wdedig Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 OD and Yellow stands out. Tamiya Rattle can Yellow(was Great), Gunze Olive Drab Decals came with Kit and need some white disks to keep out the yellow. Other than that the decals where very good. The wing walks didn't match up with the fuselage sections and needed some black touch-up...no big thing Looks OLD!! White Nacelles added a Bit to the overall project Cheers Bill 1
ghodges Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 Beautiful Golden Age bomber Bill! Is that the 1/72 Williams Bros. kit? Congrats on adding a rare one to your shelf! GIL
wdedig Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks Gil. It is the Williams Brothers kit. New release with gret decals. Lots of flas and a bit of a challenge. Thanks Again Bill
aAzZ09 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 Hap Arnold would be proud of this one! Way to go Bill! Well done! The Golden Age is where I like to camp out. Best, Mark
wdedig Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks Mark There is something about "yellow " wings Cheers Bill
Mark Deliduka Posted October 24, 2014 Report Posted October 24, 2014 That is one beautiful aircraft! Way to go! I have a William's Bros. kit of the C-46 to do. I think I'll be starting it soon, once I get a few other large models out of the way.
Bubbajoe Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 WOW....outstanding build .wish i had half the talent
MarkYoungCrewChief Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 Bill, very nice job on a less than 'shake n bake' kit. I have one on the schedule to do in that scheme as Hap Arnold's ship during the deployment to Alaska. I can use yours as an inspiration.
MarkYoungCrewChief Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Bill, this is not an attempt to steal your thread or thunder. Please excuse me. Mark, The C-46 can be built. The tough part is the fit of the wings into the fuselage and the dihedral. If I recall, I inserted a 0.020 shim in each wing root, pulled the wingtips up with tape and shot the liquid cement to it. Once that was cured I had to lay in several layers of bondo to build up the wing center section level with the fuselage. Looks good to me!
