Color pics For a Model I'm Building

[Airframes]

Hmm. I wonder if he wanted colour pics of invisible aircraft? I wonder what colour they were.........

I have heard that there was many unfortunate accidents aboard the Empirors ´cause crew members often forgot open the entrance belly door.

I heard it was from the wicked torque with all 8 of the props turning the same direction!!!!

 

[Njaco]

Eight!!! I only counted five. Wait................

Heard one go by tonight.....sounded like 5 but I can;'t be sure...

 

[Njaco]

Hey, found a manual for the Emperor on E-Bay!

 

[hawkeye2an]

WOW !!! That'll come in handy when I build my 1/12 scale model.

 

[B-17engineer]

Must've taken a bit of searching!!

Terry here's some closure..

Here's a shot of my Emperor, canopy is masked and it's ready for the first coat of invisible paint. This is the Monosmerhawkfix 1/12 scale Mk IV and as you can see, I backdated it to a Mk I using the Koster conversion kit and a set of Eduard flaps. Didn't spring for the full Eduard interior as you can't see much of it anyway. I'll post some updates as work progresses.

Does the masking disappear when you spray on the invisible paint? If so, why bother masking?

 

[hawkeye2an]

You mean I wasted my time on CAREFULLY masking it????????

I was just about to compliment you on a fine tape job.

You guys are just the pits.............. ..............poor guys never going to come back now..............

I'm rolling on the carpet with a very bad stomach cramp from laughing so much..............you've just made my day..............

I can't wait for some one to post a truely beleiving post about this; currently I am giggling like a school girl pismrotflmao-ing.

 

[B-17engineer]

Wow! Be careful with the paint. Sometimes it comes out to thick and it'll completely ruin the paint job. I'll post pictures of mine later.

 

[Wayne Little]

I was thinking of building one too.....but I can't find one....bit frustrating......

 

[B-17engineer]

Hmmmm have you tried this store? Tons of them.

Satellite caught one on a test flight being followed by a chase plane.

Not that I would build it because it's not my scale, but I have to ask because I read in FSM that there were some dimensional issues with this kit. Something about them using both English and Metric measurements when engineering the mold. What have you found?

Oh, by the way kudo's to you on the backdating, finding the invisible putty to fare in the new intakes must have been a pain...both literally and figuratively.
