smuts Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 Hi guys, built up the pit floor & fitted the cannons used Modelmaster gun metal & Alclad steel for those, then added Eduard Nakajima belts to the seats... both sidewalls box's picked out in modelmaster cockpit black... radio gear rear bulkhead.. started on the radial while the WEM enamels were drying sprayed the engine Alclad steel & Tamiya chrome enamel... cowl fitted & prop on, sprayed with Gunz Japanese propeller colour lacquer... just starting to pick out the details now. What was the Staffs show like? Hi recommend it to all a great show well run & organised never would have thought it was their first great bunch of guys & girls. BTW IJN IP panels were they dk green or black?. Ta Andy.
daz greenwood Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Looking good Andy. Look at the size of those cannon.
smuts Posted July 11, 2010 Author Posted July 11, 2010 Hi guys, a bit more progress sidewalls fitted & details picked out added some scratches/scuffs with Tamiya chrome silver.. fuse halves together & wings stabs fitted.. quit a bit of filler needed on the wings (me?) so a few panels will need a re scribe.. Andy.
David H Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Nice choice of subject, Andy! The Myrt was sort of the U-2 of its time. It gave Corsair and Hellcat pilots fits trying to intercept it. Cheers, david
