LSP_K2 Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 OK, some base color spritzed on the interior now. Detail painting to follow. Just for the sake of variety, the seat frame will be a slightly different (darker) green. The Aires bits are really nice, and add a certain serious look to the interior.

LSP_K2 Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 I’ve now masked and painted radios and floor using Tamiya tire black, as well as misc wall details. I’m hoping to wrap this up tonight or tomorrow so I can get the fuselage halves zipped up. That may be a bit overly optimistic, as I still yet have to add all of the tiny Barracuda stenciling and placards, which I hope will add some real "zing". We’ll see.

LSP_K2 Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 I must say that if I ever use this set again, and I probably will, I’ll scrub it thoroughly and primer it before painting. I ripped more paint of this small part than I’ve ever stripped off five other whole models combined, and that’s while using low tack painters tape! Honest to goodness, I’ve ripped paint off different parts of this assembly four or five times now. scvrobeson, LSP_Ray, LSP_Kevin and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 After having major fits with fuselage fit issues last night (the thickness of the sidewalls turned out to be the issue, preventing the IP from fitting properly), I finally gave up and decided to attack the problem fresh today. Success! Fuselage now all glued up. Onward and upward, so to speak. Alex, scvrobeson, patricksparks and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Horizontal tails now anchored in place. I’m so close to the primer stage now. Sasha As, denders, rafju and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 My "mission" here of late, has been to slowly gather the remaining bits and bobs that I need to wrap up a few projects, so here are the gorgeous Barracuda wheels for the Mustang. I really don't understand how he pulls off such delicate work, but he certainly does. Alex, coogrfan, denders and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand how he pulls off such delicate work, but he certainly does. Yeah, I really like Roy's work. The cream-coloured resin can be deceiving and makes the casting less sharp than it really is. Needs primer and/or paint to see the full picture.

LSP_K2 Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Some preliminary Alclad primer/filler spritzed on bottom now. Unfortunately this reveals that there is more fine-tuning to do to seams. I also should have thinned the paint, which I will absolutely do next time. MikeC, scvrobeson, coogrfan and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 Granted this looks pretty rough, but all of the seams that had been fighting me have now received the big guns (superglue), and sanded out. I also took the opportunity to steel wool the rough Alclad primer areas, and even removed it altogether in certain spots.

LSP_K2 Posted Wednesday at 01:07 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:07 AM This particular seam has been nothing but a burden from day one, so I’ve now simply glued a plastic strip over it. Not accurate, but OK with me. LSP_Ray, MikeC, TankBuster and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted Wednesday at 06:34 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 06:34 AM And now primer again, this time with the Alclad thinned somewhat. Looks pretty decent, but some very minor problems still persist. Either way, I expect to be spraying the metal shades by next week sometime, if not sooner. patricksparks, Shoggz, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
