Thank you for your comment
Tony Hill ; I really like the detail of the cabins, engines and landing gears ... and this
huge four-engine have a lot to keep practicing ...
Finally I finished the two engines that I lacked to add hydraulic cables
(remember the post # 120) ... at that time I took 3 nights to make all the holes and the last 5 hours to complete the first 2.
I found a better way to cut and place the wires and in just over an hour finished the last two that had been pending before holiday !!
I still impresses about the amount of holes and wires used
( 224 and 112 respectively! ) ...
Soon I'll start with the process of painting, although I am still studying the best way and technique to do it.
I continued progress with tires and varying tones XF-23 and XF-16 matt aluminum, did some chipping on the wheels and then with a mixture X-1 black and red brown XF-64 (3/2) very diluted in water I gave him a wash to mess simulating a bit oil and grease.
Now I'm going to apply a layer of gloss varnish for with oils and chalks give the appearance of dust and desert land ...
Also they were almost ready (to 90%) ammunition boxes...
In a night's sleep, I dreamed of the ammunition belt rails and how to make them ...
... And my occurrence was to use Tamiya tape foil lined up to give the proportionate to the scale thickness ...
... And then with a knife not very sharp, give the closest to reality appearance. ...
Then I did a test simulating the belt with a piece of tape, to get an estimate of the required size. I glued with white glue the tape to the box and one of the machine guns and with bits of tak did a dry fit on one side of the plane ...
...I like how it looks...
It's all for now, your feedback is welcome.
Cheers
