Brewer Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Small update - the exhausts. Ultracast exhausts, sprayed with Tamiya Nato Black, then given a rust wash from Rustall, and grey drybrush with Vallejo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundown Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks! Haha someone asks about my stand in every one of my threads - it's from www.flightpose.com Another great looking model you've got there. Can I ask which size of flightpose stand you are using?Thanks, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks! I'm using the 4" FlightPose stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Moving right along now. Washed and flat coated, and now the exhaust staining. For the exhaust, I used a heavily diluted mix of Tamiya German Grey and Red Brown (90% isopropyl alcohol, 10% paint) followed by an equally thin mix of Tamiya Medium Sea Grey First the Grey/Red Brown mix: Then the Medium Sea Grey: And here it is unmasked and mocked up, won't be long now! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks! Haha someone asks about my stand in every one of my threads - it's from www.flightpose.com Their very nice stands pity the postage costs more than the stand, as that's very reasonably priced, and then there's the possability of HMRC hiking the costs up. Pity no one over here stocks them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks guys! Another small update since I haven't had much time to work this weekend. Here are the wheels and the 500-lb bomb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live_bait Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Nice wheels, very realistic. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestwulf Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Almost done with paint. Just some OD rectangles on either side of the tail for the tail codes and it will be ready for gloss for the rest of the markings in decals I'm not sure what the deal is, but every time I use MrColor lacquers the colors change over the course of a few days of curing. Dry to the touch immediately, but the color changes over time... odd I love the Gunze lacquers, bloody brilliant paints. I haven't noticed the change in color over time but I can understand that this could occur during the drying process. Put it down to color variation and effects of weather on the plane lol The P-40 is looking lovely mate, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Mac Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Only just caught up with this one, and CRIKEY!!! That is absolutely superb. That has got to be one of, if not THE best 1/48 warbird cockpits I've seen, and the rest of the build has just blown me away. Top job fella, now I'm watching.....

Brewer Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 You guys flatter me! It's 99% complete, next pics will be posted in Ready For Inspection. All that's left are the gunsight posts in front of the windscreen and the antenna wires. Pitot is not glued in yet, so it's sagging a bit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
