unit be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PietvWdV Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Great work on the panel mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngoMango Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Wow Murph, you're quite the prolific builder these days, hey?! But it's the quality more than the quantity that impresses me. The cockpit is looking great mate, especially that instrument panel. Your weathering is really nice. Cheers Ango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMurph Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 Thanks guys for the kind words, I'll be doing some detail work on this one maybe not to the extent of the corsair, I'm not as knowledgable of the 109 as I am of the corsair, I do want to try some detail in the wheel wells, and I may do some detailing in the spinner and prop. this may just lead to more things as I go along. Honestly I thik the detail in this kit is really good. Cheers Murph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hannover - Germany Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 This looks great Murph! Fantastic job on the pit! Glad my pics are of help for you. Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi Murph, very nice work so far. Why do we keep building the same models. I have 3 109's lined up after the corsair. I like what you are doing. I don;t feel that you should waste money on an aftermarket cockpit. The kit cockpit is vey nice and only needs minor reworking. Glad you went for that. Keep it up.

AceofClubs Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi DMurph. Great cockpit! I like the instruments panel. If I understand right the dials are out from the box. Superb! Can you explain your way to give a so realistic effect? Many thanks and all the best Fil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMurph Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks for the nice comments. Hi DMurph. Great cockpit! I like the instruments panel. If I understand right the dials are out from the box. Superb! Can you explain your way to give a so realistic effect?Many thanks and all the best Fil The panel was painted in a acrylic RLM66 gray let to dry then with a thinned solution of enamel black I wash painted the dials this was too given time to dry over night. Dry brush the dial faces with Light gray. The next step is to wash the panel lines in dark umber oil paint thinned, and the dial faces I used layers of future floor wax to build the lens. That's it! Hope that helps Cheers Murph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Murph, I like your 109! I also enjoyed the F4-u. Did you know the fuel line in the pit was actually a "sight glass" installed in the fuel line with 2 pieces of rubber hose+hose clamps, to connect it in-line with the steel fuel lines. (sort of like the old fashioned in-line glass fuel filter used on the old muscle cars) not critisizing, just a feature many miss. what is the paint on this bird going to be? cheers Mike in calif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary V. Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Great job! It is a nice kit. I made the mistake of painting the cockpit panzer gray. I have since discovered that is not even close! Hey Mike in Calif., do you have picture of the fuel line? I had never thought it might have been clear like the older car type fuel filters. I wonder how hard it would be to insert a piece of clear sprue? That would look really cool! Maybe a little clear yellow? blue? Keep up the good work! Gary V.
