Thks for the replies fellas I could not imagine the size of this crate in 1/24!!

 

[T Bolt]

Won't be long now before you're putting paint on it

 

[javlin]

Well got the gloss black base laid and while I was at black based some parts in both kits for later.This gal was 98%+ seamless

[Crimea_River]

Should turn out great.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

 

[JKim]

Ooh... black basing... are you going to show that process?

 

[javlin]

John post 73 you can kinda see it happening in the wheel wells,The black basing just makes the recesses look darker and the areas out in the middle uneven depending on one's variation of the level of paint applied.I plan on doing the exterio panels and wheel wells on both A/C.

 

[javlin]

Does "Miss Caesar" look like she has that funky looking paddle prop?If so luckily the Trump kit supplied it.

 

[T Bolt]

Kevin, That looks like the Curtiss asymmetrical paddle blade prop.

 

[javlin]

Got the French Blue laid last night and the OD today alittle touch around the pit for the OD no biggee.Glenn that is the asymmetrical paddle prop right?

[Airframes]

Looking good Kevin.

 

[Crimea_River]

Likin' it Kev. Glenn's your man for the prop question for sure.

 

[javlin]

Thks Guy's I still got to do some panel selection I feel the tailplanes and rudder for sure in a duller aluminum but maybe Glenn has some thought's on other panels instead of me just randomly.Then that might be the trick

 

[T Bolt]

That is the asymmetrical prop Kevin.

As far as the color variation on panels goes, for the P-47N I built in the Pacific GB, I looked at a lot of photos but in the end did what I thought looked good. Here is the masking I applied after the old aluminum was sprayed on
