Repainted

Lars,

I was in Hendon today and remembered you needed info on the Cowl fasteners. Here they are my friend.

Good luck.

Hi

Is there anyone who can explain how the linkage to the cowlingflaps is operated and how the linkage look like? I’m in for the opening flaps for the engine and can’t find any sharp pics of these details.

Cheers

Hi folks

I’m back to the hobby bench again. Last week I’ll had to much to do, so never got that time for the model, but this week I will

.I have got the seat belts in place (used Eduards US set 32 506) and going to add some cables in the back of the instrument panel.

I used Mike Grants instrument decal for WW2 aircraft on the panel. Last thing is to paint the sight and give the interior a satin finish with the airbrush.

Later this week I’ll get the fuselage halves together with some glue, then is the downhill race to the paintboth.

For this time

Cheers

Hi

Time to glue the big peices :analintruder:

But first the small ones :angrysoapbox.sml:

Going to show of just one of the gunbays, so I just painted up one side. there will be some wires added to the guns before painting the final bits.

The wheel bays is just painted, no extars here. trumpeter got it clean and bnice so I´ll just leave it with that.

Now for the promised big parts to glued.

there is some gaps between the wing and the fuselage, so I´ll using Milliput for this filling.The best thing with Milliput is that you can sculpt it before it´s complete dry.That will give me less filler to sand :speak_cool:

Now it´s time to order some Alclad´s for this one, so let the fun begin

Hi Ian and all others

Here is the update on the build. For the moment I’m preparing the machine for the paint. So there are a lot of imperfections to correct I think I’m done more then Trumpeter. After gluing all he big parts together and sanding down the edges around the fuselage I also sanded away a whole bunch of rivets, so there was a bunch to recreate with a needle one by one.

When I’m glued the lids for the armament in the wing I was not that precise in gluing in a spacer so the lid came in line with the wing, so I´ve just had to cut them all up again and redo the job. As a nice treat that’s giving me more imperfections to fix up. So if you build this one after me be sure that you use a 10 mil plasticard to get the right level for the panels

The panels will be fixed with some Milliput and rescribed with an Olfablade.

The cowling for is a little to short, so it’s have to be lengthen with a bit of plasticard. Also the inside duct under the engine has to be shortened just a little. No big deal but these things take some time to sand and fit, sand, refit.

So hopefully I can load the airbrush next week with the first coat of paint in the search for the new imperfections I´ve missed this time, and if not then I can start the Alcladjob.

The Razorback got its first coat of paint. Here are some pics from the paintshop. The Rback got its first coat of paint. I’ll used Humbrol gloss grey 7 as primer. This will be the basecolour for the finishing Alclad when it’s time for that. I’ll going to mix some different shades of this grey to get some extra fancy tones of the Alclad, you’ll see

I´ve just spotted some minor jobs to refill in the seam on the belly and a nasty superglue mess on one of the flaps, so that’s going to be corrected before a second coat of the same grey.

Hi Juglovers

I used up one bottle of Alclad today and still got areas to cover. Huh, never used that much of Alclad before. I was surprised to find the way it just vanished from the jar. Okay next step will be to cover the rest who needs the aluminium, the there will be shadings in the darker tones of aluminium.

I did the upper D-day stripes before painting the aluminium, the effect I was trying to achieve was that washed/etched look that will be in the metal. Hm don´t know if it turned out that way I hopped for so there’s going to be more work on this.

Now the Jug is a shiny beast to take pics of, the camera went total mad on this :speak_cool:

Love the idea of the washed-out invasion stripes, if it doesn't work-out, you could lightly overspray them with OD... a number of units (especially in the 9th AF) did this.
