giemme Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 How about some modelling, guys? Gunsight completed, after some dry brush (White for the bracket, Dark Gull Grey for the main body and Sand Yellow for the cushion, all Lifecolor) and a flat clear coat The reflector glasses were glued in, as you can see, and top coated with Aqua Gloss (by brush) This thing is not easy to photograph ... Seat belts; as anticipated, made from wine bottle foil and copper wire and glued in place That's it for tonight's work. Any comments welcome Ciao 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get going, then! Here's WE progress report: I added some cabling to the cockpit sidewall, using copper wire Then I sprayed Tamiya Flat black on some bits and Tamiya Aluminium (decanted from the rattle can and then airbrushed) on some other bits The main part of the tub needed a black base coat too, so I masked the part that will remain NMF and sprayed accordingly The same for the sidewalls and the part goes behind the seat bulkhead I then airbrushed Lifecolor Giallo Mimetico thinned with IPA. The black base coat gives a good depth already (partially killed by the protective gloss coat I already sprayed, but that's OK at this stage) I assembled what looks like a reinforcing structure for the back part of the cockpit/canopy and glued it to this I think I'm ready for some detail painting and weathering of the cockpit! That's it for tonight, comments welcome Ciao 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The Six Nations rugby union tournament. Unfortunately the Italians are very much the underdogs, they try very hard but do not have much success. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
