Kev1n Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 thank you. Hopefully the wings and aerials will give it that little extra something it still needs
kev67 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Give credit where credits due, this is very good indeed, you are tempting me to try this foil stuff
Graham77 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Kev67 took the words out my mouth this looks excellent, I tried painting a metal finish and was really happy with how it came out but yours looks that extra bit special so may also be tempted to try this on another bare metal airliner. Good luck with finishing her off in time at the rate you've been going shouldn't be a problem for you. Cheers Graham Like others have said would be very interested in a "how to" aswell.
fidgeh Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Like others have said would be very interested in a "how to" aswell. So would I - it looks great.
Kev1n Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 hmmm....ok then - I'll get the model done tonight and tomorrow (tonight hopefully) and give some thought to the BMF thingy.... I'll have a look in the tips n tricks forum first to see if anybody else has done something similar
Kev1n Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 Thank you for flying American Airlines..... I'd like to add some extra detail to the engine behind the cylinders but not being a Dak expert I have no idea what goes there - anybody got any pics I can look at? Otherwise - it's done by the way...... Just as an example of one of the issues that all minicraft kits have is the way they over-attach things to the sprue....this is 1/144 scale remember, so the props are small. And fragile.....still - I managed ok and didnt break any.....but it's a really reaLLY dumb way of attaching such small parts to a sprue....imho obvo oh, and the decals for the trailing edges of the wings and fin didnt fit particularly well either, so I'll probably need to to a bit of extra work on them. But...it IS a minicraft kit.... more pics in the completed builds gallery
AndyC Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Reet petite! Very nice indeed Kev1n - great speed build Andy
It'sAllGoneHorriblyWrong Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Excellent result and a great foiling job - I think I might have to have a go. Andy
rowmk9 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Fantastic work Kevin, I am very impressed with both the speed and quality of this build. Top work!
Kev1n Posted November 28, 2011 Author Posted November 28, 2011 it could be a little tidier here and there so I guess I'll do some remedial work at some point but thanks for the kind comments as for the speed, fortunately there weren't any big issues to hold it up, which helps
