Nice work, especially on that tricky canopy, 🙌 Johnny Thanks Johnny the vacform canopy isn't as tricky as the kit one, but still it's no piece of cake ... A small update for tonight: exhausts glued in Then a bit of detail painting, to wit the nav and position lights Next one also shows a very restrained staining around the APU exhausts, made by drybrushing some flat black That's it for the day, all comments welcome. I'll be off skiing for a couple of days, so probably no updates next WE Ciao 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Hi everybody; sorry for the lack of updates, but as I mentioned, last WE I was off on a skiing tour, here (Val Gardena) Back to the bench during this WE, so here's a progress report. I did fix port wingtip light Glued the rudder in position Unmasked the cockpit and windshield, to see if everything was still there Then I glued in the intake flaps, too and started working on the struts, detailing them with some 0.1mm black copper wire from ModellingTools. Great stuff, it bonds perfectly with CA. They received a flat black base coat, followed by the usual off-white, some detail painting and a black tempera wash In place The landing lights got painted too: back side with silver Then a black coat, dark grey drybrush and glued in place I also started working on the nose sensors, and guess what: one pinged off my tweezers at light speed, never to be seen again. So I had to scratch build one from brass pipe and styrene sheet Hopefully it won't look too bad once painted Last thing for the night: I glued in the flaperons There are some glue marks on both inboard flaperons, due to me being clumsy and all - I'll sort them once they are properly cured She's definitely not a tail sitter That's it for the day, all comments welcome Ciao Edited January 26, 2020 by giemme 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
