TAKOM 1/35 M46 Patton - Korean Tiger

Olive drab on .... Modulation on very front/rear only as rest will go yellow at some point..... Probably a base of yellow/brown with yellow highlights (son not in your face yellow) -

Body work coming together ... Will paint the engine but it will be under the bonnet so only the bottom will be seen.... -

Nice detail so far. Not sure how much of the engine will be visible, guess green with black pipes.... -
I moved the drive wheels about 1mm rearwards.... It works.....
-
I agree, some come.with adjustable idler wheels.which makes sense,.but if they don't then you would hope they would get the tracks right..... It's more the issue of link and length.... Indi link if you have enough you can at least add an extra one....

Fujimi 1/72 Vought F7U-3P Cutlass
robw_uk replied to robw_uk's topic in Reconnaissance and Scouting GB
Yeo I can confirm planes are no longer my thing.... But it's slowly getting there, just a few small parts then it's time for painting -
Bit of surgery and the tracks are on.... Next up touch up some grey and a touch of mud on the tracks and it is done....

M4 High Speed Tractor ++Finished++
robw_uk replied to Jb65rams's topic in TLC - Transports, Loaders and Carriers
Nice start. Built this kit a few years ago, tracks were a pain but the rest went together well -
thanks Roger... the tracks are about 3mm too short (the idler wheel(?) isn't adjustable so will have to work out how to minimize the gap - think gluing tracks to wheels then applying tension ... but feeling more confident with whitewash and slowly getting there with weathering...
-
Wheels on, panel lines done, mud on.... Just the tracks to persuade in to place tomorrow and the it will be done.....

thanks... similar colours to what I thought to use - used retarder in the green which did make a difference, will do the same when I do the face an dthe brown on the hoster and hat -

No spray time the last few weeks but did get time to do some work on the figure.... White dry brushing and then thin coats of colour, am fairly happy with him actually, no doubt the face will ruin it.... -
Fujimi 1/72 Vought F7U-3P Cutlass
robw_uk replied to robw_uk's topic in Reconnaissance and Scouting GB
Now I remember why I am.not a big fan of aircraft, pesky seam lines..... But body all together, bit of extra nose weight added...... -
did you get this one finished? tempted by it, sort of put off by the rubber band tracks in the kit but thinking what if the prototype the russians captured was put in to their service... 4BO, big red stairs and red russian slogan.... think it would look immense
-
Very very nice. Am just building the same kit.... Can you remember if you added any weight to the nose?

Fujimi 1/72 Vought F7U-3P Cutlass
robw_uk replied to robw_uk's topic in Reconnaissance and Scouting GB
the key has the weight symbol but can't see it in the instructions - will add some... the PR nose IS longer yes BUT it has clear parts and the cameras in it so space is limited. I can get some right in the nose but the rest will have to go over the front wheel well.... just need to find my lead figures that I used to use for weights... -
Fujimi 1/72 Vought F7U-3P Cutlass
robw_uk replied to robw_uk's topic in Reconnaissance and Scouting GB
Some quick progress... Nice little cockpit with panel decals.... And the engine intakes started in the wings..don't know if this needs nose weight, no mention in the instructions but I know othe builds do, so will leave the nose off for now.... -
With washable white.... Next up will be some panel lines ....

robw_uk replied to robw_uk's topic in Reconnaissance and Scouting GB
thanks. not built a plane for many years, and never tried natural metal, lets see how well I do, perhaps I will get another plane if I enjoy it -
Started whitewash work. Not a great deal of contrast between dunkelgelb and white (with a touch of buff) but I will increase that when I start with some washable white.... So far so good

A lot of priming but it had gone black.... Going to be a while until I move on to OD
