Had a few problems when it came to removing the masking for the blue nose. Some of the foil lifted.

 

[Airframes]

Looks good though.

 

[meatloaf109]

Wing puttied and painted.
I am going for a used but not abused look as 414-151 only spent a couple of months as "Petie 2nd"

I'm glad you asked,; this is an ongoing research project to discover cognitive memories in a half crocked modeler.
I have cut out the middle-man and am both researcher and subject.

Whatsamatter, too clean for you?

Yeah!

 

[Wurger]

Yeah!

Then many guys complain about grains at painted surfaces , spilt colours or lost pieces etc.... unfortunately.

However .... sometimes, a mess is good. Especially if it is the arranged mess.

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good so far!

Look upon the state of the table as a positive. If you cut a piece from the sprue and it flies and hits the table, it won't bounce off and into the maw of the carpet monster. Very nice work Paul.

Looks like a modelling bench to me....organised Chaos!

 

[meatloaf109]

Seems I'm in the majority. Has there ever been a "Messiest desk" contest? If not, I propose one, and you have seen my entry!

 

[Crimea_River]

You have me neat, but not by much.

 

[woody]

Nice work Paul.

 

[N4521U]

I like it!

 

[ozhawk40]

Come'in along fine Paul. The desk has character, don't tidy up on our account!

 

[meatloaf109]

Thanks, one and all.
While researching the P-51's wing, I came across some excelent info from this very website from some time back.
I have used those discussions to make my wing.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.
