WildBill50 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 Mark, That looks great. Paint scheme top notch. Are the red markings painted or decals? Also, what about the flying wires...what did you use. I really like this bird. Bill
ghodges Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 I whole heartedly agree, beautiful build! GIL
aAzZ09 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys! Bill: I used Testors Red paint (in the tiny bottle) to spray the Red sash line you see on the fuselage and stripe on the wing. Testors Model Master Olive Drab was used first on the fuselage, then carefully masked off to allow the Red sash you see, ditto although Yellow base for the wings. The rigging was done with .020" plastic line from Contrails, hung on the fuselage and wings, and blown with a match to tighten them after attached with super glue. I got lost in the 1930's on that one. Now, I'm lost in the '50s with my latest project: reworking an old Monogram F-86F Sabre and giving it the late Les Sundt's natural metal scheme, althought this time I plan to use Alclad II instead of the Carver Tripp Clear Varnish and SNJ power as he did. Best, Mark Mark, That looks great. Paint scheme top notch. Are the red markings painted or decals? Also, what about the flying wires...what did you use. I really like this bird.
