ghodges Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Looking good! Are those gear actually already attached, or did you just pose the model on them? I know I'd be breaking them while handling during the decal process if it was me! GIL
wedfactory Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Posted January 1, 2015 The design of the kit forced you to put in the struts when putting the wing halves together. So yes they are attached.
wedfactory Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Posted January 1, 2015 This is my secret weapon when I decal my models. A small adjustable vice I picked up at the local hardware store. It is a godsend for decalling.

VonL Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Cool spy-plane. Does the Squadron White give you any cracking/shrinkage problems?
wedfactory Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Posted January 2, 2015 First coats of paint on each....
wedfactory Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Posted January 2, 2015 Cool spy-plane. Does the Squadron White give you any cracking/shrinkage problems? I have not had problems with the white. The Squadron green did give me shrinkage and cracking problem though. It was also harder to cover when painting, to dark a color.
wedfactory Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Posted January 3, 2015 Got the second coat on the enterprise, looks pretty much the same as above (so no pic) the U-2 got it's main color though...was playing with the paint technique to see if I can highlight the panel lines with out preshading.
wedfactory Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Posted January 4, 2015 All sludged up...Next step dull coat and weathering
ghodges Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Really like that multi-toned finish ya got going there! GIL
wedfactory Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Posted January 4, 2015 Humm, now what? the rear landing gear wheel well fell inside the model.
wedfactory Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 OK, fixed the rear wheel problem, and now she is just about done.
WildBill50 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Nice job, Warren. I have one of those with the Senior Span pod from cutting Edge. Yours looks great. It sure takes up alot of shelf space. I put the flow fences on the bottom of the stabilizers with plastic strip. Found out that they were on both sides of the stabilizers. I have to try rescribing some day. Bill
wedfactory Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 Dusted this kit back off and working on the cockpit and nose section (still)
wedfactory Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Posted January 15, 2015 Just starting this kit. This is for a group build on another forum. Plan to just build it OOB and not add and misc details to it.Simply painted the interior RLM 02. Will be dry enough to start gluing tomorrow night
wedfactory Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Posted January 15, 2015 I spent last night taking small flat pieces and making them in to smaller 3D pieces.The small light grey bottle was the center piece of the cut up missile in front of the turn table.
wedfactory Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Posted January 18, 2015 Was out of town for the weekend, got back to did a little work on the DO-24got the wings, most of the tail and part of the fuselage glued together. Now waiting on the future to dry on the windows as they have to be put in before I close up the fuselage. Also have to mask the turrets before then.
ghodges Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Very neat job! Looks like it was tedious too.....did you cut the tape ON the parts, or use another method? GIL
wedfactory Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Posted January 21, 2015 most of it was cut smaller than needed and overlapped to cover. then was trimmed where needed. yes it was tedious, 3 hours on what you see.
