David M. Knights Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 I want to do one of those. I keep hoping that someone will do a new kit in 72nd scale. Looking forward to seeing this one.
ralph4hand Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Bill, Absolutely love your Build;-in-Progress photos Keep em' coming... Happy Thanksgiving and TAKE CARE
Mark Deliduka Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 Ah, the memories that box brings back, as well as that dark green plastic! That was my third model I ever built and I still have it! Looks fantastic; keep those pics coming and Happy Thanksgiving.
wdedig Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Posted November 24, 2011 A few updates: Japanese tape consumption Some Bits. Used Baremetal Foil around the prop bases Now waiting a few days for the Gunze RLM 70 to cure before futuring...2-3 days I hope will be enough. Comments always welcome Bill
David M. Knights Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 Looks even better. Did you mask the canopy with tape or buy a precut mask? Whose paints are you using?
ghodges Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 That cockpit is astounding! That's going to be head and shoulders above a lot of models, and with a vintage kit too! Lookin' great! GIL
wdedig Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Posted November 25, 2011 Looks even better. Did you mask the canopy with tape or buy a precut mask? Whose paints are you using? Thanks Guys The Canopy and lower clear parts are masked with Bare Metal foil hand cut on canopy,raised panels were very helpful. Monogram canopy was very clear. I used Testor acrylics for RLM 65 and RLM 71, and I used Gunze for RLM 70. Waiting a few days for the Paints to cure before futuring. Thanks for Comments Bill
wdedig Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Posted December 12, 2011 She is complete I accomplished some Pastel dusting tonight but did not Photo Yet. Comments always welcome Bill
David M. Knights Posted December 12, 2011 Report Posted December 12, 2011 I was hoping to see this one finished. That is beautiful. A great job with an older kit.
ghodges Posted December 12, 2011 Report Posted December 12, 2011 Absolutely Gorgeous (with a capital G)! GIL
