Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Morning everyone … Was able to spray the black base tonight and tried out the new Tamiya Lacquers. Wow those are nice, the spray like water and dry smooth as butter. Going to let it cure for a couple days before I mask off the stab stripes and black edges to the yellow. Once its masked up going to hit up the Aluminum which is also Tamiya lacquer. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or add thoughts.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Morning everyone … Im mostly done on this though I messed up and forgot to mask the black stripes on the stabs before painting. I will need to spray those, touch up the black edges to the yellow in some spots, and spray the different metal on the lower fuselage. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or add thoughts. Dennis 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Good morning everyone … so we inch ever closer to a finish line on these. As seen in the photo of “Puny Pug”. There is what has been described as a field improvised bomb/strike camera housing on the port bomb pylon. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or add thoughts.

opus999 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 These are beautiful Dennis! The natural metal looks terrific. I missed out on this since, as you know, I've been away. I hope all is well with you. I love the inspiration for this build! What a clever idea. I'll follow along for the tail end of this if you don't mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) So while going through my info on these two planes I came across this photo. I forgot I had found it online about a year ago. But it turns out the Strike Camera is a K-25. https://aeroantique.com/products/camera-aircraft-type-k-25b-fairchild-with-case?variant=32283321226 Edited September 11, 2021 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmas Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 A bit late in the day (the story of my life lol) but I'd like to tag along for the remainder of this if I may. From what I've seen of it so far it looks like a terrific project. The natural metal finishes look lurvely. T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m probably worse at the moment I have 16 me109s let alone the rest of my wip. I’ll get back to them sooner or later but at the moment I’m focusing on my three Bristols and two high wing GB entries.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hello Everyone … Slowly I wade through my 16+ builds. I was finally able to get to these tonight and start decals. Though not visible in the photo’s I did commit one goof on the decals. I put the wrong decals on the wrong build. My fault for doing two identical builds except for one minute detail. Oh well I can add a strike camera to the other plane. There is no proof it didn't carry one. I will add some of the stencils in another session, this took enough time tonight. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or thoughts. Dennis 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
