Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) Hi Folks, I will throw this one into the ring. It has not graced the bench as long as some others but I would like to see it done. My deadline is a little closer as I am travelling for christmas on the 18th of Dec. I expect I won't get anything done in the week preceding with getting organised for the trip. Edited December 11, 2010 by TrojanThunder
AnonymousFO98 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 I would like to see that one done too! looks sweet
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 5, 2010 Author Posted December 5, 2010 Colourful beast isn't she Certainly is. I almost did some work on it today only to be side tracked by another slightly less colourful project. At least I was working on a model.
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 Fail again. With less than a week to my impending departure and other more pressing matters to attend to I won't get this finished. Good on all who do!
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 12, 2010 Author Posted December 12, 2010 OK! Well I managed to find some time to attack this build again. After managing to botch part of the paint work I had it put it aside for some time. I got back to it this weekend. Something I did not like was the thickness of the wing walkways so I remasked them and made them wider. I also resprayed some of the red areas that had suffered some wear and tear being moved around the bench. All that really needs doing is the tidy up some ejector pin marks on the gear doors and paint them up, finish painting the props, add some antennas and the decalling. I may get a littl more done this week but I make no promises Here are some more pictures with wheels and props temporarily attached. Boy I like the look of the P-3!
Basosz Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 That is very cool ! Absolutely adore the colours !
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 Thanks all, if I had not stuffed around with touch ups that went wrong months ago I would have had this one finished by now. I hope to be able to get a bit more done by Friday which will be the last day I can work on it before jumping on an A340-500 and heading east
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 Well since this GB goes into Feb (I thought it finished at the end of December!) I expect to get this one done So what is the actual end date? Is it the end of Feb????? Added some paint to the gear doors tonight. Need to mask up the props and get a clear coat on it ready for decalling.
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Well I finally got the mojo back and have been chipping away at a few models. The P-3 is now decalled and needs the antennas, some detail painting and weathering to be done. Migth even finish it for the deadline!
Julien Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Thats pretty sharp ray, what red have you used? Julien
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks Mish an Julien Thats pretty sharp ray, what red have you used?Julien The red is a testors colour (enamel) I don't think it is the right shade but it will do the trick for me. Someone over on the Firebombers forum suggested the correct shade which was a testors colour, either a GM or Ford engine red as I recall.
woody37 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Wow, looking excellent Ray, almost there, very imspiring.
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 Well I almost got it done.... I pulled the tape off the windscreen to find sanding residue inside. So it looks like the windscreen section may have to come out and get cleaned. Not happy The cloudy windscreen
AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Sorry to hear about the sanding residue but she's looking great
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Thnaks Mish, well I removed the glazing and am in the throws of refitting a replacement windscreen. I hope I have the attention span to get this one finished now.
