krow113 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) ...moving towards completion. Have had this on a number of forums and now BM for the big finish. Been done a number of ways , Comets , etc. My rendition is with Eduards Tempest, flaws and all. I did use the AC fuse 'correction' and extended the fuse as well as build time! Wheels up , at speed. A rare Teknics pilot gesturing offering has been used. The prop treatment is one I thought a lot about , researching the ways that have been done , there is little that is 'new' in model techniques , so I did the best I could. Any way here are the pix from the start: Flying bomb from this kit: Raw Teknics pilot: Main kit: A/M: Internet and Pbucket slow today but I'll try to get this up...

Thanks in advance. Thank you ,Ced. No link. My own way of doing it, from seeing how it has been done by many others. I added a few more pix to the prop posting. Scroll through them to see the progression. I cut the clear shapes on my vinyl cutter , laying them out in SignLab. I laid out several different widths as shown , choosing the smallest as I thought that looked the best. The clear shapes were carefully edge-sanded and attached to a rack for finishing. Airbrushed the black and yellow as I thought they looked best. Clear coated (dipped) at least 20 times with Future.

Gimme Shelter Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 What great work and good use of third party items you have going on there - I have enjoyed looking through your work. I like the idea od the wing-tipping of the V-1 - don't those doodle bugs look menacing..... I am not an expert on the selection of propeller spinning products on the market other than Propblur which I once used - I love the method you have used - it looks very authentic Good luck with the remainder of your build John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 This looks absolutely fantastic! Re your problems with Photobucket; stop using IE as browser. No problems encountered with Firefox. I shared your frustration until I read the advice here somewhere and made the switch. Regards, V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
