kpc7676 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks guys, Have just sparyed the red aileron/rudder/ elavator tabs. Have sprayed the little patch behind the colwing that had some yellow overspray. Have also noticed that the prop has come ajar from the hub inside the spinner. Have added some glue in behind the prop and hoping it takes. If not, will have to have another go tomorrow. It has come off due to me continually pulling/pushing the prop on/off...another rookie mistake I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahunaminor Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It has come off due to me continually pulling/pushing the prop on/off...another rookie mistake I guess Well of course it does!!! Didn't you pay attention at all those "health" lectures going through recruit training??? The build is looking good there mate! Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpc7676 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Decals on. All are Tamiya OOB with the exception of the fuselage crosses and the Kagero white 2's and Apache head, both of which were super thin and went down with little fuss. Happy in the most part, with the exception of the wing walk lines, which Tamiya decide must stop at a point as they expect you to do a cannon equipped version and have the breech bulges on the wing top surface. I filled them in with some leftover dotted lines I had from an old Hasegawa sheet, look ok but are a different dash spacing. May represent in real life a different painted line as the aircraft may have previously had those fitted...maybe? Just waiting for the decals to set properly after a couple of attacks of Micro set and then it will be clear matt coated tonight in preparation for weathering and further assembly. And yes, I fixed the prop issue with some glue and perseverance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 That's looking pretty bloody good Kev, This one might even be better than the last TA-152. I look forward to seeing it at the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpc7676 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Undercarriage on, seat attached, cannon barrels attached, weathering done with pastels and silver pencil, only the canopy and a few little tidbits to go. Should have her done by the end of the weekend, or if not, early next week. Very happy with the look of her, up there with one of my best at this late stage, let's see if I can keep it looking as fine in the closing stages. And sorry for the pics, taken on new Iphone.
