A little more..

Wet paint of left side...... as you see.. I need to clean it up a bit..

Control console. Didn't add throttles or levers...

Then added Rudd Pedals

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very cool!

 

[Heinz]

Looking good, just wondering if perhaps it may have been easier to paint these on the sprue?

 

[B-17engineer]

Well the first pic was a mess up (see earlier.) Other's I'll just go over with another thing layer of paint.

 

[Crimea_River]

[Airframes]

Quick updates. I got the paint sorted as you can see the parts still on sprue were painted nicely. I am ecstatic about that. So the wall I dry brushed was because I needed to wash the part and thin paint.

I was wondering could a Mod add to the title "Uffz. Ulrich"

 

[B-17engineer]

And.. now just the seat and armor plate..

looking good Harrison

 

[javlin]

Looks good Harrison yea most of the time you need to thin your paint when brush painting.I have a small bottle of thinner 1)use the lid of paint for your paint2)then dip your brush in thinner heavy then back to lid an swirl it and then start painting.If it's to thin get a little paint to the cap and thicken it up but yea MM paint is thick and needs thinning.

 

[B-17engineer]

Good tip Kevin! Will have to try that sometimes.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nicely done.

 

[Airframes]

Coming along nicely H.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks.

 

[Wayne Little]

Doing great Harrison!

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks. Should be getting the pilots chair in later today after the armor plating is set and dry this morning.

 

[Crimea_River]

That's looking bloody magnificent H!

 

[lesofprimus]

Great start so far H...

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks. Couple things still need to be done, pilots chair. You can see it's slanted cause it's not glued... Control yoke, and instruments then I can close her up... or so the directions say..
