InFlames Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 hehe guys, patience! I'm curently working on two special MiG21s and they're both painted up and will be hopefully finished in a week or so... I started A-10 in the meantime and will continue full time on it when MiGs are finished... and I promise you, this A-10 will be something special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InFlames Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 little progress... Because I decided I'll build Capt. Kim Capmbell's mount, whose plane was beaten pretty heavly over Iraq, I'll have to improvise a bit and make battle damage on this model - first time trying to do that... first damage I'm trying to simulate is a torn vertical stabilizer which had its center leading edge torn away to the main wingspar... picture of the real thing (courtesy of Aircraft Resource Center): Progress: unmodified kit piece creating a new leading edge - I bended a piece of 0.3mm sheet styrene over the leading edge, squeezed with tweezers and hold that over candle for a couple of seconds, so the shet styrene softened and conformed to the leading edge... result then I had to cut out a piece of leading edge - a modellers saw and tamiya's scriber were of big help and here's the basic damaged stabilizer... more detailing will follow after painting... actually the photo doesn't really show how good it actually looks - I guess painting will show it up... to be continued...

InFlames Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 little update exhaust are pretty thick in the kit and need to be sanded from the inside... the left one is sanded while the right one is from the kit - it's hard not to notice the difference I've added some extra bits to the damage on the rear wings Hog got her wings. there were no problems with main ones, but the rear needed some Surfacer to fill the wing to fuselage joint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InFlames Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Mike thanks! I've seen a formation of two in flight here, some 12 years ago inbound an airshow, but that's it... some little progress - fuselage and engine got battle damage, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswoofie Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Looks good, nice work with the battle damage too! I've just started on one of these kits too. Seems quite a nice kit. I'm going for the older European 1 scheme though. Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
