But, for such a splendid build, I would dab a bit of putty on the top front turret mount, and brush some thinned paint. Shouldn't take you long at all. Had a bit of fun with mine too! 7 minutes ago, CMSCHLOM said: What???...that is the coolest model I've ever seen, such a great tribute to James Allen Ward, I'm just so impressed. And yeah I split that joint when I pushed the turret in, but I've moved on to be honest, I'm an express modeller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scanlan Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 6 hours ago, Dave Swindell said: That's the fabric ballooning between the ribs due to the lower upper surface pressure whilst in flight. The effect disappears completely on the ground. Unless you're closer than a couple of feet to the real thing you can't see any ribs in the fabric surface. The Airfix kit effect is refined but overstated, the Trumpeter kit effect is a grossly overscale caricature. I did not know that, such a cool fact, I will keep that in mind on my next one, thanks, Owen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetasker Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Interesting technique - I'll have to give that a go. Nicely modelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 That's an interesting approach, particularly on fabric surfaces. Very smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesworth Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 That's a gorgeous finish, no matter how you slice it. Mistake? Meh! You have captured the unique construction brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
