I managed some during the WE, though; basically, slowly adding details to the engine and firewall. Engine: I added some pipes and a vane from 0.3mm solder and plastic rod, to detail the cooling system This side, I added the filling pipe and cap, again from plastic rod The cowling mounting frames received a coat of decanted Tamiya Gloss Aluminium, by airbrush While I had it in the airbrush cup, I gave a blast to the supercharger intake, to check for blemishes A few dents, as expected, that I filled in with CA and sanded back; I then glued it to the engine (again with CA) The engine is now ready for a paint coat, the remaining details need to be added with the bearers in place. More details added to the firewall too: the top small reservoir was made from sprue gate (still needs adding a few bits), the cabling from 0.1mm copper wire, the two pipe plugs on the top with plastic tube Still a great deal to add here, but from now on it should be quicker, because it's all in areas clear of the engine. That's it for this update, all comments welcome Ciao 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VT Red Sox Fan Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Giorgio, While I really like the lines, I must say that for some reason I am very impressed with the connectors, I believe this will be a highlight under weathering.

Cuento con el motor y el firewall completamente detallados para ocultar la forma incorrecta del fuselaje; con todo en su lugar, una vista frontal completa solo debería mostrar el motor. Muchas gracias, Carlos. Me alegro de que te guste. ¿Quieres publicar una foto de tu modelo terminado? Ciao Hello friend, I have been disconnected for a while, but hey, here are the photos of the finished model and part of the painting process: I want to emphasize that after I painted it, I realized the error in the kit regarding the color of the LETTER "C" decal and the color reference of its nose, which, due to the coding system, does not It must be yellow but blue, so I had to repaint both the letter "C" and the nose of the plane, I have a few photos of these corrections published on Instagram at the following address: (I have not shown many photos of that fix due to possibly posting an article with this kit so I can't spread them much for now while they decide whether to post it or not): https://www.instagram.com/p/CKR_OM5l-nA/?hl=es-la 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Here's a quick update, as promised. But before, a couple of new toys tools (heck, I keep misspelling that word ) have arrived: Molotow Liquid Chrome Pen, 1 and 2mm point and a cordless minidrill, to complement my Dremel for small duties Back to the model: the engine received a Tamiya Flat Black coat, followed by a mix of Flat Black and German Grey, airbrushed from the top It doesn't really show from the above pic, but the idea was to start building some depth. I then removed the blue tack masking and airbrushed a protective Future coat Then I went on with four rounds of drybrushing, in this order: Lifecolor Dark Grey, Dark Gull Grey, Light Gull and Italeri Flat Steel. The detail painting was done with Lifecolor for the green and brown, a mix of Italeri Flat Steel and Gloss Brass and the Molotow pen. The radiator and oil cooler also received a black tempera wash, and so did the supercharger intake Some touch ups to do, then I was thinking of spraying on a light Tamiya Smoke coat, followed (or maybe preceded) by a flat clear coat. Only after that, I can add the cowling frames and the engine bearers, and complete the pipe work. Still lots to do All comments welcome, as usual Ciao 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pero antes, han llegado un par de nuevas herramientas de juguetes (diablos, sigo escribiendo mal esa palabra 😞 Bolígrafo Molotow Liquid Chrome, punta de 1 y 2 mm y un minitaladro inalámbrico, para complementar mi Dremel para pequeñas tareas Volviendo al modelo: el motor recibió una capa Tamiya Flat Black, seguida de una mezcla de Flat Black y German Grey, retocada desde la parte superior Realmente no se muestra en la imagen de arriba, pero la idea era comenzar a construir algo de profundidad. Luego quité la máscara de tachuela azul y apliqué con aerógrafo una capa protectora Future Luego continué con cuatro rondas de pincel seco, en este orden: Lifecolor Dark Grey, Dark Gull Grey, Light Gull e Italeri Flat Steel. La pintura de detalle se realizó con Lifecolor para el verde y el marrón, una mezcla de Italeri Flat Steel y Gloss Brass y el bolígrafo Molotow. El radiador y el enfriador de aceite también recibieron un lavado de temple negro, al igual que la admisión del supercargador. Algunos retoques para hacer, luego estaba pensando en rociar sobre una capa ligera de Tamiya Smoke, seguida (o tal vez precedida) por una capa transparente lisa. Solo después de eso, puedo agregar los bastidores de la capota y los soportes del motor, y completar el trabajo de las tuberías. Todavía hay mucho por hacer Todos los comentarios son bienvenidos, como siempre. Ciao simplemente... mis respetos... gran trabajo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
