PC2012 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi Tom, glad you like it! I used Tamiya fine white primer as a base. Then Alclad exhaust manifold, followed with highlights of Alclad chrome. Then several washes of AK engine grime and lastly some pencil lead on the rear edge and then buffed it with a cloth. Hope that helps? I'm busy sanding the fuselage at the moment, should have another update soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC2012 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi LT - that's a surprise. Where are you? I wouldn't call this 'jaw dropping' just trying not to mess it up as usual. I'm still not happy with the exhaust, so going to work a bit more on that. Just building the fuselage and wings, filling and sanding at the moment. I can post some pics tonight. The kit is nice but very badly engineered. I will have to so some re-scribing and riveting. Having said that it should look okay. I still think it's a lovely looking aircraft. LT - PM me, let me know what you're up to. Tony - yeah, I don't enjoy sanding either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC2012 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hi everyone, I took a few pics last night. As you can see it's starting to take shape. I've filled most of the gaps, so will see how it looks after it's been sanded. The centre join was the worst, not a great fit between the front and rear fuselage. I'm going to tone down the exhaust and add some silver to the rear edge - then add the rivets (or holes) to the metal band at the rear. Still don't know it I will have the air brakes open or closed. Anyway - hope you like 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
