ajcm Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 This is the model recently arrived home. This is a Hasegawa model on 1/32. The model. The trees and how normal all in one bag. Transparencies. The decals. Mask and PE. I already started building the model but I still have no photos. Regards ajcmac 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcm Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 I started by gluing the wings and fuselage. I painted the interiors. I put the mask on the transparencies and painted the color of the interior. And that's enough for now. Regards ajcmac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcm Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 I painted the propeller hub with the Tamiya XF-70, the propeller with the XF-64 and then the yellow stripe. I then applied lights with the XF-64 mixed with yellow on the leading edge and black at the base of the blades. Then I applied Alclad clear gloss. I glued the back of the fuselage.

ajcm Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 To make it disappear the fuselage union line I used putty. It did not work. I then used cyan glue. I'll paint to see how it looks. I prepared the landing gear and the doors for the painting. The instrument panel already painted. Regards ajcmac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcm Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 And to the third it seems that the phantom line seems to have disappeared. The propeller is finished. Landing trains and doors, painted. Follow the wheels. Regards ajcmac 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcm Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 I had problems with my airbrush. As I did not know if it was the needle, nozzle or air cap I bought the complete set. I started to weathering the cockpit. I applied lights and shadows. I painted the small details. Now a layer of gloss coat and start placing the decals.

Biggles87 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Great cockpit, and as CC says, you're very fast. I built the Hasegawa 1/48 version some years ago and enjoyed it, if this one is scaled up from that it should be fun to build. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm a teacher but I'm retired and I spend many hours on the bench. Apart from the time I have with my grandchildren, I take almost all the free time to dedicate myself to the models. I finished the propeller. I glued both pieces to the wings. As I already knew it would not be easy instead of putty I used cyan glue. I think I solved the problem the easy way. Then I had to redo a few lines. And then I glued my wings to the fuselage. Almost everything ready to start painting. Regards ajcmac 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hello mac, You're a Lucky man, retired !! all the free time at the bench !! A dream for me ! And SWMBO did'nt curse you each and every times you get your hands on a model ??? Sorry for my imperfect English ! Now I know that you're a teacher, I feel afraid !! Whatever do not hesitate to correct my mistakes, it's a good way for Learning ! Thank you ! Can't wait to see her finished, especially the weathering (Heavy with these bad japanese paint at that time ) Have a nice modelling time ! Sincerely.

Biggles87 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 It does look like an upscale of the 1/48 version with well engineered parts and good fit, and you're doing a great job. cheers John PS. For CC, I had the same expectation of retirement as you and now I actually spend less time at the bench than when I worked, but we do now have a couple of horses to look after in addition to three dogs.

I do not know the model in 1/48. I know it is already the third Japanese model that I build and I liked them a lot. On 08/11/2017 at 7:25 PM, Gav G said: Is that XF-71 in the cockpit? A not-yet-retired primary teacher here, what did you teach? Yes. I used the Tamiya XF-71.I taught students from six to nine. Primary school.

Well, I used the Tamiya X-18 as the base color. I've done a lot of testing and it looks like it works. I will paint the model with Alclad Alc-101 Aluminum. Shipping will be done with maskol applied with a sponge. I hope it works as it is the first time I do. The use of cyan glue worked.

ajcm Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Painting the model with the X-18 was a mistake. Although it worked in the experiment I did on a wing used for testing on the model did not work. Fortunately the applied layers were very thin and did not cover the details.I painted the model again but this time with the X-1 (black gloss) and for now it worked. The cowling of the engine already with Alclad aluminum. Let's see how it goes out in the fuselage. Regards ajcmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcm Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Walking slowly because I lack some material. Maskol to be able to do the shipping and the new set of 2 m / m for the airbrush.I applied, in some panels, White Aluminum, from Alclad. The engine also almost ready missing some weathering.

On 21/11/2017 at 9:23 PM, Gav G said: It's nice to see an update Lack of material to be able to advance but it has already arrived.The Maskol and the 2m / m set for the airbrush. I used the engine cover to test. If it did not come out, I wanted it easier to remove the paint without damaging anything.I applied the maskol and painted. Then I applied lights and shadows and took out the maskol. Regards ajcmac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcm Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 After applying the maskol, I painted the green. I applied the lights and shadows and removed the maskol with the aid of masking tape. I thought I might have gone further but the fear of overdoing it ...

ajcm Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 And finally I decided and painted the Hinomaru (I suppose that's what they call themselves and what's written). Following is Alclad clear gloss. Regards ajcmac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painting the Hinomarus was a risk I did not like but it did not look bad after all. And after having applied the gloss clear and started to apply the decals appeared these red lines to put on the wings (decals 27 and 28). Done.

bruce bay Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I am abroad for a while - and away from my modelling... and seeing the prop alone is making me itch to get back to making kits! Really beautiful finishes on all of it. Can't wait to see the finished thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
