Tomjw Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Fantastic work on the burner cans. Just one question. Why did you cut the glove box? Cheers, Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rom1 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hello, thank you guys! Why did you cut the glove box? Tom, i cut the wing gloves in order to do that: http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/bill_spidle2/b-1b_85-0080/ The upper panels are a bit raised, so we can guess all the plumbing under. And yes, I will have some more detailing to add in those areas. Bye! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Yikes! That's alot of putty work. The burner cans look splendid. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Excellent. Really excellent. I guess with all that puttying and sanding you won't have to worry too much about the panel lines. The B1-B skin is as smooth as a baby's... Cheers, Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rom1 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi thank you! Tom, the revell panel lines are waaaay to wide and deep... I tried to fill them with plastic dust generated by surface sanding.then I filled them with fluid glue. after, I will spray some primer coats in order to fill them again... See you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Romain, Like the pencil 'artwork ' on the exhausts. Great work.. And fast too. Just keep it coming. Edited December 16, 2014 by HOUSTON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 P38 car filler may be a good option on a kit of this scale, love that stuff, so easy to work with and doesn't shrink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelr32 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I oove this aircraft, the kit and the job you're doing!! I have one that pops out now and again. I have spent literally hours on those intakes and have made resin exhaust shrouds to replace the inaccurate kit parts. May I ask, what are your intentions as far as the trenches for panel lines are concerned on the upper fuselage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Wow. No other word for this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
