GVINCENT Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Thanks LSP Chris! That's an awesome example! Do you think clear sprue would make a noticable difference? I might have to break out the other 109 after my MiG 21 is finished! Gary V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Sorry for the hijack murph... Yes clear sprue is the way to go. I used stretched clear sprue from the kit's clear parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMurph Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 That's ok Chris I'm still doing prep work on the fuse sanding seams, And going crazy trying to make decent buckles for the straps. Maybe next time on the fuel line thou, I already am past that. I did paint it silver to represent the clear tube. As for the paint scheme it is going to be Trop Yellow 7, Pilot OBLT Tonne, Staffelkapitan, 3/JG 53, Bizerta, Feb,1943. Cheers Murph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PietvWdV Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 How do you make the buckles Damien? I am about to start on the lizard belts and would appreciate some tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMurph Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Piet all I do is try to bend them out of thin wire. I have been toying around with making them from plastic I'll let you know how it comes out with some pics. Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMurph Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Well folks, After getting my hands on some good pics of the harness straps," thanks to all who posted them" Here is my redition of the shoulder strap I'll do some minor bending if it and I'm sure it will look better painted. Now all I have to do is 3 more... Thanks again Cheers Murph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn C. Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Your harness straps are coming along nicely. I have used wire in the past, mostly on 1/48, but 1/32 too. I am going to try and fine some very thin lead solder and try it that way as solder is much more maleable than thin steel wire. I can never get that funky shape of the lap belt buckle using wire.
