wedfactory Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Posted May 21, 2015 Last look at the gun bay and engine before covering it all up
wedfactory Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Starting to look like an airplane... Edited May 22, 2015 by wedfactory
mustang1989 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Looks like it's all coming together nicely there Warren! Man doncha just hate covering all that detail up? How much of the engine is gonna be visible on the finished build?
wedfactory Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Posted May 24, 2015 Now have something resembling a plane....Had to strip the silver paint as it didn't stick to the model. Worst case of mold release contamination I have ever seen. Will have to wash it down before I repaint it. 1
mustang1989 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) It's almost got that weathered look on it as it sits. I figure you've already washed the parts down already once? Edited May 27, 2015 by mustang1989
wedfactory Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Posted May 27, 2015 Nope, not washed yet. That is this weekends project and get the base coat of paint on it. Also want to get the base coat of paint on my Star Destroyer this weekend. (see sci-fi section)
wedfactory Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 Washed and have the base coat now on. Did find a couple areas I need to puddy.
wedfactory Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 Started throwing paint tonight but ran out of RLM66, so had to stop throwing paint tonight as well...
mustang1989 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I always run out of that stuff!!!! It's either that or RLM 02. Doncha just hate it when that happens?
wedfactory Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 The paint short comings will be fixed Thursday at lunch.
wedfactory Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 Got the bottom of the shinden painted...
wedfactory Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 painted on the insignias and red lines this morning....
mustang1989 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 That's some terrific paint work! GIL Man I'll second that ! Wow!
wedfactory Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Posted July 3, 2015 She now has legs!Next is the prop and some fiddlely bits, then the build part will be done. After that a handful of decals, since I painted most of them on, and weathering.

ghodges Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Odd looking airplane. Very nice rendition of it! Congrats! GIL
wedfactory Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Posted July 12, 2015 Ok got back to work. Painted the engines, and painted and attached the fuel tanks as well as connecting the main fuselage framing.
wedfactory Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Posted July 12, 2015 The engines on this kit are mini-model unto themselves. This is the rear engine and I am still short about 15% of the parts!
