MicTroy23 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Good afternoon to all visitors! I present to your attention, a model of one of the well-known pilots of the Great Patriotic War (16 GAIAP, August-September, 1944, the machine of G.A. Rechkalov) (ISBN 42547). The set has not shown any special problems at assembly, the docking is good. Puttying, sanding and trimming, minimum. Refinements: a little cabin interior, antenna, air intake, spigots, cannon and all machine guns. Paint and varnish by brush. Paints: GIS Mr.Color urethane-acrylic, PC88 and Tamiya acrylic, Tamiya varnish, +plain pencil. Enjoy the view! 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Excellent work! It certainly racked up a lot of missions (if that's what all the stars mean), but looks like it was well maintained throughout. Well done on a fine build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie Psmith, Thank you! 0.10mm monofilament beading antenna cable. But, I haven't used such thread for a long time. It reacts very much to weather changes in temperature and humidity. Now I use spandex rubber. I use a scalpel to split it into fibres of the right thickness. I make antenna ropes and struts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tighten it with a hot object held near by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
