Dandie Dinmont Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Top notch dirtying up, I’m astonished at how you can bring something so mundane (and presumably so small, even in 1/32) as that tarpaulin to life with just a bit of colour. Is that it sitting over the top of the gubbinses in the gunners cockpit by the way? Craig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 A small update, I started on the IP yesterday and on getting up this morning I got this. Still I have a plan. A little touch up to take out the red overpaint. I'll see how that settles but it should look OK in position. It'll need a flat coat and some Krystal Klear in the dial faces. The cockpit gun was given a Gun metal paint and a wash. The fuel tank was glued together and a little seam work done but as it'll never be seen again after the fuselage is closed up I'm not going overboard. Some green bits. And the last Cockpit internal part. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 All looks good from here Alistair. Yep, we paint and glue parts into builds that hardly get seen at all, but you know that they are there... Stay safe. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Another minor update. A matt coat to the IP and Krystal Klear in the dials. Fuel tank painted and bulkhead fitted. The rear frameworks fitted to fuselage. And a wee dry fit just to keep my mind focused. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
