Reini78 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 My dad´s next project, one of two Texans. Gonna use the Revell Germany boxing of the good old Monogram kit which was first released in 1979. Decals come from FCM DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 change of plan...the camouflaged Brazilian Texans all had two bomb racks and a special rocket rack for three rockets didn´t find any good close-up pics or drawings to locate the exact position and shape of the racks for scratchbuilding, besides that there was a bulge under the wing gun, didn´t find any suitable piece to replicate that therefore the model will receive an Uruguayan scheme, using Armyast decals DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wlad Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 @Reini78, As with my comment on the Brazilian T-6, the Uruguayan ones may not have the formation lights under the fuselage, especially if they were either manufactured in Brazil or purchased from the FAB. Cheers, Wlad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 some primer for the fuselage used one from MRP, seems MRP changed the formula for their primers, they come in different bottles now and have a different consistency, tend to clog the airbrush very often DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 any idea what the bulge on the belly right after the wings could be? some kind of antenna, or a fat a$$ formation/position light? 372 is the only FAU Texan that had such a big bulge https://airpressman.com/the-day-the-texan-ii-visited-uruguay/ https://www.todocoleccion.net/militaria-libros-literatura/el-north-american-at-6-snj-texan-aeronautica-militar-fuerza-aerea-uruguaya~x22636340 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 the cowl numbers were way too large, more for 1/32 could mostly remove them with a masking tape, a bit sanding and repainting was necessary found a suiting replacement with a RAF code letters/numers decal sheet from Fantasy Printshop DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
