Very cool!

Heinz · Dec 8, 2009

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

B-17engineer · Dec 8, 2009

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

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 · Dec 13, 2009

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

looking good Harrison

javlin · Dec 13, 2009

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.

Good tip Kevin! Will have to try that sometimes.

vikingBerserker · Dec 13, 2009

Nicely done.

Airframes · Dec 13, 2009

Coming along nicely H.

B-17engineer · Dec 13, 2009

Thanks.

Wayne Little · Dec 14, 2009

Doing great Harrison!

B-17engineer · Dec 14, 2009

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

Crimea_River · Dec 14, 2009

That's looking bloody magnificent H!

lesofprimus · Dec 14, 2009

Great start so far H...

B-17engineer · Dec 15, 2009

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..
