living legend Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 My DC-10 and 727 are going to require more time then this build has mostly due to work and my lameness... So hopefully this can be finished on time. Traditional pic: P1000233 by dart sloth, on Flickr Windows filled: P1000234 by dart sloth, on Flickr Smear of putty here and there: P1000235 by dart sloth, on Flickr Almost ready for decals: P1000236 by dart sloth, on Flickr Everything is going well, I should have this completed on time.

living legend Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 As I was finishing up the decals the inevitable happened, It fell from the counter and hit the floor. The fuselage craked frrom the nose across the bottom and up around the tail. P1000237 by dart sloth, on Flickr Im really bummed that I let this happen. I should recove this and still finish on time. The tail decal suffered the most damage cracking the decals. Its worse than it looks. P1000238 by dart sloth, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

living legend Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Just about back to where it was before it fell: P1000239 by dart sloth, on Flickr P1000240 by dart sloth, on Flickr Im not sure how to go about this repair. It was fared in nicely but some of the putty cracked away when the wings came off... P1000241 by dart sloth, on Flickr The other side is alot better looking. I managed to repair the tail, not great but considering how cracked the decal was, anway P1000242 by dart sloth, on Flickr I really should have stripped it all down, re filled and sanded it all again and then repainted it. It seems thats the way my builds have been going lately building each kit twice... Bah, sorry about the crappy tail pic, Ill take another shot later.

Kev1n Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 : Im not sure how to go about this repair. It was fared in nicely but some of the putty cracked away when the wings came off... try using very small amounts of white filler and even more carefully - and gently - sand the filler flush. then mask the filled.sanded line brush paint over the filler only, using thinned satin white paint, so you have a neat narrow line of paint On airbus aircraft the wing root fairing has a very obvious black seal running around it and the panel lines in front of the wing are equally obvious, including where the model cracked get some narrow black decal strip (Hannants sell it) and apply over these lines, including the one you repainted.
