Great job on the interior.

Beautful work Corey. Another way to dry CA quickly (although I haven't done this myself) is to use a CA accelerator. Also, if I have too big a blob of the stuff, the edge or corner of a facial tissue syphons up excess nicely. Less CA dries a lot faster.

Looking great mate!

Agree with all - lovely job mate!

 

[Maglar]

Thanks all.. getting there-

 

[Airframes]

Nice work there Mags, coming along nicely. Each to their own, but for future reference, you'll find it much easier, and safer, to mount the guns and antennae etc after the model is built and painted - much less chance of damage, easier to mask, and no collection of paint around aerial mast bases etc. Have a look at the base of the starboard waist gun window too - there's a slight uneveness, possibly a smalll amount of flash, which could show up like a dog's dangly bits once painted.

Thanks terry.. luckily the guns snapped on and I didn't glue them so i'll take them back off. Ill check the window too..

Thanks boys.. dismounted the guns - thats about it. Need to get the fuselage together and get the wheel rolling. After that, its just hours of gap filling and all that jazz!

 

[Maglar]

Well here she is now.. let me say, what a bad fit! As I put the halves together and rushed for the tape, it just wouldnt hold. So I had to use the CA early and fill it down the seam line top to bottom. Sanding to come, then probably another application of CA. Pic 2 shows where a lot of work will be done... oh the joys of big old kits!

 

[ozhawk40]

I see what you mean Corey, but with a bit of patience you should be able to straighten that out. Hey what's that model stand you have there? Looks the thing to have when you are doing a kit this size. 8)

I'm with Peter, what is the stand holding it? I've never seen that before. I would think that would kinda handy.

 

[Maglar]

It's tamiya stand. You get the two in the picture, one clamp type and another for holding sprue sticks, clamping stuff, and as well holding down a model. They swivel in a circle and are really nice..!

Great looking bird Cory, shame about the nose turret, but should be reasonably easy to fix. Also agree with the rest, lovely stand.

 

[lesofprimus]

[Wayne Little]

Confident you will get it right mate!
