Hockeyboy76 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 What’s yellow and sniffs? A banana with a cold. What do you do is you see a blue banana? Try to cheer it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cockpit and interior are being built as we speak, I'm not adding anything to the interior as 1; the paint scheme is the most important thing for me on this build and 2; you can't see a thing inside it with the doors closed up. Piccies to follow later, hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 11 hours ago, trickyrich said: can we have pictures? Your wish is my command! Right then here are some pics of the current state of play with my banana, no smart comments please! As you can see the main cockpit and cabin parts have been painted and fitted, the seats and controls still need to be fitted to the cockpit and I will add a couple of bits in the cockpit too such as a fire extinguisher. The rear cabin seats have been given a coat of red as they are visible through the cabin windows and whilst they are way too thick for the scale they are more than adequate when viewed from the outside. The interior colours of the H-21 are a bit of a pain as they seem to have come in every colour from light grey through to a mid green so I chose a colour (Halfords grey primer from a rattle can) which was easy to apply and fits some of the pics I have seen. A couple of the interior areas are zinc chromate and they have been painted accordingly and the bulkhead parts for these areas fitted too. One of these has a representation of the engine and whilst it isn't brilliant there isn't any point in going to town and detailing it as the picture below shows what will be visible. Thats right, bugger all! And thats with holding it and turning it to be able to see the most, which NOBODY will be doing with my finished model! Italeri do provide a small section of plastic mesh to cut up and fit to the interior of the upper fuselage where there is a very prominent section of the stuff on the real thing, I thought about replacing it with some actual wire mesh but thought I would give the Italeri stuff a go and am actually quite pleased with how it looks and it was certainly easy to cut into shape, here is a closer look; Now one thing that isn't good with this kit becomes obvious when you join the fuselage halves together, the panel lines don't match on the forward fuselage! So I will need to fill them on one side and rescribe some which actually match, not a terribly difficult job to do but one which shouldn't be necessary. So thats it for now, thanks for looking in and as usual all comments and criticisms are gratefully received. Craig. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Some nice work on your erm.... banana, I though bananas only had vertical seams. Horizontal ones are wrinkles in the skin Be careful when rescribing, you don’t want to slip and........ Looks like a few challenges ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 oh dear those lines are a wee bit off!! it's actually quite an appealing wee model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Cheers Rich, yes it is a nice model and apart from a few niggles like the panel lines is giving no issues at all so far. Since the last update I have finished the cockpit to which I added a scratchbuilt (slightly dodgy) fire extinguisher, by the looks of things H-21 pilots must have been especially bred to be able to reach all the controls whilst sitting that far away from them! In a new move for myself I have decided to paint the two halves before joining them together as it makes it a lot easier and saves masking the windows which I can pretty much guarantee I would knock inside whilst doing it. As the fuselage is polished Aluminium I have given it a coat of Vallejo black primer which will be glossed and polished to a nice sheen so that the metallic paint that goes on afterwards should hopefully have a nice shine to it, thats the plan anyway. The tail parts and doors have been given the same treatment. I need these to dry properly before I can start the polishing process so they won't get touched until tomorrow, gives me time to start masking that great goldfish bowl of a canopy! Thats it for today so as usual thanks for looking in and all comments and criticisms are gratefully received. Craig. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are filled in now and will be rescribed soon, or possibly when the fuselage halves are joined together. Off to spend the rest of the evening polishing my banana! 😉 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 that was a small task so what did you do for the rest of the night??? That's an interesting plan you have for painting, will you be masking off the panels around the joins and painting them later? If A is for apple, and B is for banana, then what is C for? Plastic explosives. What did the banana say to the vibrator? Why are you shaking? She's gonna eat me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats pretty much the plan, once I've got the windows installed I can mask off the entire centre section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
