Calling it done.

Wings are done and attached. Drilled out the exhaust ports and adding exhaust stains. Last piece is the main rotor which I test fitted. Plus the model is not a tail sitter. But not by much.

Added the tail.

Having to build and paint this kit in sections because of its weird shape. Next I will work on the tail section.

Aotake was done by applying Alcad Duraluminum first then spraying a 50/50 mix of Tamiya clear blue and clear green on top of it.

My first 1/48 kit. I mainly work in 1/72 scale but was challenged by my fellow club members to build a kit larger than 1/72 and a kit than was not 50 years old.

No. This is rebox 1965 model kit.

You can see how my method worked on my Wellington I posted here. The bottom panel lines are all created by my method. Also to can see them on top of the nose area.

I use method similar to using tape and mr surfacer. I use one piece of tape and airbrush some primer at a 45 degree angle at the tape edge. Takes practice put it goes very fast.

Another British bomber to go with my Short Stirling.

Those are decals from the kit.

My latest project.

The brass tubing has the same feel amd strength as the flexi-file I have. Course this was my first attempt and I could have bend the first curve alittle wider and not have suck a kink in it.
