Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone... Ok had to do some touchups on the decals today. Im not sure about the stars n bars as they are rather see through. And I don't have spares. Think I will just leave them as they are as they are original decals and thats what I would’ve used when I first built this. I touched up around the codes to help them show up a bit. Painted the instrument coaming, fuel caps, and the S/B no step area slipped while it was drying so I had to fill in around the decal. Weapons and Drop tank are done. I mocked up the landing gear and laid out the weapons under the wing. I placed the decals on the prop but forgot to photograph it. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts. Dennis Edited May 22, 2020 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 She is looking great Dennis. We've all had the issue with invasion stripes showing through decals, some of them are so thin that the white almost becomes invisible on a metallic background but then I suppose we would moan if they were much thicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Morning everyone... Well other than satin coat on this its pretty much done. And yes Ive already checked the prop turns quite freely in the engine. It will need to wait for a few days. We have company over and I cant gas them out by spraying right now. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts. Dennis 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz23 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Looking good Dennis, this model reminds me of my Dad's build he had in the loft years ago. Always sticks out because of the turtle and the fact he mainly builds 1/32nd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been trying to learn how to downsize images as Ive been asked to try so by a Mod. If you can can you check the size of these photo’s ? Ive been told to shoot for under 200 kb. Im just hoping to check if I'm getting closer with my experiments. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Just checked one of the pics above and it came in at 101kb, so if the others are like that then all should be good mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftScience Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Really nice job,.Dennis. What made you decide to close the canopy on the end? And was the build satisfying for your nostalgia, or did it kill some childhood memories? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posed it closed for the photo’s to show the clarity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Great result Dennis 👍 The old Monogram kit still looks the part when built like yours. Cheers Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hi Dennis - that's a great result. I know you have been trying out different picture sizes/settings and so on, however for me the build deserves bigger pictures - The Jug is a big old bird after all. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Monogram kit always makes me happy, they're what I built the most of until I was an adult. 9 hours ago, GREG DESTEC said: Great result Dennis 👍 The old Monogram kit still looks the part when built like yours.

Im just trying to learn my way with editing. So they will get better over time I hope. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
