dmthamade Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thank you for the support, guys!! This has been a fun and suprisingly pain free build (except for the self inflicted part). Should be able to put in more time this weekend. Don sandokan and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Little more progress. Bench time is at a premiums, did manage to get the panel line wash down and cleaned off. Don't know if i'll do much more than this as far as weathering, most pics i see show a small amount of wear and tear on the aircraft.

Joel_W Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Don, Your F-80 is really looking good. Just the right amount of weathering as far as I'm concerned. Joel dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 My add a bit more weathering in the form of oil staining, otherwise that's it. Today i found some time to work on the build, attached the seat, and all the gear work. Let it dry, watching the drags on tv, good times.... set the build down on the gear Well.

dmthamade Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 So, i was able to get the instrument panel out, $0.25 in nickels later it was on its nose gear . I finished the build, some warts and stuff, but i'll be happy just to call this done. Done. Time to move on...

BloorwestSiR Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Great finish Don. I like the minimal weathering too. What's next on the list? Carl dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradG Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Great as always mate. I will get that gallery up and running! dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 I have to say, after i posted i noticed i left the tailpipe and gun barrels off....man, there's a lot i didn't do on this thing. Don't know how/why i could get so much wrong with the build.... Weathering is conservative, i like how the colors stand out. Not sure what i'll build next, hopefully something that has better fit/engineering. Don I just found the joystick while cleaning up.....

Joel_W Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Don, I enjoyed every update of your build. And the final results of a most difficult kit is just outstanding. Looking forward to your next build. Joel dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themongoose Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I like the way the stripes and the panel lines interact, looked realistic to me. On a plane where these are what draws your focus I think this made the build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
