phantom61 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 first question/problem... the nose... 🤔   incredible how trumpeter wrong that in 72 and done that in 144 correctly  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom61 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 the first step was to separate the parts that made up the nose of the plane ... Â Â including the radome below ... Â create vertical and horizontal frames from scale drawing 1/72 Â Â Â and with the help of Tamiya two-component filler, recreate the correct shape.

phantom61 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 the result of the correction is this:    I added another two-component putty  to complete the scratch  we're almost there   the transparency profile remains to be changed 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Spot on now!  What kind of tools have you been using to reshape that nose?  Also, the canopy looks very different from the tech drawing; are you going carve a master out and plounge mold a new one?  Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from the old school😂 two possibilities... those of black and then finish color or first the black, a pair of hands of Mr. surface with airbrush and then background color ... meanwhile ... enjoy the first test of vacuform   ciao Silvano 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantom61 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hi Folks, let's move to the wings ... from the drawings, the changes had to be more extensive, I limited myself to correct obvious errors...  like the aileron, ( short ) and to open the Flaps ( inboard and OUTboard )      Cheers...
