philp

Nice job Ced. Doing a kit in the wrong scale and with gear down, you must really like whomever put you up to this. I think it will look great in the museum. Who knows, maybe one day I will get back across the pond and can see it in person.

Ced, I have heard several builders say they gloss coat over the decals and then flat coat after that dries. I have not had that problem since I switched to Tamiya flat coats. Getting there.

Now you are cruising.

Lovely seatbelts Ced but didn't you say you were putting the figure in? Or did that plan change and I missed it?

For the cowling there are (or maybe were) decals for it from Aeromaster, 48-538 “Best Sellers, P-47 Thunderbolts, Pt. I There is a build using them on HyperScale. http://hsfeatures.com/p47dbubtb_1.htm Have fun with this wrong scale build.

My condolences also Ced. My Dad passed away on Monday, age 90. I have to fly out to Delaware to take care of his apartment and paperwork. I might need to reread his book. Superfreighter looks great. Definitely need to do a base for it. A nice simple tarmac should work fine.

Yay, pink :-). I did a little experiment a few years ago starting with a grey primer and then... I am also going to try it under orange as I have an X-1 and a Bond Bug to paint. Oh, and a Tijuana Taxi.

Looking good Bill. I do prefer yellow over pink, seems to make it a bit brighter. Never tested over tan before.

I did measure from ground up.

Bottom struct at 90 degrees, top at 87. I just happened to have my clear protractor on hand 🙂

Nice job. I got to see Pinocchio back in the 70's when it visited Malmstrom AFB for Big Sky Day. Always been tempted to try and make one.

You are doing a quick job on this beast Ced. Love watching the progress.

Hi Pat, I love the build. Any idea which Aeroclub propeller set you used? I know they would be long out of production but I have a What If build for the Skyvan and the image I am using shows a 4 bladed bird. Any help greatly appreciated.

Heather, Adding my condolences to the rest of the crowd's.

It was nice seeing this in person at the meeting this month. I did always love this scheme.
