28ZComeback Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Russ nice nice job as usual. One question: was it difficult to open the engine bay? Did you consider sprucing it up? Best wishes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacificmustang Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 fantastic work Russ, love it. Can you give us a rundown on your photo setup. Is the sky a backdrop, or have you used a photoshop layer? Cheers Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do get a complete engine to go in the nacelles and the panels are separate. Glad you like it, Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bruce Cheers Bruce, I bought some wall posters off Amazon and glued them onto some cardboard, the `Concrete` base are come tiles I bought from B & Q bargain basket, sprayed with grey primer, sprinkled with sand and dirt and some water colour blobs here and there ( It`s all Troy Smith`s fault ) . Photo`s taken out side on the patio table when the weathers kind. Glad you like it.

Orion Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hello Russ, Another winner. Can you imagine the high standard of US Naval pilots to put this large aircraft on the deck of a carrier. Striking diorama. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjb Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 What a beauty! The model, the colour scheme, the finish I'm going to stop now. But that is excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goggsy Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Lovely work, I’m getting a headache just thinking about the amount of masking that must have required though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Goggsy, Thanks. No masking though, drawn on in pencil and coloured in with hairy stick. I do my modelling in the kitchen on the table so no spraying or airbrush on any of my efforts. Thanks again, Russ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
