Cool stuff Cory - looking forward to pics!

 

[Catch22]

Pics! Ran out of yellow on the cowlings so will have to get some more.

EDIT: As soon as I upload them get get darker! I'm not sure why Photobucket does that.

Looking good Cory. Why not just upload direct to the forum from your photo files? Lot easier and quicker methinks.

 

[Catch22]

Thanks Terry. I use Photobucket because it automatically resized them to an acceptable size.

Nice work Cory.

Great looking build Cory,the paint looks awesome

 

[Crimea_River]

I agree.

 

[Airframes]

Ah, I see. Get Irfanview, for free - re-sizing, cropping etc is dead easy.

 

[Catch22]

Thanks guys!

I'll have to check if they make it for Mac.

The decals are on now, that shark's mouth was a pain! I'll have to fill in some with paint as I couldn't get it together properly at the front. The rest was ok though.

 

[Crimea_River]

Yeah, had the same problem with my Wespe.

 

[Catch22]

Here's it with the decals. The repairs on the mouth looked ok last night, until I saw the red had dried a bit darker.I'll try another red at some point, maybe the RLM red. It does look worse in the photos though.

I was also thinking of mounting it on a stand. Thoughts?

 

[A4K]

GREAT work Cory! Interesting idea of mounting too, reckon that'd look good! (Have you got crew for her?)

 

[Catch22]

Thanks Evan, and yes I do. I think I have about 4 from 190s, and possible a couple from a Stuka. That said, I don't know if they'd be accurate? I'm not up on my pilot's uniforms, or if there were differences depending on the plane.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks fantastic Cory!

 

[Catch22]

Thanks Andy!

 

[lostinhull]

Excellent - very sharp indeed

 

[Vic Balshaw]

This is looking just great Cory.

Looks great Cory, and the red doesn't look too bad to me. The crew would normally wear the one-piece flying suit, although of course climate etc might decide on other garments. Pilot had a seat-type parachute, bordfunker/gunner normally a back-pack chute.
