Seversky Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Superb scribing! Can't wait to see this transformed into natural metal. Cheers, Bill Me too!!! ))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Great job Igor, the riveting has come out rather well and the priming looks silky smooth as it'll need to be, like others I'm looking forward to that final metal finish, it'll be fun ! I've also had one of these in the stash for many, many years and only got as far as re scribing it before other things like 'life' got in the way of any further progress, even got the Paul Fisher correction set for it too.....keep at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4u Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Nice work Igor as everyone else has said the scribing and rivet detail looks great should look even better when you put the metal paint down. Look forward to more progress. Guy Edited March 31, 2016 by F4u 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seversky Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Thanks guys! Progress with metal finish will be soon, because I have to be in time at a show in Kiev (may 27-29)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronan71 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 More superb work! The rescribing in particular is excellent, I think when I build my B-58 I may have to live with the raised panel lines as I don't think I could get them anyway as neat as your lines! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Love what you've done with this. The engraving and riveting is top drawer, gear and wheel wells detailing equally so, and the vent and window improvements are those things that really set your build apart. This is the best one I've seen so far from this kit. Definitely. Al Edited April 11, 2016 by Alan P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air-to-Air Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 That's looking very nice. Good work on the heat staining behind the engines, thanks for sharing your approach, that will come in handy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Igor, I love what you are doing to simulate the exhaust pattern on the wing undersides. Never before have i seen somebody attempt that. I think you are doing as good a job as anyone could ask in replicating the skin on a B-58. Many if not all of the honeycomb panels were held in with screws, and then soft aluminium plugs were press-fit in over the holes, and maybe even sanded or ground down flush. I'm sure that had to be a HUGE reason for the high maintenance hour to flight hour ratio, as well as the high price tag. I haven't seen any aircraft manufacturer adopt that technique since. Anyway, its a hard finish to replicate because they sort of look like rivets but they're not exactly the same thing. david Edited April 13, 2016 by David H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Is a translucent aluminium colour gonna go over the nacelles to tone down the contrast between skin panels somewhat?? Just curious. -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Late catching up with this but just to say smashing work on this aircraft. This really sets a standard for the rest of us to aspire to. The details and weathering on the cat are also good. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
