pekka Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi Pekka, Great job on your J 29 so far. I've got one on my bench too and just started fitting parts and have come across something I was curious how you handled. On the nose gear bay insert, did you remove the two thin ridges along the side edges before installing it? On mine they cause gaps at the front and rear so I'm considering removing them. I hope that makes sense. Cheers, Eric Hi, yes I removed them! / Regards Pekka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pekka Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Finally time for some paint. I have started with a coat of Alclad grey primer. Next up is polishing with micro mesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekka Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 It's time for Alclad and then some masking. I started with white aluminium. For the first time I used Tamiyas masking tape for curves, highly recommended!! The different shades are hard to see. I also used dark aluminium, duraluminium and airframe aluminium. Since the fit of parts was so great, there were no problems using alclad over the seams. That´s it for now! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 great! the subtle nuances are for sure visible, maybe in natural sunlight the effect will be stronger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekka Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thank you exdraken, I think you´re right about the sunlight! Some more work done, first painting the small intakes on each side of the body. They were in some sort of glass fiber or plastic. After that it was time for a few coats of Johnsons polish. And as stated earlier, the different panels depends on the angle of the light. That´s it for now! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclarson Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Great job on the panel shading! May I ask what colour you painted the small fuselage scoops? I'm just getting the wings attached on mine. It sure is a brilliant little kit. Cheers, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclarson Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) .... May I ask what colour you painted the small fuselage scoops? Please disregard the color question...I just spotted the jar of Gunze H313 in your photos. Eric Edited February 18, 2016 by eclarson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekka Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Some more work done! Painted the dayglo-markings with Mr Color fluorescent red (Gunze white as a primer). Fitting the resin pilot in the cockpit. Decided to paint the yellow division markings on the nose. I made the masks from Tamiya tape. Making the masks for the nose. It turned out quite nice. Moving on with the rest of the decals. They settled down with very hot water followed by a few layers of Micro sol. Very nice in register. I have a few small stencils left... That´s all for now! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
