Appreciate the hookup Vic...

If you want to PM me your email, I can send you the two page profile and the snippets of written info.

The black diagonals almost looks like a printing or drawing issue. It's exactly perpendicular to the page, the panel lines and flaps do not line up. It almost looks spliced in to make the drawing longer.

OK Vic, got some measurements.... Once again, I really appreciate u helping me give this crate some personality....

All I can measure though is 32nds of an inch...

White E and N: measured black M and D from decal sheet, measured at 16/32" height, 13/32" width...

White S7: measured middle band of cross, 7/32" height... Width is too hard to tell for each letter, but probably around 4/32"... Ill have to rely on u to make an eyeball estimate when printing....

White tank emblem: widest point of tank treads: 10/32".... Only solid number I could measure between model and picture....

I think thats about all I can provide u for measurements... Lemme know how this will be for u....

Got some work done today... Even though it dont seem like much, it took awhile to get correct....

Since the decision has been made to make this crate Brumels', a G-2, I went ahead and added the G-2 parts... Wingtips and access panel on top of the wing....

Lookin at pics and other builds, Ive noticed that the armor plating around the cockpit that comes withthe kit was waaaaayyyy too thick, so I made my own outta some plastic card and got them glued down....

Also got the radiators squared away, added a small metal bracket on the inside to eventually show the control arm inside...

Nice work Dan. Looks strange without the mill up front!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree, excellent touches.

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks again fellas...

Gonna get the front end all squared away with the intake detailing before attaching it to the fuselage....

[lesofprimus]

Thanks Daniel...

Damn Vic, that was reeeeaaaallll fast, thanks again Brother....

One thing I noticed with the profile we're using is the crosses are different from what the kit supplied, as well as other G-2's I have ref material on.... Not sure if I should use what I got and do what I think is correct, or use the profile depiction.....

Im leaning towards usin what I got azs the profile and write up is alittle incorrect in certain aspects, ie its a G-2 instead of a G-1 as the write up shows....

 

[Lucky13]

Looking great man!

 

[lesofprimus]

Finally got some time in, just small stuff till I get some more thinner today....

Sprayed some future and did some washing to test things out... Not real happy with the elevators, so Ill respray those... Got the radiator doors squared away and the control rods installed...

Guns came out pretty good, still need to weather them some more and add some filth/grease etc to em, as well as finish painting the barrels...

More to come...
