The flaps look good Woody and I love what you've done with the exhausts! They look very realistic. Is it all paint or is there some pastel chalk on them as well?

 

[Airframes]

Nice work, agree with all above. A bit late now, but for future use, it's a good thing to paint the internal surface frame work of the windscreen before fitting - this avoids the shiny, 'spaced' look of internal colour applied to the outside. Looking forward to the next stage.

Thank you guys, Crimea_River and yes thats pastels i learned on another sight. Airframes i will try that on next build thanks for the hint.

[woody]

Thank you guys for the nice comments and helpful input. Well i have not used future before so this will be my first go at it i did some touch up and ready to have a go at it but should i thin future or rite out of the bottle? thanks again all.

 

[Airframes]

Out of the bottle. Have a quick search of the forum, there's a thread entitled 'The Complete Future' - or something similar, which tells you all you need to know about it's uses, how to apply etc.
Quick tip - try it out on some scrap, both with a brush and airbrush, to get accustomed to it. It goes a long way, and covers easily, so beware of pitfalls such as pooling, drips etc.

 

[woody]

Thanks Airframes for the help. Future was sprayed and looks good to my blind eye i will let sit for a couple days i got the landing gear to work on prop is done. That dang 109F-4 keeps jumping out of the closet maybe i better start planning on it.

Coming along beautifully, Woody. Did you have to fill a gap between the canopy and cowling, before priming? If so, you did a brilliant job. I'd love to know what you used.

 

[woody]

Thank you Gerry i use automotive spot glazing putty you have to be careful it is a lacquer base and will melt the plastic i know first hand from the melt done i had and thinking back the wife laughed about it.

 

[woody]

Well i got the landing gear done and started applying decals doing all small ones first here are a few pics.

 

[magnu]

Coming along nicely Woody look forward to seeing it weathered

 

[Wayne Little]

Looking good Woody!

 

[Crimea_River]

I agree. Let me guess: the first pic was taken on Feb 14?

 

[Airframes]

Starting to come to life.
