SABregi Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Here is my Trumpeter 1:72 scale F-105D. It has an Aires resin cockpit and some detailing added to the main gear wells and the parachute well.

ClareWentzel Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 My God!!! How did you get such a good looking model. Did you do something special around the rivets or was it simply the kit detail? Really nice job on a great airplane. The close-up of the under-surface is perfect. How did you glue the model together and yet have panel lines and rivets still show perfectly. The light at the base of the fin is great. Did you just paint it or did you use something else? You are a master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABregi Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Clarence.... The rivets are just as they come in the kit. I just had to redo a few along the mating edges. I use Tamiya Extra Thin cement. What seams that needed puttying were done with Tamiya Basic grey putty. All seam work was then over painted with Surfacer 1000 to seal them. Interestingly the light at the base of the fin was a kit clear part but I instead put a drop of epoxy in it. It then sagged and formed the reflector and thus was painted chrome silver. I then just had to add another drop of epoxy too level it. The model was painted in Testors Model master ADC Grey and coated with Tamiya Semi-gloss clear and the panel lines were given a wash of artist oils thinned with Turpenoid! After that drys you just take a table napkin moistened in Turpenoid and just wipe off the excess! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
