marauderdriver Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Man, you have patience! Good job with the fuselage. Gaz Thanks Gaz, I don't know if it's patience or I have to get it done. It is part of a collection being done for the museum I work at Barksdale AFB. I have this and a Hasegawa B-47 to finish by the second week of March. So what was the Radioactive half-life of Cobalt -Thorium G again Dr.?Thanks your persistence is paying off! Thanks Shawn, Gotta move ahead...Failure is not an Option! Go git 'em brother, go git 'em. Slap this thing into submission if you must, but it WILL submit. I'll be doing the same with my hideous Amodel An-8. Slap it, twist it, clamp it into submission! Here, these may be easier: You may have the right idea Jesse, one of my club members offered a tree branch the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) Thank You Teresa, Good to hear from y'all!! I think I have pretty much beat the fuselage into submission. Now comes the L/G doors, Boomer's station and cockpit canopy. Re-scribing a few vertical panel lines on the right rear 1/4 that I filled so I could match up the halves.

Michael931080 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Oh marauderdriver, I give you full kudo's for this effort! Especially up to the point your at right now with the canopy! That is some scary warpage. I don't think I could handle that bad of resin in a kit! Keep at it, I want to see how you finish this resin beast! marauderdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thank You Michael, Believe me....This is a "Failure is Not an Option" build for the museum I work. So keeping with THE FAITH, I press on!! Carefully think out my options while fitting parts and see how much work there is on the wings and engine intake seams........ Cheers jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Dude, That's an impressive improvement on the canopy! Thanks for telling me you used the heat gun. I have one, and now have may have another reason to use it some day. *applause* Gaz marauderdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thank You Gaz, I think Anigrand should include a heat gun in their kits. I can't see getting all of these issues fixed with hot water. I bought my gun to bend acrylic rod for my in- flight displays. I also have an Anigrand Martin Seamaster that will need it too. Now to work on closing the landing gear doors........YEE-HAW!!!! jack LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Great save on the fuselage! You must the patience of a saint! With That fuselage many people would have given up and tossed it. Thank You Sir!, I have been told that I have a lot of patience and modeling has taught me how to work things thru. I think it might be the Greatest Virtue of modeling because as you develop it your modeling improves. The added factor is that this has to be finished for a museum display....kind a DRIVING FACTOR! I probably would have ask for a refund on the kit otherwise......lol Stay tuned...There's more Mad-Cap Adventure coming!....... TRUST ME! jack Smart and bold approach, I like it a lot. Generalissimo We must be "Smart and Bold" to prove to the Capitalist what we have always known. The Future of Mankind will be Great when the "WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE"! Miss our "Back in Forth" reply's Hope things are Good for you. But DAMN Martin.........Now I need a cigarette!! Your Comrade for LIFE! jack Going to fly to Jack's house and ask Jack to make us a canopy, he is doing such a FANTASTIC job on his..... way to save it!!! HEY TERESA!! Hope you can stay for awhile..... Thank You so much for your support! Working on anything? jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
