AngstROM Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I think...that could be the best heat-discolouration effect I've seen on a Hun model! Go on now, come clean: soldering iron or ciggy lighter?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 red stripe work, the Superscale decals didn´t fit because they are intended for the Monogram kit, Trumpeter decals didn´t work out either so my dad decided to paint them, therefore alos somerepainting in the engine area neccessary 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Lyttle Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 This plane looks the business, for sure. Only just found the thread and it was great to read through a good clean build, out of the box, no fuss! I did an old revel-esci kit (Thunderbird) with raised panel lines. Had to cut my own leading edges and flaps, but I really enjoyed it, and still like it! I really get the sense of enjoyment from your build too. Look forward to following it to the finish.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzyman69 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) For me as well as comfortable to use copper wire or nylon thread for landing gears hydraulic lines too, especially for any loop assembly. Some people make it with warmed till to thread stretched frame (from box) plastic. Edited March 18, 2017 by Ozzyman69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 That tail burning is very effective. Well done. I'm also impressed by the red striping which is so much better than a decal. Good to see a father and son team at work here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 tried out how it looks with a makro lense 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzyman69 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 At least that is satis. The hydraulic line of main landing gear made of flexible rubber hose. It provides to move the hyd line freely during external and internal cylinder operation and between each other. The torsion link (two halves: upper & lower) have to change dimension between axle and gland nut..and lower part of hose loop can also to change the location. I believe that this is the best form of hose loop configuration and well selected position in according to size of shock strut mirror. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Build was on-hold until today, hopefully now proceeding straight forward to finish. Wanted to do Pretty Penny, but besides that this latest Super Scale edition of these decals is still slightly oversized, my dad had a "wrap-up" accident with the decals, so we looked for a different scheme. At first looked at a Xtradecal sheet, but the dimensions weren´t right either. Finally chose another Super Scale sheet. Ordered it at Hannants but they accidentally shipped it to Australia instead of Austria. Luckily it arrived today. Gonna try to do once again a 481st TFS bird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 both nosearts of this sheet turned out oversized again (at least for the Trumpeter kit)...... for the Moment my dad put the model on ice, we gonna wait for the coming Caracal Models "Vietnam F-100 Part 2" sheet which will include only silver schemes (Part 1 are only SEA camo ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 After more than a year on the shelf of doom, the work continues. Yesterday the new Caracal decals arrived, "Pretty Penny" noseart still looks way too big for the Trumpeter kit. Gonna stay with the doggie above and use partly the Squadron decals and partly the Caracal ones. Had to minimize the doggie decals and have to shorten the "US Air Force" decals so that they fit more or less proper on the fuselage side. Gonna paint the green tail markings, the Squadron decals differed in size...
