[Canadair CF-104 "Starfighter" 1:32 MWP Project]

Hi to all
I finished the MWP (Metal Work Panels)  Canadair CF-104 Starfighter project with an aluminum coating .
The kit used is that of Italeri with the addition of some optional accessories and many scratch-built parts.
The project envisaged the representation of the model belonging to the 417 SQN. Cold Lake Alberta year 1970 under renovation / reconditioning and rearmament with the Vulcan M61 / A cannon removed first.
For the technical part, I found, among others, different interesting photographic material and to which I was inspired, directly on the website of the http://www.canadianstarfightermuseum.ca/

For the contextualization, I modified the product of the Noy Pines 3D Display expanding the three high-resolution images to reach an optimal result according to the actual dimensions of the model.

These are the images of the finished work:

Are "Metal Work Panels" a product? can you tell us how they work and where you get them?

 

There are some polished-aluminum sports cars that should be this shiny...

 

Don

Hi Don

Thank you for your interest in this work

 

MWP ( Metal Work Panels ) is the standard technique for processing metal panel .

The material used is of simple aluminum tape adhesive

available in hardware stores or Brico

here some example:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suggest the tape SARATOGA with protective film ( for cloning the original panel )

 

Explain how the technique MWP is not easy but , if you want, you can find a short guide ( illustrated step by step )

[Fiat G50bis "Freccia" Special Hobby 1:32 scale model]

What a great looking model! Love the added detailing as well as the "period" looking photos towards the end. Are those MWP panels aftermarket items, or a modification of your own? Also, exactly how did you create the wear patterns on the one side of the fuselage? Congrats on a super looking build!

 

GIL

Hi Gil

Thank you for watching this my last work and for the comment that I've appreciated very much.

The metal panels, are not commercially available and have been fully realized by me through the use of the technique MWP (Metal Work Panels).

The heavy weathering panel was achieved by applying a self adhesive ultra-thin metal panel (aluminum metal tape). After riveted and designed all the lines on the original, I fixed the metal panel and I painted as normal.

Then I removed with a cotton swab soaked in thinner a little part of paint to simulate wear.

Sorry for my bad English, I just hope you have understood me.

However, if you go on my website, you can immediately see the steps of the technique in the wip on the MWP model Su37 Flanker "Terminator" (10 steps) so to get an idea.

Cheers

Hi to all.
Let me share with you my latest work:
The Fiat G50bis "arrow" - Special Hobby 1:32 scale model.
The model has been completely revised and corrected: I turned down all the flaps, I opened the compartment ammunition, I opened the access door to the left and the engine compartment and much more.
The effect "heavy weathering" has been obtained with the technique MWP (Metal work panels)
Thank you for watching:

[Hello from Milan]

Hi to all
My name is George and I'm from Milan, Italy. I apologize for my bad English.
I thank Chris and all the staff for the welcome in your Forum.
I love modeling and I have created a website where I parked my some of my work : http://www.adventurephotomodels.com
Here is a recently completed model: PV-1 Ventura Revell kit 1/48 scale model.
The model (not historical) is an experimental technique on the study and application of the MWP (Metal work panels) and was detailed with Eduard photoetched and resin parts of the Lone Star Models USA.

Currently I'm finishing this F / A 18E Trumpeter 1/32 scale model fully customized and correct:

Once it is completed, I will present the model on this forum.
Happy modeling to all.

George
